The third installment in my series.

The Infiltration Continues...

[The following footage is of a case designated "International Secret Agents" and was found in the area formerly known as "Palace of Fine Arts".]

Music by Far East Movement
"Millionaire feat. Jin"
"Animal"


*sigh*. Finally.
For some reason, I'm not very satisfied with the way I did this one. I originally planned on filming an opening sequence, but that fell through.

This is the original fb message I sent with the idea.
"are you guys busy tomorrow afternoon to film?
so I've got a short script. don't worry thu, there's little to no dialogue, (mostly because I can't write dialogue haha)
and the bulk of it is a chase scene.
Probably wanna film it like at the parking garage or something.

For some reason, I'm still bouncing ideas around, but
The only one that seems solid right now is, it opens with an intense chase scene, a la that big bang music video. My character is running/being chased, and it’s just super rapid quick cuts. He’s carrying an envelope or something, there’s a closeup on the ISA top secret logo. He Runs into an elevator. As the elevator doors open, you guys are outside the door, looking pissed.

My character has this “fuuuuuhh” expression. Then, panting and out of breath, he says
“Relax guys. I have 3 tickets.”

Fade out to ISA Logo, Music. etcetc"

It was very much inspired by the music video for Big Bang's "Lie". Youtube it. It's tight.


then I had so many different concepts running through my head on how to edit it, since I wanted this one to be vastly different than my first two Wong Fu vids (which were essentially, copies homages to wong fu's own tour vids.
I started to settle on a "cloverfield-esque" secret agent footage tape, but then it felt odd not having the intro montage like my other videos, so I added the trailer to the front, which kind of threw off the flow.
Also, a lot of footage is missing from other performances because I borrowed a friend's camera, which has super shitty battery life. So yeah. Parts of the footage had to be taken from Thu's digital camera. (for the parts that switch from widescreen to fullscreen.

So yeah. Could have been better. I think the trailer actually built up the hype too much. :(
Oh well.

Wong Fu Vid v.4! Coming Soon! (hopefully.)

TODAY'S THE DAY.

Bruce Lee Ping Pong



Part of me thinks this is so disrespectful to such an icon, but the other part is just thinking this is too damn cool for words. Apparently it's a Chinese phone commercial for Nokia in which they superimpose old Bruce Lee footage into a ping-pong match.

Bruce Lee owns. This is so ridiculous.

I looked through my photos again, and I really liked the composition of this one. Unfortunately I didn't take any footage while I was in Beijing, so there won't be a video like I did for HK.
Looks cool though.

HONG KONG: Sights, Sounds, life

Just a bunch of random clips I edited together from my trip to Hong Kong. Nothing really planned, I just had a bunch of footage and nothing to do with them, so it's a little sketchy.

I didn't even have a video camera, these were all captured on my digital cam.

I just wish I had planned something more, maybe made a short, or a cheesy music video or something. Oh well. I'm definitely heading back.

Stupidity from Junior Year.

wow.

But I still get a little star struck when I see Wong Fu. Or when Wes comments my videos.

The Video is FINALLY UP. Oh man. Facebook was frustrating me to no end. I uploaded it 6 times, before it would finally process. And considering each upload takes about an hour and a half, that's a lot of frustration.
