His Number - MDoan Comics Productions

- - - - -

Victoria is minding her own business, hanging with her friends at Boomers, when an old classmate from elementary school suprises her--John. John and Victoria, who is startled by his presense, has a conversations, discussing old times and catching up on life nowadays. They exchange phone number when they depart from one another, but both never talk to each other again as Victoria leaves it be as she escapes her past.


This is my first film short ever. So yes, expect some mistakes and a bit of bad editing in some parts. The day we were filming two of my friends, David and Gilbert, who didn't know we were filming when we were hanging out, were rushing me to finish the filming from two hours to one. So sorry. Plus, I planned to use my digital camera to serve as my "boom mic" to record the audio at the table while I recorded the the film with the camcorder. But it ran out of battery...and you couldn't hear their voices that well because of distance and due to the fact that the guys kept talking really loud. That's why some of the audio doesn't match that well or sounds funny when I rerecorded at school later on.


It's not my best video, but, hopefully the next video will be MUCH better :D Wish me luck!


Anyhow.

Enjoy :]

Story of my Love Life (unfinished)

"My failure Reflections 2009 entry for 'Beauty is...' as a poem. I was just testing it out (It's made up). I think I'm going back to expressive writing like blog writing for the literature section."

- - - - -

Emotions are wondrous things.

It is what makes up beauty. Seeing

past what lies on one’s skin and having

one’s heart full of passion: loving.


(Story of my love life)

It gives the people feeling of closeness

(Your rejection’s like a knife)

and lifts them off the ground with pure happiness.

(You’re the only one I like)

And the times of conflicts and absence

create sadness and a little bit of loneliness


(Story of my love life)

Story of my love life


Jealousy, when that cute girl passes by.

Starts to flirt with my dream love. That guy

has no clue how much that I try

to not get nervous when I come up, say “hi.”


There she goes, hazel eyes and her hair brown.

We just broke up: was another fight, another frown.

I don’t think I can look like a clown

anymore. She’s already bringing me down.


Walk away, I just saw him kissing,

not just a girl, but my best friend Missy

New template

just reramping the blog for the new year, so sorry for unfinished boxes on the right side...I'll do it tomorrow

Do You Remember 9/11?


- - - - -


A tribute to September 11, 2009 for my school's BBN (Baron Broadcast News) that released on the 11th. The interview were all mine. The newscast clips were borrowed.


I got my Youtube newscast sources from the following links:
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP5uIPyY DlQ

Music:
-"Watch the World" by Box Car Racer


Anyhow.
Enjoy :D

FVHS BBN Camp Proj 2 - Charlie's Angels Trailer


- - - - -


Sorry for not making an actual video in a long time. This video actually is a video I created with my group in my school's film class for camp. It's our second film project.


The object was to make a video with a character named Jack Magnum and with a chair in a tree, maximum of 2 minutes. Oh, there had to be a line that said "They'll crack under the pressure."

Our group was going to do a I am Legend and Castaway spoof combo at first until the next day, we all completely changed the idea =_= Gosh...so it became a Charlie's Angel movie trailer instead...I just went along. I did almost all the filming and the editing. I didn't feel as confident on this film project as my first one about Vandalism (which I will post on Wednesday, Sept 2). Um, I don't really like this video as much, because of the improvision and the other guy's ideas. So my editing was somewhat sloppy in this.


I don't know what music was used, since most of the music added were by other group members. I only know the first one was the original Charlie's Angel's theme song.


Even though, I did not like it as much, I thought it was still quite funny and everyone else in the class voted it as the best out of all the other camp projects, excluding veterans.


Anyhow.
Enjoy =]

FVHS BBN Camp Proj 2 - Vandalism is No Child's Play PSA


- - - - -


This was the PSA I was talking about in the Charlie's Angel's Trailer video. This was the first film group project I have ever worked on and the first time using Adobe Premiere CS3 and the professional cameras.


I didn't get a chance to use the camera on this one, but I did most of the editing.


This PSA was also premiered in the 1st episode of the BBN (Baron BroadCast News) at my school.


Music:
-I don't know...I didn't provide it.
-I think one of em is the WIggles


Anyhow.
Enjoy :]

You Can't Hear the Ghost Mimes Cry

Inside are excruciating electric shocks, coming on and off. Hundreds of knives flying through my chest and the palm of my hands.

But I don't cry.

I hold it in for hours, hoping the feeling will simply drift away watching a couple episodes of "Friends." But as much as the comic relief made me laugh, it wasn't enough to mask the pain.

I punch my knuckles into the palm of my hand and rub it, hoping my whole body would go numb as I restrain my internal hell.

There is an infinitely tall glass wall, indestructable and never-ending from left to right, that seperates me from the rest of the world.

I should be happy for them and hope they have fun with their peers on the other side of the glass. I shouldn't burden them for not.

It's a ghostly feeling.

I can't touch them. I become a transparent spirit, falling right through their bodies without effect.

Perhaps I'm blind because I can only see their dark silhoeuette as they speak to me in their sweet friendly voices.

Three in the morning and I can't sleep. I should close my eyes and pretend my bed is a bunch of soft marshmellows of Cloud Nine.

I cry.

But no one is around to see or hear me because you can't hear the ghost mimes cry.

I Hate Modified Days

So on certain Tuesdays, we have modified day, where school (or first period) starts at 9am instead of 8...but 0 period still has to come at usual time at 7am...

This always...happens to me...like today.

(end of 0 period bell rings)
M: Hey Sami, what's your first period?
S: Math.
M: Oh, cool
(both grabbing backs and heading out the door)
M: So where's your math class?
S: Over there. (points to the left)
M: Oh...my English class over there D; (points to the right)
S: Where are you headed?
M: Um...over there? (points same direction as before) O_o
S: The library?
M: Huh?
S: Are you going to the library?
M: No o.O
S: Then where are you going?
M: English...
S: You do know today is modified today right?


(Storms back inside Mr. Ziebarth's 0 period)
M: I HATE modified days...

- - - - -

I remember another time last year...I thought I was late to first period and went striaght to Mr. Fitzpatrick's and found out he had a teacher's meeting. I went back to the Baron Banner room again (when it belonged to Poff)...

Even as a junior in FVHS...I still can't remember when it's modifed day ...
