After a long time......

At last.. i managed to write something after a long time.... seriously, was extremely busy this past few weeks... too sum up... i went through HELL!!!!... the semester was really tough and since it was only 7 weeks... the assignments were cramped up and it wasnt easy at all.... there were 3 subjects this semester, Broadcast Journalism, Creative Strategy for Advertisng and my personal favourite, Film Apprecation, Interpretation & Criticism.

For Broadcast Journalism, our assignments was to create a tv, radio & internet news a.k.a news blog and it was 70% all together. Tust me, it wasnt easy.. We had to cover 5 different news. So as usual, me and my group went to shoot whatever events we could find and started to ed

it them and all. In the end, it was a real good experience though there were many things that could be improved.

Then our exam schedule came up and to our horror, the final paper will be on the 23 of december.. TWO days before christmas... what the hell... but what to do... hehehehe... since im having a long break in between my exams, i decided to go watch some movies... i started doing research on this one film-maker, whom is on my idol list now, Akira Kurosawa..

Man, he is known to have revolutionized world cinema with some of his style being used by top film-makers around the world, some even use his stories and make movies out of them such as Akira's Seven Samurai's

was remade in Hollywood as the Magnificent 7 and few other's as well, sorry, forgot the titles already..hehehehe. But seriously, i tried finding his movies and so far, i only manage to find one movie of his, KAGEMUSHA, havent watch it yet... waiting for my exams to end to sit and watch these masterpiece comfortably.

Another film-maker that caught my attention is director James Cameroon....

I still remember, 11 years ago, when he won the best director for Titanic in the oscar, he said" Im King of the world". Now after 11 years, he released his next venture "AVATAR".....

and guess what.. he really is the KING of the world. The movie is simply awesome, the cgi's, animation, the message he implemented in the story and the action sequence.... mind blowing.... its just a pity that there is no IMAX in Malaysia, or else, we could have witness the real magic James Cameroon wanted us to see in AVATAR.... he actually shoot the entire film with IMAX camera as well so most of the graphics are more emphasised in IMAX .But he really did a great job.

One thing that i really admire about him is his passion. He actually wrote the first draft of AVATAR way back in 1994 but couldn't execute the project due to the technology constraint at that time, but he didn't give up, he patiently waited and in the end he got what he wanted and he did what he wanted.... what great passion he has... marvellous. I really respect these kind of people, people who are passionate in what they do.

AVATAR the movie is another inspiration for me to work hard and achive my dream. If James Cameroon could wait for 17 years before making AVATAR, why not me???? hehehehehe... everyone has their good and bad time... my good time will come one day :-) and i seriously hope that James Cameroon would win the oscar once again for the same category he won 11 years ago. Because he deserve's it!!!!
