Some white ass American should fuck themselves

It's hard to believe even at today, there are still American thought they were better than others, or white were better than any other color.

This fat American white ass who drove Chrsyler cruiser plate CA 5ZDL709 just proved how rude, under-educated, low-class they are.

Uzak 遠方 (2002)

土耳其導演Nuri Bilge Ceylan 的劇情長片


沒有甚麼具體的故事 但是角色飽滿 每個鏡頭都美極了


這是一部關於生命狀態的電影
觸不及的迷戀與目標 對舊愛的難捨 表面的理想光鮮與暗處的自私猥褻
我們對生命的無奈最終都凝結在Maumut那一個遠方的凝視中

第一個鏡頭從雪地里遠方走來的Yusuf開始 透過由遠而近的透視變化 給足了這個鏡頭的空間感






































接著角色出鏡 鏡頭旋轉帶到一條公路 角色再度入鏡
導演在同一個鏡頭內將所有序事交代完畢















這個鏡頭也是經由極端的景深 讓角色自然表演出敘事:Maumut對Yusuf抽菸不關門的不滿

CalArts producer show '09

I was lucky I had a chance to attend this event again after'07.
Overall the work is not as impressive as in '07. But there are some solid films got really unique design and technique in it. Like this one:

這是來自台灣的David Chao的作品!


Like Andrew Gordan mention in SplineDoctors blog, the animation in this year's film are not the top notched. But hey,I am just a lazy 3D animator I give all the students the highest repect. If I were student again and they ask me to do a film in a year, I will probably kill myself real soon.

Back to work today

Luckily I don't have anything to do today, keep working on my own stuff.
Really, I want to finish my reel and find another job this year.
This is a good company, but I just can't stay here seeing myself decaying.....
TsuiChun said my work stops improving...that's really a shame. I have worked on several films and I still feel like I haven't done anything meaningful.

瘋狂星期八 by TT麻亞

Yesterday was my last day of vacation. Our food hunting trip lead us to 鼎泰豐 in Arcadia.
The food there tastes exactly the same like in Taiwan. The whole plaza are very Taiwanese, unlike those occupied by mainlander in Monterey Park or Alhambra.

And, I happened to find this book in the book store there.

It's been out of print for 13 years. I never got to see any image about it at all, only words from internet saying TT麻亞's ultimate talent.

I met her once in book festival around 98 or 99, when Jo Chen published her first comic in Taiwan. She is very kind and friendly. For us(me and my sister), she is just the legend in TW's comic world. We were so excited like fan boys just for talking with her.

I hope she can still drawing for comic world in Taiwan.
