Bersih 4, Malaysians marching for the good of their nation

Image
Malaysia will be celebrating its 58th year of independence tomorrow (August 31st). But at this very moment, on the eve before our Independence Day, tens and thousands protesters have taken to the streets to call for reforms, flooding the cities with yellow. We have reached the second day of this 2-day large-scaled rally. This time, people are calling not only for electoral reforms but also for the resignation of the current Prime Minister. It's ongoing, but I need to remember this. Perhaps this Bersih 4 of 29th and 30th of August, 2015 will be remembered as a watershed moment in our nation's history, even though, unsurprisingly, and typically, such things will surely be struck off from our history books. Here's the Great Leader, condemning the people who wanted to march for the good of the country. Najib said the actions of Bersih were seen as deliberately trying to discredit Malaysia's image at the international level. Posted by The Star Online on  S

More photos from a music video shoot

The second music video I did with the rock band Alienoid 異種 revolves around a love-hate relationship between a young couple played by renowned actress/ model Agnes Lim 林莉幃 and rising actor Soo Xu Ze 苏熙喆. In which they were willing to do crazy things for love!

Photos from a music video shoot

I was shooting two music videos of a local Cantorock band Alienoid 異種 earlier this month. Both are in post-production. Music video shoots have a lot of their own pleasures, especially when you get to experiment with new things, new people, new filmmaking styles etc. I even got to test the Ronin-M Gimbal, too bad it worked only for the DSLRs. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera, which was my main camera, was too big for it. Posted by TK Cheng on  Tuesday, August 4, 2015 The first music video I shot on the 1st and 2nd of August was more of a heartwarming family story thing, because the song is about the passing of time 時日如飛. It stars local actors Kenji Sawahii (whom I've worked with before in RIVER OF EXPLODING DURIANS, he played the father of Joey Leong's Mei Ann character), Chythia Tan, Veron Lin and 6-year old Estellis. I worked with Estellis last year before. The reluctant lead actress of my new short. Posted by Edmund Yeo on  Wednesday, August 27, 2014 She's now a bit o
