Come Back, Sun!

It is late afternoon, and the Pillows are having fun roller-skating around the Town Centre. “The sun’s going down and it will soon be dark” chuckles Mr Fern, looking at the sun slowly disappearing over the horizon. But the children want to carry on playing .

“I know!” says Penny, having one of her mad creative ideas. “If we follow the sun wherever it goes, it will stay light, and then we can carry on playing!”
   

Helpful Sunny

Penny and Annie are playing frisbee in the Town Centre, when Penny throws the ball a little too hard and it bounces across the street with Annie chasing after it. But Sunny sees Lenny approaching, and pulls her back again to safety! Annie gives Sunny her favourite frisbee as a reward! Sunny gets excited.

“I didn’t know that you got a reward for helping others! Maybe I should try and be helpful again?!” thinks Sunny.
   
   

Short Films and TV series

   

Bark At The Moon
Masks are prevalent in modern society both literally and metaphorically. In my film I have attempted to create a surrealistic introduction to Masks from the primitive to the modern. I have incorporated elements which are abstract, perhaps even bizarre, yet stimulating. My work, I hope, will capture the essence of the surrealist masters I admire.

Peep Show
The concept is based on the theme of ‘Point of View’.  We are constantly making judgement in our daily life. In today’s world there are many mislaid point of view like in religions, fashion, art, poverty and politics. The objective of my film is to establish the oneness in all of us. We should treat everyone equal. Always bearing in mind that we are all also ‘judged’ at all time.

The Slayer
This is an experimental short film. I had an optical camera at my disposal and lots of blue pencils. Inspired on a fantasy comic book story I was reading at that time, I started sketching various frames using a blue colour pencils.I then shot each frame with various dissolves using the optical camera. With no idea what the final the result will be, I worked on this project for three weeks. When I finally previewed the print, it was exhilarating.
