shortcuts



About a year ago, Arts Central had organised a massive short-short-movie competition. Short-short because the movie runtime must not exceed 1 minute. The top 10 entries will each received S$500.

I do not know why but i took up my trusty S$75.00 1.2MP BENQ digital camera and started shooting a movie. The end product was not too bad considering that it was very much a one man show.

The movie has absolutely no plot and it was shot on a whim with no planning at all. The only thing you will learnt from it is that you have just wasted 1 minute of your life watching it.

Extensive planning was done prior to the filming. The movie was shot in the first person view and i would classify it as a comedy. A tongue in cheek look at something very ordinary. Despite it being a comedy it does raised a few thought provoking issues on our society and i assure you that by the end of the film the viewers would have learnt an invaluable lesson about life and would be a better individual because of it (yeah, right).

Sadly though, i did not send it in.
