• Any Metal Heads Out There???

  Wednesday, May 7, 2008 2:51AM / Members only

  Just realised today that I haven't added any new songs to my Ipod for almost 2 months, I was part being lazy and the other part was me being content with the songs I had on it...

  It was full of Audioslave, Sound Garden, Beastie Boys, HIM and Slipknot... But now that summer has arrived in HK... it's time for some new music I reckon...

  Can anyone recommend some new music in the Nu metal and Hard Rock department for me??

  My sister turned me to this band called Theory of a Dead Man their new album is really good... here is a clip...

• My Ray Winstone Tribute… The Best Actor Ever in my book...

  Monday, Jan 14, 2008 11:29PM / Members only

  Are there any Ray Winstone fans out there?

   

  I guess most young directors dream of one day directing actors like Anthony Hopkins, Deniro or Pacino, but not me, I’ve been obsessing about making a movie with Ray Winstone since 1997… In fact I have started writing a screenplay called “Avenues and Alleyways” just for him. I have tried sending his agent info, but to no avail…

   

  He’s been the best British actor for a long time, and now Hollywood is just discovering him. He played Mr. French in “The Departed”, then played the lead role in “Beowulf” and now he is in “Indiana Jones 4”… But his best work is by far “Nil By Mouth” directed by Gary Oldman, “Sexy Beast” and the Tim Roth directed, “The War Zone”.

   

  And Ray if you are listening… (doubtful…) One way or another, I am gonna get my scrīpt to you (self reassurance…) even if it means camping outside your house… (Man, have I turned into an obsessed fan?)

   

  Check out these clips and judge for yourself…

• Aaron Kwok MV 《舞林正傳》is finally here...

  Sunday, Oct 28, 2007 4:30AM / Members only

  Hi Everyone at AnD,

   

            Before we look at the final product, let’s take a quick lesson in the truest truism of all, none is more true than “The Customer is Always Right”. Since Aaron is playing a waiter in this video, I think he would agree with me on that…

   

  

   

  As new directors, we have no bargaining power to ask for final cut, and in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, many experienced film directors don’t have control over editing either. So it’s up to the producer or the person who paid you to decide in what shape the audience will be viewing your work.

   

  I have to admit, I am a film person, I want to tell stories, so as a rookie music video director, I knew I favored the storyline more than just loud visuals. So I worked with the CG team of the movie “Naraka 19” to make some interesting visuals to balance the two. I had edited a version with a storyline between Aaron and the waitress, where in the end the audience finds out they are both in each other’s dream world…

   

  Sadly a decision was made to abandon my version and out came the version which you are about to see… Hence the expression, “The Customer is Always Right!”

   

  For now, my director’s cut will stay neatly tucked away inside my computer in ones and zeros form. Hopefully one day, people will get to see it…

   

  Enjoy…

   

  Daniel
