Hey guys, it's been a while.. How are you all? I know you'll be fine as long as u think u are gonna be fine after facing those "storms" in life ;)
I've been learning a lot in the past 3 months.
Learning to trust, hope, to be persistent as well as patient most of the time.
In this 5th semester of my uni life, i need to make a movie (category: culture). My group chose music. Explorational music as the topic. We will be exposing Frans Sisir, a guy from Papua who can use comb and plastic bag as a musical instrument.
It's got a saxophone-like sound.
As the producer and the scriptwriter of this movie project, I've been giving all my very best contacting him, writing the script in English.. Proper English.. Bleah..
That was hard.. English isn't my first language.
Thanks a lot to Terry Theodore my Singaporean friend who helped me to correct the grammar and structure of the proposal.. YAY! I do thank God for you my bro :)
So, the shooting process is on the go. This morning was the second day of shooting.. It was FUN-TASTIC!!!!!!! :) Thanks a lot to the Bagenda clan :) Ronny, Netty, Joel, Joyce, and Jessica for your time! U guys got a great acting skill! No wonder we finished the shooting only in 1 hour~!
I realize more and more each day that whatever we do without God's contribution is totally a ZERO.
Shooting - Day 1 - was NORMAL. It was taken at MES Cendrawasih, somewhere near my campus. It's like a Papuan cribs.. We shooted some Papuan kids to represent our main actor's childhood.
Errrmm.. But me and team were totally disappointed because of the main actor (Frans Sisir himself) broke his promise. We actually have made an appointment like few weeks before to shoot him on that day and after that day! But he wasn't even at home! I called him like 70 times but he didn't answer the phone! Til his wife answered the phone IN THE EVENING! too late Madam to answer it actually! She was like being unfriendly to me on the phone.. wondering why should u shoot my husband? what kind of project is thattt?? (Like showing how weird it is to have a movie project at Uni)
I explained and explained and I emphasized to her and her husband not to PROMISE first if they are not able to fulfill what they have promised. Our team had been waiting him in his house for so long, with our heavy equipment such as red light, tripod, camera, and so forth. Thank God his second child was at home at that time, so we could enter his house to shoot some pictures on the wall. His child named Kezia as well. Just like me. She was like being pushy asking me to buy some snacks for her and also asking me to accompany her playing barbies and drawing things.. Well... it was okay. Quite fun. This is my picture with her and Daniel, her neighbor.
But well, his father has made a bad impression in our team's mind. Too bad.
So, we learn once again about INTEGRITY! DO WHAT YOU SAY! SAY WHAT YOU CAN DO!
Be honest, like if you want the money, just tell your boss how much you want!
Your boss will consider what's best for you!
Oh one more disappointing thing about him was he said "YES I WILL HELP YOU ON YOUR PROJECT, DARLING"
Well please be sincere if u do really want to help people. Not like him.
That was truly a bad example!
But God bless you and family, Frans Sisir! We still thank you and Him! We reap what we sow..
This project is for God's glory.. If u think u are great, look to our Creator! He's much greater than us! Be humble!
Be consistent! Be true!
I speak to my life that the next shooting process is gonna be fulfilled with miracles, joy, and God's gonna contribute His power in it! So it's all about our teamwork with God..
I will let u know guys about the amazing result.. If i am able to post the movie clip on the internet i will let u know..
Thanks a lot for those who have been praying for this project, and those who have been supporting us through whatever it is!
WE DO appreciate it! God will give back double good things to u!
Tomorrow is gonna be better than today.
P.S: Do not be afraid to speak up your mind! Just filter the words u use when u write it on the internet. Just like what I just did here.
Cheers! Peace on earth!
