Ninja Training

I have been doing some non-design related training as of late.
Yes, that’s me. I have decided to become a ninja.
This is my Ninja handbook (a gift from J). I read it at home when I am not training in the woods.
Yesterday I shurikened a chicken into twenty two thousand pieces.
These are my clan mates. They are lethal!
He can kill you with his eyes closed!
This is the samurai who wanted to be a ninja. We didn’t let him join because he was uncool and wore a girly shirt.
This is me practicing my skills on the chair.
What, you can’t see me?
Exactly.
J, on the other hand, has been busy preparing a different set of skills.
When the zombie apocalypse comes, we will be ready. Hoo Ha!

Shootup

A few weeks ago, we went to Ruel Antipuesto’s Shoot Up workshop. We got to do a few impromptu short films over the two day crash course. Screenshots below :-)

Johanna’s film: the assignment was to create something with the theme “help”

We were grouped by threes, Ian Joplin (yes, that is her name) played moviemaker with us and is seen here directing J.

This one was called ‘Cheating Death’.

There was one assignment where we were asked to do a tutorial on how to make a paper plane. Who would’ve thought we’d forget how! So we made stop motion paper boats instead.

Ruel, award winning director and cinematographer.

I hear there is going to be more video production workshops from Ruel Antipuesto and ARTIST KO, if interested you should tune in to their facebook page.

Fairy Tales

Saw this in a crowded room and fell in love.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of fairy tales. Especially those as beautifully illustrated as this one.

The lovely golden cover, the thick cream-colored pages and the enchanting illustrations by Edmund Dulac called out to me. Resistance was futile. Pretty soon the book was in my arms and there it stayed til we got home :-)

White Dog

A man came by the studio gates and rang the bell. Will you help me? He asked, My house has burned down. I gave him a few and he said we will be blessed.

What struck me most about him was the dog that he held up with his arm. It sat without moving, only staring. Its fur white as cotton and eyes dark as the abyss.
