The Interview

BANDWIDTH: How did filming started for you.

JASON: This was really funny to start off with. When I was in high school, I never really thought about it. I just love watching movies and I am a TV-freak last time. I remembered when I was in form 1, a friend of mine Clement Jaikul Jr. often talked about movies and filming stuff. Never really bothered about filming stuff though back then, but I always like to be the one who holds my dad's video camera (that time it was huge) and started recording people around me. But ended up having wobbly videos (more like Blair Witch Project kinda style)..Then I went to Australia, I met few international friends there and one of them who really pursued cinematography was Putra Arradin. He's one of the top directors in Indonesia now. Still I am not interested in filming but still going to the movies a lot. But back in Kota Kinabalu, one day my wife (but at that time we were not married yet) asked me if I could do a music video for her sister Saldivianna Wences. So I said, I don't know, I do have the basics though but never really tried doing it solo. So I gave it a try equipped with a BenQ digital camera, a laptop and create a music video. The result of course is not that good, but on that very time, it got me thinking, "hey I can do this"...So I think that's where it all started.

BANDWIDTH: Filming wise - who's your inspiration?

JASON: I can't say who's my inspiration because there are lots of good movies out there and good directors. I never really sit down and watch the credit roll till the end to know the name of the director. But at the very early age I do know Steven Spielberg. Heheheh. But to say he's my inspiration, I am not really sure if it is in the context of he's behind the reason for me to start filming.

BANDWIDTH: Name us your favorite directors and influences.

JASON: I loved to see the works from Peter Jackson (LOTR), Wilson Yip (Ip Man), Michael Bay (Transformers) and the latest are Prachya Pinkaew (Ong Bak), Putra Arradin (Commercials/TVC), A. Gandy (Music Video Directors)

BANDWIDTH: You shot Esther Applunius and Andalusia's music video this year and last year, what was the feeling?

JASON: To be honest..IT WAS AMAZING!!. (laugh) I got to say, I can't believe that I was given the trust and opportunities to shot Esther Applunius' and Andalusia's music video. At the back of my head that time, I said to myself, these artists have made their marks and they are MALAYSIAN Artist already. I felt a bit hesitated that time because of the equipments that I had compared to professional full-blown production company. I was not that confident if I could give the best results to them. Mind you, when I shot Andalusia's music video, it was only using HD Sony Handycam. But I guess, it was the editing and concept that really brings out the magic. As for Esther's, I was really nervous because I didn't know what she would expect and to be honest, first time I heard her voice, I knew that she's a perfectionist and that really scares the hell out of me.

BANDWIDTH. Apart from directing music videos, you do videography services in KK as well, tell us more about that..

JASON: Yes. Actually that wasn't part of the plan. I just wanted to do music videos and cinematography, but I had few requests for wedding video services, events and also offline editing so I go along with it. Especially wedding videos, I did a wedding mv, which has this sort of cinematography feel incorporated into that video. It is not a normal wedding videos but I just go for it and create it. At first my client is not really sure about it. It was my wife's client actually but I managed to convince the couple to give it a go. So they go for it and they love it. Apart from that I do events coverage and also offline editing.

BANDWIDTH: Tampasak Production, tell us about it..

JASON: Well Tampasak Production came about when I was trying to look for my production name. I do not want to put my name on my work, so I had to find something for my production name. To be honest, I was a chat freak as well last time, so i go by the nickname of Tampasak. Tampasak is the name of my kampung in Tambunan. (Before Tambunanites going to say "There is no kampung tampasak registered in Tambunan) It is actually where my grandparent's house is in Tambunan. The name of that place is Tampasak. So I kinda like that name so I just put Tampasak Production. I know it is not as glamourous or commercial but I like it...

BANDWIDTH: Any intentions on doing up a movie?

JASON: Hahahha...man, you really know what to ask..hahha...yerp of course. I wanted to be the first Sabahan to break away from the normal typical movies that we see around here. You see, the differences between Americans and the rest of the world excluding India, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong is that, they produce movie for the purpose of making money. Now I am not saying that I am going to do this because of the money, of course who doesn't like money right? But you see, they put their emphasis on making it marketable up to the point where they can produce something out from the extraordinary. Look at Bollywood, of course as a child I hate hindi movie but look at the new generations of movies produced by Bollywood, the cinematography is excellent. So instead of putting too much on art appreciation and theatre style of acting and all, I wanted to break away from all the common genres I've seen around locally. So I wanted to do something different this time around. In fact I have just called few people to sit down with me and make this project work. Mind you, even the actors and actresses will not be someone that Malaysia are familiar with. I wanted to be like what happen to the movie "My big fat greek wedding" All the casts are unknown or not famous at all.

BANDWIDTH: Do you think we get much support by the government in terms of independent filming?

JASON:It's hard to say, because in the past, we are not that exposed in terms of financial and non-financial support or maybe I’ve been living in my own world. (laugh) But my honest opinion is many of the independent filmmakers, go through their own separate ways and the only proper channel that we have here is TV1. Most telemovies that we've seen here are produced by independent companies and it is not that well commercialized just yet. I don't know, maybe I am wrong. But as far as I am concerned, there is no full-scale movie done by a Sabahan and featured in cinema. I might be wrong in my judgment but i guess since the FFM22 which was held in Sabah, becomes the eye opener for many Sabahans who wanted to jump into this industry and it can be a turn around point for the independent filming industry here locally.

BANDWIDTH: Any advice for filmmakers wannabes?

JASON: Be persistent and put pride in your work. Do not go around back stabbing people. Of course in reality it is a "dog eat dog" world but always remember KARMA. If it is an expert that criticized you, LISTEN and if non-expert criticized you, HEAR IT.

BANDWIDTH: What's in store for Jason J Bullah in the near future?

JASON: I wanted to focus on cinematography because I am really excited with this new idea I have. I wanted to make it a reality. I do not know if FINAS will ever let it go through, but usually creating something out of the extraordinary and breaking away from the common movies seems to be the way of how great movies were made. I wanted to give it a try and see to what extend that I am able to reach with whatever support that I have from my family and friends.

Updates

2010-04-07T10:27:00.003+08:00

Was quite busy for sometime now and didn't actually get the chance to sit down to properly write in this blog. I could only manage to update my fb and the videos in there. Anyway, I have finished shooting 8 of Esther Applunius Chin's Music Video. She is the 1st Runner Up for One in A Million contest held last year. I enjoyed the session but the fatique is catching up on me. Here are some of the sneakpeak of Esther's Music Video

Another music video that I finished shooting last week was Rubisa Tiasin from AF7. This Kota Belud girl really got the voice and I got a chance to hear some of her renditions in Japanese and Tagalog Song. It was quite amazing and I didn't know it was her. By the way this is her preview of her up coming music video with her latest single "Jangan Bilang Siapa Siapa" (Don't tell this to anyone). I am quite nervous because I saw one of the name that this video is tagged to. It was Fauzi Marzuki. I do not know what will they say about this one...

I also have few more artists scheduled to do their music video very soon. Usal Jon Gavis, Decipher (Chris Pereira), Divine Masters and Alvin Mahathir Yunus. All of them are Sabahan born artist. Kindly google their name and you'll see their work.

Anyway until then, I'll try to keep this blog updated.

KENTE 2 Heat 1

2010-02-28T00:01:00.002+08:00

I will do my part in supporting KENTE 2 (kadus Entertainment Next Top Entertainer Season 2). I really think that this is a very good idea in harvesting all the talents in Sabah especially in singing.

Here is a promo clip on the heat 1 that includes all the contestants and the results...

Enjoy

Petrus Boyd Pensin - Koupusan Koginavaan (MV Teaser)

2010-02-23T09:02:00.002+08:00

About two weeks ago, I had another music video shooting session. This time is a new artist who came out with his first single Koupusan Koginavaan. It was quite tough because that day, the temperature was quite high and it is very hot that day. I am not quite satisfied with some of my stocks(footage) but I have no choice but to get my head cracking and try to edit it the best that i can. Gave it all out and finally the final product turns out to be quite great. I love it. I took a tip from a friend of mine and watched it over and over and again. I am satisfied with it.

I can't release the full version of it yet until the artist agreed for it to be released but here's the teaser for the music video.

Review From dBOS-fm

2010-01-23T22:40:00.003+08:00

This morning, I was browsing through one of a quite well known blogger and infotainment blog by dBOS-fm. Nobody actually knows who is this person or maybe it was just me who did not know who is this person. I was listening to some of the songs that this person posted. Majority of the songs posted are from Sabah's very own artist. So i saw a link on Andalusia's review. Few days ago I was trying to find whether there is any review on Episode 22. But I just could find it. Was too lazy to search through the archive. But for some reason, it must have been my luck that I manage to find the link. So i clicked on it and I found out that dBOS has actually seen Andalusia's latest MV. This person made a review on this and I am quite honored and also happy because coming this person, I actually can see that his or her previous reviews on other songs or artists were unbiased. It is from his or her own opinion. Here is the statement that he or she made in the blog:-

"Kualiti rakaman lagu ni pun kelas juga, terutama part korus. Yupp..I've seen their music video for this song. As far as the video quality image is concerned, I've to admit it's the most impressive Sabahan's music video so far. Big applause to the director Mr. Jason Jack Bullah." extracted from (http://dbos-fm.blogspot.com/2010/01/andalusia-episode-22.html)

Thank you for the review dBOS, will keep on trying to improve on the music video production here in Sabah. Thank you...

Andalusia - Episode 22

2010-01-17T16:46:00.003+08:00

Finally the long awaited Andalusia - Episode 22 MV has been released and OTV from the O88fm website has the exclusive rights to reveal it for the first time for public viewing. Here is the official Music Video of Andalusia - Episode 22.

Two weddings back to back.

2010-01-06T11:06:00.004+08:00

In November 2009, I did two weddings for two lovely couple. What inspire me most is the love that they have for each other. Ronny and Alzey are two people that grew up in a separate place. One in Tambunan and the other one in Penampang. (Kinda remind me the story of my wife and I). I like the idea of two people who have no idea of what the future looks like for them are united through God's will. Therefore I selected a theme for them (LOVE WAS MADE FOR US). Indeed love has already been written in God's will for everyone in this world. Here is the Wedding Trailer for Ronny and Alzey

Remember Wilfred and Claire? They are the first client who dares to engage me as their videographer and produce a Pre Wedding MV. It was a day after Ronny and Alzey. Indeed it was very tiring and that is why in the title I said two weddings back to back. It's back at my hometown and that time the photographer were Alvin Dusity and Faustine. So here I present to you Wilfred and Claire Wedding Trailer (Better today)

Tampasak Production in Bandwidth Street Magazine (Dec 2009 issue)

2009-12-27T23:27:00.003+08:00

It's almost the end of the year 2009 and many things had happen to me. I am proud to say that I manage to find gather my guts and took up the challenge to be in videographer industry. I love it so much and my hope is that next year there will be something great happen. I love music so much and I finally I found a place where I can pour my heart and soul into my own work and masterpiece.

This month, I manage to do the MV for Andalusia Episode 22. I was really surprise to see that I got to see my face, my name and my production house name in the Bandwidth Street Magazine. It is an entertainment magazine for the Local Sabahan's Act. It is a good magazine (I am not saying this cuz they put me in the magazine..heheheh) It is actually a good platform or another form of advertisement for the local acts to showcase of what they can do. Sabah is filled with talented people and I am proud to be a Sabahan.

So here is the cover of the magazine for this Dec 2009 issue. Grab a copy if it is still available.

The year 2009 has been quite a journey for me. Next year I have 2 potential Sabahan Artist to make their MV and 1 band from West Malaysia. Will reveal the details once it is materialized. I'm really looking forward for it.

Andalusia - Episode 22

2009-12-10T23:14:00.002+08:00

Yerp..u saw the title. Their Music Video is in progress now. It was really great and I did get a clearance from the Pengurus Besar in Jabatan Keretapi Negeri to shoot the music video there. So happy that they didn't say no to me. Will always remember their kind assistance in making into reality.

Here is the sneakpeek of the clip just to give u some ideas of how their Music Video looks like.

Anyway for the rest of the video, you guys have to wait...Till then....

Acknowledgement from a friend of mine.

2009-11-04T21:08:00.003+08:00

It was quite an honor to actually hear someone praising your work and best of all from someone who knows so much about camera works and ground work at shooting set. I am truly honored with that acknowledgement. I guess that will be the cue for me to work even harder on my production.

One thing that is really important for me is reading. I had so much to catch up and learning in using new system and I am sensing and have a very strong feeling that I will be dealing with another different types of equipment and it will be another different level all together. However for me, the final outcome is very much important and I will make sure that will be my strong point.

By the way, yesterday I've attended KENTE Season 2 preliminary brainstorming session. Among those who've attended that session were Mr. Mark, Mr. Carlix, Mr. George, Mr. Jason Jay, another guy whom I forgot what's his name was and myself. It was a fruitful one and I am looking forward of commercializing KE and I can say this "IT'S ABOUT TIME MARK!" hehehhehe

p/s: currently doing some post production for Mr. Usal Jon Gavis. Can't wait for this to finish.

Wilfred and Claire - Forever in my life (Pre Wedding MV)

2009-09-29T02:07:00.003+08:00

I think it's been a while since my last posting. I just finish the offline post production of the Pre Wedding MV for Mr. Wilfred Kaibal and Claire Michael. It has been great and I am quite satisfied with this work. So for you folks out there, I would like to present to you, Mr. Kaibal and Ms. Claire's Pre Wedding MV.

Photo shoot clips

2009-09-03T21:49:00.007+08:00

I do not know what came over me that time that I suddenly had this imagination of how will it turn out if I do a coverage on photo shoot session. I often saw clips on tv and i really liked it. After seeing so many DSLR enthusiast posting up their end product in FB, I start telling myself maybe it would be nice if I did a video clip on photo shoot session.

So I asked permission from my friend (GOGDS PHOTOGRAPHY) if I can tag along to do a video shoot. He said it would be a great idea and I could take this opportunity to add into my collections of what I am capable of doing to show to my client next time.

So on the 1st photo shoot session, I was with George and Mailson. Mailson brought Ms. Elevetha Wanda as the guest model for the photo shoot session. Here is the video that I have done for them.

The next one is with 3 guest models (Ms. Nancy, Ms. Emily and Ms. Jacynta) Here's the video

So far I have some good response on the clip, however, I am still trying to improve it. Anyway enjoy the videos.

Updates

2009-08-03T12:04:00.010+08:00

The Tampasak Production is officially open for business. I can't wait to get started on a new project. An artist has stepped forward and put his trust in me to produce his MTV. Will do my very best to provide an excellent production. Will show some teaser to this project once it's started.

For the past few weeks, I was called to do some live coverage for Pertisa Sugandoi 2009 which was held in Kg. Warisan Musium Sabah. From the experience that I gather, doing a live coverage and shots were not as easy as one may have thought especially when you have to do it on your own. Nevertheless, I have gained some precious experience from there.

I have here some live shots from the winner. But this is only during the heats. Will be uploading some videos pretty soon (depending on the free time I have, it's count down time for me as I am going to be a daddy soon, hehehhe.)

Last night I was doing some practice with some of the post production software. I think I did quite well..Here is the result. I made a twin of myself....it's just a 29sec clip...Enjoy

Hope you enjoy the video...See you later

Patiently waiting

2009-07-06T23:02:00.002+08:00

While seeing people posting up their images and videos on facebook, flickr, blogs etc, I am still without any latest material to show. Right now, I let my mouth do the talking, promoting and pitching. I would like to do something but it seems that my equipment are not all here yet. I am a bit desperate to come up with something and I don't know when will I be able to come up with my own material.

Is it true that you need to look at your competitors just to know what level you are at? Especially in this line of industry. I am figuring out what made me jumped into this industry? Nowadays I found so many contradictions within me. Deep inside my being, I want to do this for the sake of loving and learning more about videography and how I can come up with an inspiring videos that could touch thousands of heart that awaits for the next journey of their lifetime. But on the surface, I began noticing that I am comparing myself to others and trying to be on top of what they did and wanted to do even better. I am worried that these two feelings will collide and create a fraction that will someday brings effect to my passion in videography.

Anyway, this week will be my soul searching moment where I will try to regain and rejuvenate what I think that I have lost or slowly dying for these past few weeks.

Kotobian Tadau Tagayo Do Kaamatan

2009-05-29T10:40:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow is a big day for the Kadazandusun Murut Community. It is the celebration of Pesta Kaamatan (Harvest Festival). I am excited to see the event tomorrow in KDCA.

Last night I was with the founder of Kadus Entertainment (Mark and Davelynne...George was covering something in KDCA) together with DJ Iter of Sabahan.FM, Carlix, the winner of Sugandoi 2008 with one of the finalist for Unduk Ngadau 2009 and our very own Mr. Usal Jon Gavis. We were discussing about the Kadus Entertainment Music Festival that will be held 30th May 2009, starting from 6pm onwards at the outside stage in KDCA compound. I saw the list of artist there will be around 40 artists that will be performing. That includes all the big names in Kadus Music industry. I have the opportunity to take video for them. I have a mix feeling on this. I am happy and excited to be given the honor to do this, but also sad because for sure I dun have the stage equipment to cover different angles. Each day I dreamt about having the equipment to do great videos for whatever I am doing. I have the heart and passion to do it and sometimes when I explain to people, I felt so ashamed because when I speak I say it all out with great passion and expression, but sometimes I can't but to think whether the other party share the same feelings or sentiment as I am. Maybe I am just a little needle that got lost in wide field of grass where no one even notice. I just don't know how to convince other people and I just don't know how to show them I can do it. It is a very sad story altogether. But I just have to bear with it for a while.

Anyway, I hope I can give a good expression to all the viewer after editting it. Anyway, kotobian tadau tagayo do kamaatan to everyone.take care. Like my boss said just now after meeting. Dun have to much aramaiti....ahhahahaha..careful on the road.

Saldivianna Wences

2009-05-21T18:39:00.005+08:00

I have the privilege to become the director for Saldivianna Wences's MVs. I remembered quite well that because of her album, I decided to go into this industry that I have been keeping away my intention for so long. The funny thing is that, when I first decide to shoot for her MV, I only have my BenQ digital camera that can record video with the capacity memory of 2 Gig. hahahha...It was quite an experience. I do not have all the fancy dollies, jib, steady cam and the lots but all I have is my trusty BenQ digital camera. I know it is a joke. But I just gotta go ahead with it with what I have that time.

Here is one of the video that I shoot last year with that camera. Please be reminded that I do not have any other equipment other than my BenQ digital camera. So you can expect the output quality. So since it is Kaamatan, I am going to post this Kaamatan MV by Saldivianna Wences. Kotobian Tadau Kaamatan Toun 2009 to those who are celebrating Kaamatan

So, as you have witnessed yourself the video that I took with my BenQ Digital Camera, you can know very well that the visual quality and the audio is very low. Not to mention when I scaled it down to a smaller size which causes some drop of frame.

Anyway, please wait for my latest development and I will soon be providing you with my latest material. Till then....

Some potentially upcoming projects.

2009-05-17T17:12:00.002+08:00

It was a quite busy week for me and I don't have the time to actually do any posting. Punya main lama suda ni. But it is ok. I am determine not to let this blog to become like my other blog. Yang trus senyap sunyi. Heheheh...Anyway, talking about some of the potential upcoming projects for shooting, I have some few artist from Kota Marudu approaching me wanted to make their MV and Karaoke. I really hope I can get that project. Been wanting to create something that is very powerful and inspirational. In my view when I look at an MV, I will straight away set my target and set a benchmark on how far am I going achieve.

Other than that, I have contacted DFM and he verbally agreed that I will be his MV producer. I have another artist that I am in the midst of negotiating. It would be an honored to be able to work with her and do some magic onto her MV. Whoops..did i say "her" hehehhe...Yeah. She's a very talented female artist and I would really love to work my magic around her music. So i'll keep you guys updated.

I have some comments from two MV of my sis in law (Saldivianna Wences). I did explain about the situation when I did the shooting last year. So I didn't have much to offer but that due to lack of equipments. But suprisingly, I have some good feedbacks. Now I am more determine because I have the equipment already (although it is not a big scale film camera) but I know how to boost it up.

I have some good advice from blueprint78<<< He is very nice person and I really love all his work with MV. To me he is my SIFU....

Yesterday, I went to wisma and I bought myself with an ND filter. It is quite good when shooting outdoor especially with excessive amount of lighting from the sun. I am still waiting for one more lens (pls God, i hope it is available). That lens is for cross focus and soft focus. I hope i can get my hands on that. Will be great for the MV.

The basics of 3 point lighting

2009-04-28T16:07:00.004+08:00

I often neglected on the lighting technique used in film making. Lighting techniques are very important either in film making or photography session. Poor lighting and incorrect technique could lead to failure in giving the effect that a director wants for his or her movie.

To be honest, at times when i watched the movies especially those that were produced in Hollywood or even the Malaysian Industry or local telemovie, I am quite disappointed with the lighting. I could understand if they dun have enough money but still all this can be overcome thanks to Indymogul. The best online resource for indie movie directors.

Now, let me explain about the basics of 3 point lighting.

In 3 point lightings, there are the key light, fill light and back light. The key light is the primary source of light. It is the main actor or role in lighting. Next the fill light. Fill light is the secondary light which is placed at the opposite of the key light. Fill light should only be 50% powerful than the key light. Lastly is the backlight. Backlight is very important. It will separate the subject or the object from the background.

The positioning of the lights can be seen from the picture below:-

The Key light and the Fill light should be placed to the side's of the Camera at 15 - 45% angle.

Tips on lighting for skin tone:

Darker skin requires large soft light. It is used to lit up the features of the subject.
Lighter skin requires the same but not too large on the lighting amount. Both skin tone when shooting should avoid wearing dark clothing and background.

Vertigo Effect

2009-04-28T11:11:00.003+08:00

This vertigo effect was first used in Alfred Hitchcock movie vertigo 1958. It is also known as dolly zoom, back zoom travelling, jaws shot or contra zoom. Believe me, I have been wanting to know what sort of shot this is and finally I got to know the name of this shot. It is very effective in expressing shots that are dramatic. The diagram below shows how it's done.

Still trying to perfect this with my Sony. Hmm...i wonder who will be the victim for pulling and pushing the dolly..hehheheheh

First trial run

2009-04-26T23:42:00.002+08:00

Yesterday my wife asked me if I would like to go to see a football match final between SM La Salle, Kota Kinabalu and SM. St. Martin, Tambunan. I was excited because of the fact that my wife was an ex SMART (St. Martin) student and I was an ex La Sallian. Apart from that, it is the opportunity where I can try out my new SONY HDD HandyCam. I took the whole match with it unfortunately the battery only last for about 135 minutes.

The zoom, focus and stabilizer were great and I just loved it. I am beginning to get the hang of it. My only regrets I didn't bring along my tripod. Nevermind about that, the shots were all stable with minimal shaking. The autofocus takes about 3 seconds when I moved the camera trying to capture the movement of the ball that was kicked from one end to the other end. Overall for starter I am quite satisfied with it. I will share some of the clips here later once I have transfered it into my laptop.

I met up with Ashley Daniel Koh, my friend just now. I asked him how was his wedding photoshoot session yesterday. He said it was great. I wanted to see his work later . For those of you who are interested, you can view his blog at http://shotsbyashley.blogspot.com/. This guy is really talented.

He was asking what did I do and whether or not I am interested in photography. I told him that I am in a different field. I am more into videos. So he said "what a coincidence." In fact he told me that he was looking for someone who can do videos for weddings. I said I can. He suggested that we should work together and come up with a package. I am interested in it. I think I should go into this as well. But of course my major field of specialties will be in music video now and movie production in a long run.

Well I hope I can do it well and gotta put something here in my blog for the sample of my work..so I gotta work on the video that I took just now during the match and make it into something impressive.

My thoughts

It has been quite a while since I have done some music video shooting works. The last time I did on Saldivianna Wences. She is an artist from Tambunan who have released her album few years back. Since then, the work just stop there due to reasons such lack of equipments and insufficient budget.

However, I am trying to revive this again project again to make sure that this time around it will be finish. I will slowly find ways to DIY the equipments for shooting purpose and hopefully. I am doing this for the sake of love and wanting to express what i feel by putting my personal touch in the final production of the shooting. Of course I know there are many talented people out there and I am not competing with them. I want to learn from them so therefore in the context of competing with them, it never existed in my mind and I will not set a benchmark for competition purposes. But I am setting benchmark of my work in terms of quality and expression.

I have recently get my hand on this SONY HDR SR10.

It is not as big or as grand as you might expect. I know some people will have have this thought that says "is this guy for real? making & producing a music video by using that?"...well i just don't care. Like i said before, the very reason why I stopped shooting last time because of equipment and budget. I feel proud of myself because previously i was using only a mere BENQ digital camera with a 2 Gig memory card to shoot 5 music videos. So you can imagine how bad it was before. Now I am stepping up another level and when I have enough, I can slowly get my hands on a more serious set of equipments. It is only a matter of time as to when I will be able to get it. But right now, I just wanted to sharpen my skills and techniques also learn from the best and pros in this industry.
