The Last Chocolate - The First Taste
Recently, I attended a one-take workshop (doing a movie in one single take) conducted by Song Il-gon. As part of the workshop, we were supposed to come up with our own short script and shoot a one-take movie. This I did, but not without much difficulty, uncertainty and 'dammit, I hate Korean weather'-ility.
Here are some of the pictures taken from behind the scenes of 'The Last Chocolate.'
The skirt and the shirt: My actors, Na Young (left) and Yu. I had written the script in English, but they had difficulty memorising it, so I changed it to Korean. Well, I decided to change it to Korean; they changed it themselves. It worked out alright in the end.
Look, no hands: Telling my actors how I want it to happen. Next to me is Park Chan, my cameraman. He works at JIFA, and has been quite helpful to all of us from time to time. In this case, it's the first time when I'm not working as a dedicated camera operator. It feels a little strange.
When in doubt: look back at the script.
Park it here: Telling Chan shi how I want what to be recorded.
Letting go: finally letting all of them get on with it.
All in all, it went well. Considering that I changed a lot of things right up to the last minute (minor details to the script, the location, etc), things went well. I wanted to do another take, but it was already dark, so I wasn't too happy with the final footage. Having said that, it was only for a workshop, and I'll do it later when I have more time to develop everything.

To Temme: I take lots and lots of pictures everywhere I go. But I don't put up all of them. :> And for this one, my coordinator was taking the pictures for me, since I was actually directing the movie.
To Yaya: The genius, the intelligence, the pioneer part? :> As for the camera, it's a cool camera cos I keep it in the fridge. Ho hum.
I told you once that I bought a digital camera. The Panasonic Lumix FZ7. I can even give you the exact date and time if you want... :>
