NOKIA N8 SCRIPT COMPETITION - Gener8

yes, i've wrote some script for Nokia N8 - Gener8 script competition. its quite a surprise for me, coz i never thought that i'll cut into the final 8. It start with a sunny (yet cloudy) sunday. Im all alone in my home, watching television, until suddenly i change my channel randomly into MetroTV's Showbuzz. Yes, when im heard Joko Anwar's name, all of sudden i like, zap! Is he making a new flick? Yes indeed, he made a short movie for the latest Nokia N series, starring Fahri Albar and Marsha Timothy (his fave couple, period?). But when i heard that they'll make a contest out of it, i was like, pow! Here's my chance to do something out my regular activity (going to college, taking the class, dating, eating, farting?!). So, within 2 days, i plotting the frame, and do the writing. but, the silly thing is, when they told us to write a scene at least 1 minutes more or less (that showed by how many pages that had been written), i've made a 14 minutes long.

The first script (the long one), is written based on an alternate reality that our character had been through. you see, im not making an ending, im putting too many weird twist, which is my cup of tea. The second script is made when im told to cut of many scene. yes, im cutting it into 4 pages long (which is equal 4 minutes) but hey!! its still too long. So i've made it based on one features that attarct me the most, the music side of it. The OVI Music.

So, my final ending doesn't reflect my first intention (which is horrifiyingly too long), but its still gonna be my baby, and its the first time i jumped into so called, movie production. Though its just take a few hour to take my so called scene, but the producing experience with Joko Anwar and team just gives me a lil insight about the industry that i've been loving for. The movie making industry, a harsh, hard world. Well, i didn't make it as the winner, but when you can see your dream shaping its form, damn! That's the best thing that ever happen to me (and of course, the magnifique Nokia N8. Gosh it take sharp pictures, and im still amazed! At least for now.).

So, would you like to make movies with me? (not the 'video mirip artis' kind, a real cinematique one. teehee)

shriek..

Perpetuating the live
of a very important insignificant
proposing to eliminate
the tendecy of dreaming

are we really living here
where all of the graveyards risen
subdue to the infinite
deus ex machina, evoking the thrill

cultivate the light
embracing the fright
aren't we laughing to
the life that were shrinking on

Pardon...

Dear All

i won't erase any of my negative post about my life, my family, my past colleague, my friends, my point of view, and probably you. i won't regret to what that had been written here. i know im not as stable as many others. But i must admit, some of you have just witnessing someone's milestone, someone's fears and hopes. You've just read me, here.

so pardon me if its gonna leave a bitter after-read, but i can assure you, this life is never been sweeter without a pinch of misery and a handfull of positivity (with a ton of mysteries and possibilities).

Sincerely,
J.G. Pratama

... (happy)

i don't know what to say, i've passing this pass whole year, trying to redeem my own happiness, insecurity, while slowly transform my self into a responsible, nurturing character that i've been longing for.

One sentence to describe it, is 'loose it, so you won't lose a bit'.

My heart is full as a concrete, but my mind is always half glassed to fill'in. So i can easily move forward, be happy.

And ever since this year, my life is just getting stranger

and stronger

and happier

and more nutty

and full

and yes, finally i can absorb & understand what happiness is..

Dear Blog

Yes, it need courage behind it. Tidak bisa kita hanya menumpahkan segala hal apabila tidak ada emosi dibaliknya, dan juga tidak berarti hanya gumpalan emosi di dalamnya. Perasaan bisa dibagi, tapi tidak bisa sekedar dimengerti.

Mulai berfikir mau menulis apa? Mungkin memang sekarang tidak ada cerita, atau memang partikel otak kita sudah mulai merana, sekarat karena terlalu diasah.

So dear blog, i'll write on you someday. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow. But simply a milestone a head. Wait for me, cause there's nothing more greatfull than a very long engagement.

Sincerely
J.G. Pratama

Let Me Write
Let Me Crop The Night
Hide, Hide, Hide
The Moon still Nigh

Curiosity tangled
Capitulating at sight
Choose, choose, choose
the mother goose dies

Wake me up
wake me up
it still gives fright
to lose its right

* is this just a writer's block, or im just too lazy to knock.. knock.. knock.. (who's there)

ウサビッチ Daisuki!

Its been almost a whole year i knew this quirky silly animated character duet, and my first encounter is set when i willingly gives up my 1.30 min to be entertain in any random time. This series of animated short films was produced for MTV Japan by Kanaban Graphics since 2006.

And now, meet Putin and Kirenenko. One word to describe this under 2 minutes short ani-sode is 'ADOREBLE'! In the same vein with Mondo's Happy Tree Friends, Usavich is a more decent yet funny animation with some funny sound effect, background music, and of course, the unbearably funny gesture from it's cast. If you're wondering, why Usavich? Usavich (ウサビッチ?) is from Japanese うさぎ "usagi", rabbit, with "vich" giving it faux Russian flavor. That's why we found a lot Russian's name and also a lil bit bout their habit (like when Putin do the kazachok dance, even when he's sleeping)

Nuff said bout this silly animation that've been made into 3 seperate seasons. Just enjoy Kirenenko, Putin, Leningard, etc, and let them reminds u that even we're living in this mad-mad world, there are still another crazy-crazy creatures, like this Usavich, to entertain you.. Enjoy!
