IFVA Silver Award Winner (Animation)

Sunday Awards Night Recap:

Again, another great night at the Agnes B. Cinema back at Arts Centre. Me and my mum were there early and we went up to the cafe to chill out for a while, we had a salad and a bowl of soup.

A lot of people were there but I don't know anyone, so I just do what I do best, just talk silly and making fun of stuff.....emm..I should fast forward.

The judges were commenting on this year's entry in the animation category and they were very impressed with the quality and its very hard for them to make decisions. I was listening to all those comments with my full concentration.

And the silver award goes to ......"These two films belong to the same director actually...." the judge was announcing....I know that's me...I was relieved.....no more gold for me but silver is still gd....oh! I am still out of a job.....that's it....no more guessing

(a lot of crap gone through my head at that moment and then my mind went blank for a few micro seconds)

The crowd was clapping...so I stand up and walk towards the stage. I shake the judge's hands and receive my trophy. The judge said he looks forward to see my future works.

I did prepare my thankyou speech...and here's how it goes:
"Sukki from Sukki's Story is here with us tonight, ladies and gentleman...my mum!!" Mum stand up and the crowd claps. That was GOLD!! I don't know anything like this will ever happen again, hopefully it will. I continue. " If she didn't hurt her back and scan all those photos, I would never have such inspiration to create these two shortfilms. So I thankyou!

And continue, I thanks Rob, Jacinta and Helen for their work
on my films.

One funny thing was, I didn't know that I get two trophys...so I had my usualy clumpsy moments as usual. By the way, I also win $30K prize money, I will allocate that for my next project, so I don't have to work for nothing again. But still, I want to buy myself something nice as a treat.....not sure what yet.

mum really wants to take a pic with Tony...haha!

There will be some additional screenings of all the IFVA winner's work at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, for further details, please check: http://www.hkiff.org.hk/chi/programme/content.php?se_id=88

Looking forward to see you all there!!

~the screening day~

The screening went really well, it was full house and the audience were very positive towards the films. I heard some weeping while the films were playing and meaning that my films have again succeeded in touching people's hearts. I am very pleased with the respond.

The post screening discussion forum was very constructive too. A lot of questions were asked and I think I performed pretty well responding to those questions~

Juror's comment:
" We all have our own stories Living in the Dark and Sukki's Story are autobiographical works of the same creator. The simple and stylized frames work well with the personal and sentimental content and it is touching. Rotoscoping is a method of hand drawn animation original meant as an aid in study drawing and movement. It is done by capturing the targets on film and then analyses them frame by frame. Some animations turn this exercise into creation by turning the film into stylized animation. Both animations are done in the roto method. The drawing in Sukki's Story is more mature and richer than Living in the Dark, it also boasts some original morphing and is visually more pleasing, but Living in the Dark is better in the storytelling, voiceover and the monologue. A Living in the Dark remake would benefit from the creator's improved skills. " Wong Ying

Award Winners would be announced on the 25th March (this coming Sunday) at the awards ceremony, I will keep you posted! I am really excited and looking forward to it!!

Sukki's Story's screening - After the fact

Fantastic day I 've had!!

I have been feeling nervous about this day for quite a long time, never watched the film in a cinema environment with my friends and family and hundreds of other audiences in my home country~

It was good!! Couldn't be better!

Catchup with a lot of pepole that I haven't catchup in ages, Kitty, Clement's Mum, Noelle, Alex, Siu Wo, Andy, Luigi, Sergio, Auntie, Teresa, Judy and Anson.....etc.

It's like me having a party at the coolest venue possible - a cinema with Digital Surround sound....

I actually felt like I was going to the Parent's day back at my school days...nervous, but always hoping my teacher will say some good words about me....and its always nervous to get to see classmate's parents.

I guess I am more mature now.....looking forward to Spain!

please stayed tune in this blog as I will be reporting my trip through this blog~

cheers
