Josephine at Forum: A Sneak Preview

Here's a sneak preview of forum @ silentSHOUT Short Film Festival 2011.
Josephine at Forum: A Sneak Preview

Transcription:

Josephine (actress):
(voiced by Lucy Lim)

 “The other challenge that I felt was how to translate English sentences into Sign Language. Again like I said, we didn’t want it to be in verbatim and we have a deaf linguist, Koon Wei and she was there to help me to translate many of the sentences so that it makes sense in sign language, and then we taught Walter, a FOD (friend of deaf) guy  - the main actor, and then we had a couple of full rehearsals, we had discussion, and we tried different emotions we want to be using in the film; sad, anger…...There were several attempts, but we always be positive, we enjoyed working with Margaret. And asking me to cry was very difficult; how do I become angry, how do I really throw out my emotion, I just cannot. The tears just run out, so I wondered what should I do and then that time I was lucky because,  at that time when we were filming, somebody was smoking away the Aedes environment, then I have these tears in my eyes, I was so natural and I am so happy. And I knew the crew were laughing when it happened. That was a very good experience for us and after that it went well." 

Margaret (director):

 “Something to add here, actually it was a surprise shot. When we rolled the camera, before I rolled the camera, that's my first shoot, I told Josephine "don’t blink your eyes", so she opened her eyes wide and big! And that time the government department came at the area, had this Aedes spray, so there was smoke get in the house. Well it was supposed to 'cut'! But I realized there's tears coming out (from Josephine), so I said "roll  the camera, don't stop, roll! roll! roll! for few seconds, and we got the shot and used it for the film. And actually it was a surprise during the production. Thank you Josephine.”

Invited to FINAS Documentary Festival Awards Night (11.12.2011)

Last Sunday, silentSHOUT was invited to FINAS Documentary Festival Awards Night.

Ahad lepas, silentHSOUT dijemput ke Malam Anugerah Festival Dokumentari FINAS.

上个星期日，静响受邀出席FINAS举办的纪录片电影节颁奖典礼。

Want to know what did Jessica Mak wish for the festival? Check out the clip :)

Transcript of Jessica's signing:


"Hi, my name is Jessica Mak (sign name: JC). I would like to thank silentSHOUT for inviting me to share with friends and the Deaf community about the upcoming Short Film Festival. The festival is to showcase the work of Malaysian Deaf filmmakers such as shooting a short film, getting actors to act, editing techniques and the creativity on telling stories, to show to the public. It doesn't matter what are the short films about. It is to show the Deaf person's creativity through short film and let the public watch it.


Is this a good event or not? I think it is a good event because when I was small, I never heard about Deaf films. And now, on 17th December 2011, it is going to be the fist Deaf Film Festival in Malaysia. I'm excited because it is the first time. Many Deaf people will go to the festival to watch those films.


I would like to encourage Deaf people who are interested to shoot film, doesn't matter the film is good or bad, attend the festival to share and learn from each other. It is the same for the Hearing people. If you are really interested to shoot films, it is important to continue it whether it is for hobby or wants to turn to become a profession.


After the Deaf & Hearing communities watched the films, they will understand about Deaf life. Regardless you are deaf or hearing, one can understand through film much more easier compared to reading books. This is because some deaf don't read well and some hearing don't like to read.

After watching the movies, people will share the movie with their family and friends. I hope this festival will be continued for next year and onwards. I do support and hope that whoever likes to write story and shoot film continue to do what he/she is doing and one day become success to show to the world that You Can Do It.

Thank you."

Silent Coffee, 4th

Date: 15th Oct 2011 (Saturday)

Time: 6.30 pm - 10.30 pm

Venue: 'Q' Bistro (between the Curve & Tesco)

Silent Coffee is the support group for Deaf and Hearing Filmmakers, who meet up to discuss/ brainstorm, and sometimes argue...(good argument of course). At this session, we share opinion, and help each overcome our needs as filmmaker, i.e. talent or equipments.

Everyone has stories in their heads. Sometimes friends can help to sight and motion the internal stories in our heads, and breathe better ideas of our internalised stories and animate that thoughts. And you might get hearing friends lending their ears to "sound" your story.

The public is welcome to join Silent Coffee. All you need is just buy your own teh tarik and join our discussions. =)

Everyone has a story. What's yours?

Eh, feed your brain cookies.

See, he's watching the match.....

Altogether & Work @ Silent Coffee 2nd

Date: 24th July 2011 (Sunday)

Time: 6.00 pm - 9.00 pm

Venue: A &W, Taman Jaya

We've enjoyed Root Beers at A&W, while discussing about the short film scripts!
And we have some new comers to join us! Yipee! =)

Silent Coffee-ing.

1st cuppa coffee @ Silent Coffee

Date: 10th July 2011 (Sunday)

Time: 4.00 pm - 7.00 pm

Venue: Starbucks, Bangsar Village II

Though 9th July 2011, Sat was a "cleaning" day, and yes some got worried about getting out from home, and coming to KL, and rumors spreading that to keep ourselves at home for a week..... lucky us we have had some comers for our Silent Coffee.

It was great to see our just-ended short film making workshop participants are actively joining our silentSHOUT Short Film Competition.  Kareem Koh (the workshop instructor) with the help of interpreters (i.e.Theresa) were helping to discuss with the comers and improve on their stories.

It's our 1st Silent Coffee! And to celebrate the first, the first ten comers with their short film story maps ready were treated a cuppa coffee by silentSHOUT.

Thanks to comers! We hope to see your short films! Good luck to you all.
And thanks for those who helped out.

SilentShout & Shoot ; Short Film Making Workshop

Together Deaf and Hearing wrapped and roll in silentSHOUT short film making workshop.

In June 25th – 26th, 2011, we has hosted a hands-on training workshop focusing on the introduction to the short filmmaking. The two-day workshop was held at Rukun Tetangga Brickfield, KL.  

Forty Deaf and Hearing participants were wrapped with the idea of writing, producing, directing and editing under the guidance of the professional film-maker, Kareem Koh.

silentSHOUT team wish to introduce and coach Deaf people to be film-makers and use this medium as their voice and tell their stories to the world. 

This is our first project. We believe in hands-on workshop as this will provide guidance to the learning curve. Besides learning the art and craft of film making, the Deaf and Hearing collaborate together to create story-driven short films. They worked together to brainstorm, write, direct, and edit a short film. We believe this interaction helps Deaf and Hearing understand both cultures.  

Participants work on shooting.

Interestingly, Canon is supporting silentSHOUT with cameras and technical advice throughout silentSHOUT film workshops. 

Our workshop does not stop here. We have Silent Coffee sessions for short film discussion and works in progress with workshops’ participants. We encourage them to submit their short films to our silentSHOUT Short Film Competition and Festival 2011.  

silentSHOUT is now calling all filmmakers nationwide to take part in its Short Film Making Competition 2011, from July 1st to Sept 30th 2011.

Seminar Pembuatan Filem Pendek silentSHOUT

silentSHOUT telah menganjurkan seminar pembuatan filem pendek pada 25-26Jun 2011, dan  seramai 40 orang pekak dan pendengar telah melibatkan diri dalam seminar ini.

Seminar ini diadakan di Rukun Tetangga, Brickfield. Pensyarah seminar, Kareem Koh ini ialah seorang profesional yang menceburi diri dalam bidang filem. Seminar ini memperkenalkan teknik pembuatan filem pendek kepada para peserta. Peserta telah mempelajari teknik tentang penulisan, pengambaran, pengarahan dan penyuntingan.

Mereka menghasilkan idea, menulis skrip,  menggambar, mengarah dan menyunting bersama-sama. Interaksi ini dapat mendorongkan saling faham-memahami antara satu sama lain.
