Entry No. 3

Hello, this is Yanjun.

Well, today we did not have any formal lesson but we went for a talk by one of our alumni who graduated 10 years ago. He is Victric Thng, currently a film-maker who mostly concentrates on short films. We watched quite a number of his works but most of it are quite depressing. There is one film entitled The Mole which captured our attention. According to Victric, he wanted to change his style by making a happy film. However, he thought that it would not work well. It is the most expensive film that he ever produced.

Zhi Yong thinks that The Mole is hilarious at first, but the ending is still a depressing one. Shaun feels that the animation in The Mole is quite well done, and he is impressed by quality of the film despite it is shot in one day. However, three of us still could not understand the short film, Closer Apart. After the whole talk, we discussed about the other films that we have watched.
