因為 yīn wèi Because and 八十後 Post-80

Back at VisibleRecord again today in the afternoon. Ka yan was there too. Tammy and Augustin will be going to Sichuan tomorrow and will not be in Hong Kong for the next 12 days or so. I was giving a dvd to do the English transcript. I am actually getting a bit sick of doing English transcript, or actually, listening to foreigners talking about China. I find it much more interesting to listen to Hong Kong people who were volunteering at Habitat in Sichuan, they offer some insight on Hong Kong. Generally, the foreigners don't know much about China.

Did super boring stuff today, crossing out a line from the brochure. And I went to do the transcript. Good thing I don't come here as often now. Not really much to learn and I feel like a dupe there sometimes but the place does kind of inspire me a bit.

I thought of the project, 因為 Because today while eating with my parents. It will be a first person POV, hand held documentary of many of the protests in a year in Hong Kong. It would show a footage of the narrator or people protesting for a issue, and then show a clip of the people the protesters are fighting for, or the cause, showing the cause. For example, if I was to film footage of a protest for poverty, then I would show a poor family, or people in poverty. The image I got was for universal suffrage and show footage of children, to convey that people are protesting for the future, the children. There would be some narrative.

八十後 Post-80
八十後 Post-80 is basically a collection of answers of questions about people who are born after 1980s. It is to reflect and discover the voices of young people nowadays who are just coming out to work in the society. So they are from the age of 30-17. I want to get their views on how things are in Hong Kong, and it's more of a survey.

Back in VisibleRecord

I went back to VisibleRecord the past Tuesday and ya, more checking DVD and I was giving a disc to do transcript on. I need to do it tonight. Tammy and Augustine are going to Sichuan the coming Tuesday so they will be out and I probably will get a pile of stuff to do transcript of. I hope they put me in the credit. I didn't get a mention in the book they did. The book cover looked like it's from 60s-70s but then Tammy corrected me that it's the 40s. She's like that, she always has to be right.

Anyway, here are some ideas of video projects I can do in Hong Kong. I feel like I should put these on my idea blog but they are projects that are very possible with what I can do now, so I m going to put them here.

I was suppose to go to a protest march for families in poverty today but it was canceled because of the rain.

Anyway, after going to bookstore with AKko, i got an idea: 感覺:香港 or Feel.Hong Kong. in English. I might still have to think about the proper punctuation I would like to use but basically the project is my POV of places in Hong Kong as I walk through them or experience them. The camera would be my eyes. I kind of did that today but for Feel.Hong KOng., heretofore as FHK, but mostly wide shot. More artsy then POV. So next time going to do POV.
