I think most of the directors or producers would probably agree with me on this: Kid actors are the hardest of all to direct! It doesn’t matter if they are professional or not, or how talented they are. They would still throw their tantrum whenever they like on location and they would cry on just one harsh word towards them.
I don’t know if it is because they were born in this generation that they could only be tampered as they brought up by their parents that way and can’t bear with pressure at all. I just know that when I was a kid, I won’t dare to misbehave at my home not alone on public places where everyone could see me. There are a lot of excellent kid actors or actresses in my generation and I can’t help but mourning for this generation today when I was trying my best to keep my temper in check while shooting a commercial starring a “monster kid”.
I won’t normally come up with idea involving kids, cos’ I know I can’t handle them well, just that this promo is about kid soccer and I really got no choice. At the end, I was happy to watch the footages I got in post pro, so, it’s all good.

Last month I was trying to find a free online chat service provider for my e-commerce store, after a bit of a research, I found on company called “zazachat”. Then I asked their staff if their service is totally free, they said “of course”. Without further hesitation, I installed their software and my computer as well as my website. From then on, everything worked fine…until today! I can’t loggin to the admin panel and their system kept prompt me to upgrade to a paid version. I am sure $24.99 for a month is not a large sum of money, but since I’m still working on the SEO of my store, I just want to make sure I have sales to cover the expenses before I paid for anything. This is a good lesson though, nothing is free and you just have to make sure you have enough money to invest on customer services before you start a business…

I am a producer and one of my best friends j is a musician and we always talk about open up a studio and work together…dreaming about getting famous producing independent films with original underscores…even start a channel on Youtube and start getting subscriber and of course, me and him both have our daily jobs to work on and our production house stays a dream and daily cell conversation but nothing more.
Until one of his christian friend died a week ago. We start discussing about developing a semi documentary film based on her blog contents. We were just deeply moved by her blog posts about her last journey in this world, filled with reflections and insights on life that were just so rare for 20 something girl. After getting consent by her parents and friends, this time, I think we would really start doing something about our dream!
