Being a Druid


On February 18, Toshi, Kinglok and I were asked to participate in Julia's video production for her class. Anyway, we had no idea about the story but this was just one scene of many. Anyway, we took turns auditioning for the role of the head druid. I got that part. There were about 4 other druids all local students. We come out in a haze of fog (courtesy of a smoke machine) and then gather around a light. I would chant while sprinkling rice as some sort of ritual while everyone else world raise their candles. The main character (guy on left) would sneeze, interrupting us, and then we would slowly move in a hostile manner towards him...end of scene

Being a Mad Scientist


Once again Julia called me to work on another of her video. She also got Udachi and Chang Ki to come. This time the scene is at a laboratory. We are all scientists conducting human experiments, involving the mind. The story is that our test subject is dying and we are trying to prevent that from happening. We burst out into a room and hold down the test subject who is having seizures. We fail and At the end, the head scientist, Udachi, says "next subject" and then the scene ends. In the photo, we are eating lunch courtesy of Julia's team.
