"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Passion Project

I always strive to do my best whenever I am called to do a job; be it a student film, an independent film, commercial film, big or small budget ones, as long as it is me on set, I do my best. Some people say that we are worth our price, and more than the price, we are worth our name. If I like the project, I may commit to it despite the low pay. There is a time for lots of things in life and giving back by working on a few "passion" project in a year is my way of returning to the filmmaker's community in Singapore. Such production provide me with a platform to continue in the mentoring of my two assistants, who are full-fledged location sound recordists in the own right. It also allows me to network with people who are not necessary in our industry but are taking time out to help a friend. There are also people who are in the industry who works full-time for a production house, but is there to help their friend as well. Another group are students who volunteered to be a part of a dynamic production team. I have gained so much from the interaction with people while lending my expertise in location sound recording. In my continuing quest to be the best sound recordist I can be through my professional work, I will never forget the journey that brought me there and till today, I still try to find time to do them. When they call me, it is my work that defines me. May my passion for what I love to do be displayed in my work, my walk and my talk.
