Rest Easy
It's over. The rush and week long maul over digital images, shooting, intentional footage, capturing moments of this vast and rich city, then framing them, piece-ing them into a story. I caught myself saying I could do this for a job. And this could be the beginning of some madness.
The night panned out quite well. Frustrations over sound aside, we did pretty good. The charlieboy band did good. The beginning of something new, something exciting. Something prophetic. Daylight, a song for the city.
Monday was the beginning of a new work week. Well, actually a new job. Training for 5 whole weeks. Meaning I will miss hillsong conference. Which, part of me still wants to go so bad. I think the roadtrip is what does it for me. Work is work, I guess. Took two days sickie in a row. Doesn't look good. But at least I got some certification for that. Soi it should cover me legally. In which case, I am quite sick. The brain drain for the past week left my body quite in trauma and falling ill is just one method of regeneration. To rest easy. Sleep my bugs away. You know, it's the feeling of post exam stress.
Part of me don't want to turn up tomorrow for work. But that's just plain lazy. I know I am. I wish I was back last week again. What a druggie I am. I am a sucker for media. I still remember the first time I touched the analogue editing machine and had so much fun editing our seemingly cheap karaoke water and wine music video shot above some multi-storey carpark with building constructions as the backdrop. We were dressed in white shirts and jeans. We looked like wannabes. But it felt powerful. To be able to direct a vision I had in mind and putting them out visually was indeed satisfying. To work within constraints and create a plot with a storyline was challenging. Zak said it's because I am constantly pushing my boundaries. I agree. Cos I can make iMovie look so good you'd regret investing in Final Cut. Ok, that's probably exaggerating. But less is more, you'd agree?
8 years on and God is still faithful. Had an opportunity to reflect with a sister today and discovering how similar our thought patterns and faith level is. Funny how God crosses our paths. As Jin would say, the battle is about to begin. Gotta go sharpen the sword with Dad.
