This is our batch's montage for the semester, meant originally to be screened at Archifest Ajar 2009 in March. However back then the video met with terrible technical difficulties, in which we regret the most. The video successfully premiered at Archidinner: Fusion 2009 in April, much to our relief.
The idea is simple, as 'ajar ' (teach) was the theme for Archifest this semester, I tried to bring everybody back to the beginning, the foundation, to who had taught us in the first place, in our very first moments encountering life. Parents still play a large role in our lives, whether we like it or not, and I tried to place their undeniable presence here in the video.
For everything else, this is our life as architectural students here in Perak. Just a tiny bit of it, though. Yes that's our workplace, our studio, our life. Yes that's Seri Iskandar: the weather, the roads, the houses, the people. We have to handle every piece of it, while facing the other challenges in life: family, friends, relationships, money. But then again I'm trying to not go too far so that everybody other than our realm can identify themselves with the video too.
I personally didn't expect people to cry, while some other went to the extent of wanting to call their parents, and wanting to go home immediately. What I intended was just this: just love your parents. Who ever they are, where ever they are.
For Ayah, Happy Birthday. For Mama, Happy Mother's Day. For everybody else, enjoy.
Posted in Seri Iskandar. Thumbs up for Jawa, Comet and Kamil's acting, with the assistance of KP, Peteh, Cemara and the studio people. Many thanks to Syith for the effects and assisting me in editing, and for everybody who supported us, thank you so much! And it has been a year since our dear sister left us, may she dwell amongst the souls of the faithful. Al-Fatihah. Most songs are from Kaki King, while the opening is from Peter, Bjork & John -- Young Folks, while the ending is Butterfinger's Mati Hidup Kembali from their latest album Kembali.
