Pravin Saivi 'Choices' MV Shoot

Hi All! I was involved in a MV shoot for popular local Singer Pravin Saivi's 'Choices', production done by Blk A Pictures.

Pravin Saivi made his singing debut in a tamil variety programme. (Theem Thaka Theem) He finished second in the national Indian talentime Thenkural 2002. He was then nominated in the 'Best Male Singer Award' category in the 2004, 2005 & 2007 Predana Awards.

More about Saivi here

The song is a well mix of tamil and english lyrics, which tells the choices we all have in life. Not too sure of the detail though, but I do find the chorus pretty fluent and easy to remember. Well folks watch out for Pravin as his launch concert will be on 15 Nov 08!

Back to the shoot of the MV, there is a little story within it. I'm not too sure of the entire storyline but I'm acting as a best friend of the main character, the groom. Apparently the Groom, played by Justin Kan, will be getting married the next day and we are at the bechelor's night, together with another best friend, played by Bang (thats his name, Bang). And there is a drunkard (played by Roy) in the same bar we were hanging out, who sort of created a scene after the waitress accidentally spilled some drinks onto him. I went ahead to gave him a punch haha! There were some nice penning of camera too! Well, look forward to the MV!

It was a pretty fresh experience for me. I had done MV shooting before at Focus but not with a punching scene. Woo!! I didn't know acting in a punching scene can feel so good! Nah~ We did NG quite a couple of times and I was really worried that I might really hurt someone. Thank god we made it after about the 8th or 9th take and no one was hurt. 

Picture time!

The most tiring person has to be the cameramen. I like this picture. Very natural.

Lawrence, our director. Do we look alike?

Highlight of the evening, Me in Lipgloss! Beware!

The makeup artist insisted on putting that. I'm sorry if I made you freaked out,

The rest of the photos can be found on photo albums. I'm gonna take my rest tonight as tomorrow is yet another project from Esplanade. Dans. Festival is really draining me out!

I shall upload one covered song on the next post. So stay tuned!

Oh! last but not least, bumped into Qiaohui last night on a bus. Man she cut short hair! And she looks pretty in it! Too bad I only managed to take one clear picture as she's alighting and the bus was sooo shaky. Will Singapore bus drivers please drive with care? There are a couple of times I've almost fell down myself. I'm young, but what if an old man/old lady was in my shoes? she could have fell and hurt themselves!

For Qiaohui. Miss you all Focusis!
