Tag, You’re It! – Eugene Lee Yang

It’s been awhile since my initial attempt at this “Tag, You’re It!” blog series. Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve really BLOGGED about anything, cuz’ well, it’s been crazy busy. Ack, my apologies.

Onto the victim! J/k. Eugene Lee Yang! I’ve blogged about him before and I’ll definitely blog about him again! So who is he? Well, he’s an amazingly young and talented visionary director friend of mine. Truly, truly gifted!

I met Eugene after an audition a little over a year ago. He was standing around the lobby taking a break from his casting session. A mutual friend of ours, producer Melissa Lee, introduced us. Next thing you know we’re joking about how cute of a couple we’d make (oh, Eugene… if only you liked me that way~ lol). And well, I didn’t book that other audition… but I ended up making a new friend AND going on to work on a few of his projects! Right place, right time!

So I’ve had the privilege of working with Eugene three times now. First time on a beautiful short called “Ma Cite, Mon Cite.” Second time on “The Art of Fame,” the LG Fame Us! Grand Prize Winner. And most recently on a Marina and the Diamonds spec video, “I Am Not A Princess”… probably the most epic fan video ever made. Gosh, Eugene… you never cease to amaze!

Yup, ELY’s gonna blow up FOR SURE. He’s freakin’ amazing. He can do EVERYTHING. For example, for “The Art of Fame,” he didn’t even have a crew. He produced, shot, directed, edited, and even choreographed it by himself! Freakin’ ridiculous. I really can’t wait to see what’s in store for him!

Official Bio:
Eugene Lee Yang is a narrative filmmaker who received his BA in Cinematic Arts Production from the University of Southern California in 2008. During his studies he wrote and directed six short films focusing on stories that explored a vast array of social and political issues, including mental health care, gay marriage, and school shootings. He is currently directing independent music videos and writing his first feature length screenplay. Yang was born in Pflugerville, Texas, and considers Paris, France a second home. He is endlessly inspired by the remarkable diversity of Los Angeles. More than anything, he is excited to embark upon his career in film and looks forward to the unique projects and people he hopes to work with.

“LOST” x “Mind Heist”

So I’m kinda obsessed with Zack Hemsey’s “Mind Heist” right now… and I happened to find this pretty epic unofficial “LOST” trailer that was cut to the cue. Gave me chills… maybe even more so than the Inception trailer! I def gotta see the last season of “LOST” now…

solyentbrak1‘s got some editing skills!

This trailer gives me chills.

The music, the music! ~~Hans Zimmer~~! *edit* ZACK HEMSEY!!! And wow, the visuals are pretty crazy. Definitely looking forward to seeing this. Christopher Nolan… Leonardo DiCaprio… and Ken Watanabe’s supposed to be in this, too! Can’t wait.

Note about edit (6/11/10): So after thinking the music in this trailer was composed by Hans Zimmer, I started thinking “OMG, Hans Zimmer is THE MAN”… so I tweeted that I was winding down to some of his music… then I just found out that this whole time I was praising the wrong person. Doh. My composer friends who don’t like Hans will probably have a kick out of this one. I should’ve done my homework first. Zack Hemsey, if you’re reading this… you freakin’ rock.

My First Concert Ever

Was LXD x GLEE Live in Concert at the Gibson Amphitheatre last Friday night… and it was awesome.

Ok, I’m not a REAL Gleek, cuz’… I’d never watched a full episode of GLEE until the day of the concert. I decided I should probably get familiar with the show… so thank God for Hulu, I was able to watch 2 episodes before the show!

And yes, this was my FIRST real concert EVER. I mean, I’ve been to tons of live music events or intimate shows at small venues or even Kollaboration at the Orpheum, but this was my first large scale mainstream concert… and wow, I must go to more!!! I know, I know. I’m a late bloomer… and maybe just not that trendy…

*Drool*… LXD was sick. Can’t wait to see the webisodes…

The live GLEE numbers were amazing. I wish we were sitting closer:

Anyway, good times with good peeps. Mucho thanks to Solomon and Jill :]

It was also cool seeing Harry Shum, Jr. in action after meeting him at the LA Asian Pacific Film Fest! Omg, he can DANCE. I think I have a crush now… puahaha ;P

Wong Fu Productions x David Choi’s “That Girl”

This is a sweet video and it really shows how the Wong Fu guys have matured as music video makers. I’ve seen a handful of their past MVs and well, this one is just at another level. Beautifully done. And David Choi, you make me wanna cry and smile all at the same time.

You can support David by buying this single or his new album “By My Side” from iTunes or his online store.

Far East Futura

This is so sick. When I first saw it on the Interpretations site, I was like, “OH SNAP.” It’s a slick vid featuring Far East Movement, produced by Anson Ho and Christina Hoang, with cinematography by Ray Huang, cuts by Greg Louie, graphics by Jonathan Winbush, and directed by Evan Jackson Leong who I spotlighted recently.

And just fyi, this is NOT an entry in the Interpretations contest. Just an example of what you can do with a simple script. So if you’re inspired… get your camera, some peeps, and make your interpration! For more info, check out: interpretationsfilm.com
