Yesterday was such a great day to sleep in, the weather was cold and it was such a perfect day to just snuck into bed and hide below the covers. Great for dreaming too. Quent asked me to write down a blog post on the dreams we had for Photog club, rather atrocious but I wouldn't say impossible to do-
1. The Qing Shi Huang Plan.
I bet most of you would have heard this before. It has been said for almost three generations... Eating up biz club as our subsidiary, then the College Pub, then the Film Soc, and then we would be called "Photography > MJC Group of CCAs".
Pretty crazy huh? But well, at least we are now the most profitable CCA in the whole of MJC.
2. The Photog Blk plan (read the archives for this one)
This is nearly impossible, but it is fact that we do need a BIGGER ROOM! We can't always use the study room for our shoots and it is highly irritating to keep setting up and taking down our studio equipment! The club room almost looks like a JUNK YARD! We need an exhibition space, as well! Gah!
3. 2009 CCA Open House publicity stunt
Haha, this one is interesting. Quent and I got so excited chatting about this, though we're pretty sure Mr Tng will stone us to death if we ever dared try to pull a stunt like this.
Isn't it very demeaning to be always cooped up in that dark corner of the study room taking studio shots, even for the school open house? Personally, I thought that was the WORSE place for a studio because no one ever bothers to walk into a classroom that's dark, and where they can't really see what we are doing. If they looked into the door, they would most probably only see a few kiddies working behind a computer and a couple of printers, nothing more.
The DBS commercial gave me an idea. Why do we have to set up our studio in the study room? Why not in the middle of a field, or a parade square? The area that no person would ever thought of setting up a studio, yet prominent with high human traffic? We can just grab a backdrop, set up in the field, boom some music, get some pretty cute models (you know, maybe members of the alumni or the J2s could help =P) and a really cool photographer (when I mean cool, please dont wear that apek grey club T) taking photos of the model? We'll put up our lights and reflectors (good idea to get some for a sunny day) and make it look like a really professional and fun fashion shoot? People can just admire us working. Ahhhh....
Then, after all that pose pose thing is done, we can have another crazy session... Which the few of us were admiring during Studio Days, definitely considered a felony in Mr Tng's eyes... The Jingapore shot on Clubsnap-
Except we will still do this on the field (hey, switch on the sprinklers and the coke will be gone) but I hope no one complains about a sticky synthetic field... yeah and then the kids will most probably think we're crazy (to which I'm actually quite convinced we are already, once you pass your J2 stage from all that mugging) but people will sign up anyway because we are the coolest and bestest photography club in the WHOLE OF SINGAPORE. Yeah!
Don't stop dreaming, guys!
PHOTOG!
