All in 1 year...
JF#1 was the 1st official product and at its conclusion, Low Angle Productions was born! I swear to you, everytime I decide to watch JF#1 again, I laugh to see how bad we were back then. None of us could act, our reactions were off, and there were so many things we couldn't do!
And then we met Michelle, which I swear was an honest case of mistaken identity. An ex-colleague of mine once introduced another girl whose name is Michelle, and when Moses said "Michelle is a TKD representative for Malaysia", I was delighted! So I arranged to meet 'Michelle' again, only to find out that we've never actually met! Hilarious! Nevertheless, she joined us in our training, and OMG we're having so much fun!
Then through Choon, we met the bomb TnT. Teresa and Terry(sa) are a couple, and Teresa runs the Living Arts Studio which was once based in Sunway. The studio has moved to a better location now. LAP would like to thank Teresa for her support of the group by lending us the space to train.
We went Test Fight after Test Fight to improve our screen fighting skills and choreography. We even made a video in Halong Bay, Vietnam! The setting didn't turn out quite what we expected it to be, but the end result was satisfactory nevertheless!

We also got into an international collaboration when Max and Constantine from Germany paid us a visit! Wanna see some interracial action going on? (Well Max is actually Chinese, but he's brought up in Berlin, so I guess there's no interracial action after all :P) Check out the hardcore one-on-one action here. We're still waiting for the full video... Max?

How about some live shows huh? You like live shows? We got a live show done right here.

It's quite hard to imagine how much we've done over the year. Looking back, no one will disagree when I say they were great times! You know what's even more exciting? There are many more great years ahead of us and we will be leaving our mark! Here's to a great team, and a great year ahead!

Happy birthday, Low Angle Productions! You are 1 year old.

Stop Looking at my ....
Hi Guys,
It's been a while, for the past few weeks we have been busy training and with Hong's and Garry's live show, and helping out with Living Art's Dance Carnival.
So we finally went back to our roots and started another short choreography.
Our location shoot was in the Taman Tun Dr. Ismail Park. Choreo, Director, Camera man is Hong and Action performers are Adrian, Garry and William.
We drew some attention and got distracted a bit (shapely passer-by). But I think the video speaks for itself.
Feel free to comment. We're back baby!!..
Cheers,
William Foong

Malaysian Dance Carnival
The next day was the dance competition for teens 10 to 17 years old. There was pole dancing showcase too, in which I heard 'someone' shot a vid of it from a low angle! I don't have the vid with me either, so all those will be in the next entry if I get my hands on them for you! *droolz*
Terry of Laprod also gave a showcase of Capoeira, solo! Check it out!
Sometimes I get so jealous of him, I hope his face finds the ground hard when he's doing his thing...

Fashion Week @ 1 Utama! part 2
And so, Sunday night was the rehearsal for the fashion show on Monday night. We got there on time, but being Malaysians, we expected the rehearsals to begin late, and to end late as well, nothing uncommon about that. We did our 1st rehearsal of the piece which we choreographed, only to be told that it's too long for the show. We were asked to choreograph a 3 minutes piece, and eventually we cut it down to 1/2 minute!
And so, we went through the 1st rehearsal of our 1/2 minute piece with our jackets on, turned quite a number of heads with the noises we made, and proceeded wait for the models turn on their rehearsal, which would mean quite a long wait (kinda like how long it took for you to read till you got here).
And so, we started posing for pictures! One of the few examples....
And so, almost an hour passed after the 1st rehearsal when we started our 2nd rehearsal run. It ended pretty late, we got home for sleep and were zombified the next day at work. Along came Monday evening which we had anticipated for quite a while. The show was to start at 7.30 pm and we were backstage preparing ourselves. Hong got himself a pair of nice shades to wear! It's a shame we didn't manage to take any nice photographs of him with the shades on. Refer to the previous post for the only picture with Hong in shades if you're a fan, by clicking here.
And so, while preparing, we ran through the choreography once more. To my horror, the shoe I wore flew while I kicked!! Our solution? Masking tape....
And so, our heart were thumping heavily 5 seconds away from show time. Even though we're used to public performances, we just couldn't control our heart rate. It was LAP's first live show after all. Here's the edited video of the rehearsals and the actual performance.
Many thanks to all who came to the show to support us! Thanks to William for shooting, thanks to Michelle, the TKD gang, Juli and Jouyin for cheering! My favourite part of performing was hearing the cheers you guys gave when we came out =) many thanks to those who wanted to come but couldn't make it (e.g Yuen).
