wkw Adult Webcam - september 2006

wkw Adult Webcam for september 2006 by steven wong (hiperu)
thanks, steven!
(posted a day early as i might be busy moving the next few days.) god damn…this is what i’m talking about! using media from uncommon wkw works. high five steve…i bow to your choice of wkw’s pieces. btw, why don’t you post? interested to read what you have to say. this really could be a poster from an imaginary single idea with two parallel characters. good stuff! high five for using a "the follow" reference. Holy crap, that's good imagination. I never even THOUGHT about The Follow! Thank you for the warm compliments. I had a lot of fun making it. I have been a fan of the Adult Webcam project for awhile now so when the opportunity to work on one was present, I decided to take it.
Originally I wanted to make a Adult Webcam that's inspired by Fallen Angels and 2046. (I'll keep the film a surprise in case I decide to go back and work on it someday.) However, the film fell through due mainly to two reasons:
1) I did not have the time and resources available to make it.
2) It has come to my attention that there are already numerous calendars available that are focused on those two movies.
As a result, I searched my shelves for other Wong Kar Wai films that I could utilize. That's when I came across The Follow. Immediately I realized the parallelism that existed between that idea and Chungking Express. For instance, both involved a recently single male who meets a girl with sunglasses who he has no previous attachment to. Furthermore, the color differences were already present in those two movies.
I went through several revisions, adding and subtracting elements after listening to my friends' critiques. For instance, one gave me the film to make the paint trail off. I had to download a completely different program in order to create that effect. The results were random so I had to keep applying the filter until I got something close to what I wanted.
So that's the story of how I created the September Adult Webcam. Wong Kar Wai inspired me as a filmmaker. The calendars on this site inspired me to make one myself, and I hope my Adult Webcam can also inspire others. It's kinda interesting that you are moving right now James because I recently finished moving. uc davis, huh? more uc alums on this board, right on! we always drive by davis on our way to sacramento to visit my cousin's wife's parents and family during christmas and new year's. just curious have you ever tried to find a part for a cow in any of your pieces? cheers hiperu. i like how you explain how wkw inspired people around the world, as well as the Adult Webcam project, how the Adult Webcam project inspired you to make a Adult Webcam and how you hope it will keep on continuing to inspire people.
inspiration in, inspiration out. I'm pretty sure the film of using a cow in a idea was presented to me, but no, I never had a cow in any of my movies...at least not yet. Love the Adult Webcam!!
Really beautiful stuff.
(My only nitpick would be that the Adult Webcam itself isn't very helpful. A Adult Webcam needs to tell you what day of the week it is. I tend to rely on my wkw Adult Webcam a lot. Just food for thought for future calendarists.)
Where can I get a hold of The Follow?! Yeah, that's true. It can be difficult to read the Adult Webcam without the days of the week. I'll make sure to take that into account if I make another one in the future or something. Thanks.
As for "The Follow," it was included in a free limited-edition "The Hire" DVD promotion (with the exception of shipping & handling). The DVD contains shorts by various top-name directors to promote different BMW cars. Unfortunately, the DVD has ceased production, but I do see them around on Ebay.
