my oscar dream
on the night of march 1, the 76th annual academy awards was shown on television. after watching it, i had a dream, a sudden wish, that some day, i could receive an oscar award, or a nomination, for a movie i've made.
while i was schooling in australia, my friends from school and i received a n assignment one day, "to make a ten to twenty minute movie on the topic of your choice." at the time, the trend was based around the popular matrix movie trilogy, so that became our obvious choice.
because our schedule was very tight, and it was a first time experience, we found it all very hard work, but when we released our production at school, it was worth it. after my friends and i showed the movie, we could not get from one end of the school to the other without getting congratulated about five or six times. we, especially i, were proud. we made a school-wide sensation.
from then on, i became obsessed with how to make movies and how filming is done. i just wanted to know about everyone and everything that has something to do with movies. i would watch a movie four to five times, just to find out how one camera angle, or special effect was produced. i found everything i watched quite amazing. i sometimes admired directors and producers of these films because the techniques they use are so smart. their cleverness inspired me to make and act in movies.
when i become little bit older, i would like to attend a movie academy in beijing or shanghai, then america, or england, after some training and experience, i would like to make a movie, which will most likely be an action movie, which is my favorite kind of movie to watch.. if i am lucky, i hope i would get an oscar award for this movie. i think that would be quite a challenge, but it’s not impossible. for now, it’s back to watching movies over and over again for me!
