I always love classic movie. It looks sexy. We can see from the wardrobe and set. The Great Gatsby is a film in 20's set. About the jet set life. Glamour. Catherine Martin success for build the glamorous 20's from the costume and set. We can see how the party, castle house. 

The Great Gatsby is a romantic love story. Based on novel F. Scott Fitgerald. This is a remake movie from the same title in 1974. Its tell about Gatsby and Daisy who reunite after 5 years distant. But Daisy married with Tom, rich man who like to cheat. Gatsby built that house and make a spectacular party expect Daisy will come to the party. But she never come. Until one day Gatsby invite Nick Carraway, Daisy cousin who also neighbor Gatsby. Nick and Gatsby become a best friend

I love the story but i think Luhrmann put too much magic trick for this movie. Its look like we see the sci-fic movie. So we not really feel the classic atmosphere. In some part we can see the animation that Luhrmann made. Just like Hemingway & Gellhorn movie, Philip Kaufman shoot with green screen to build set Worldwar part 2. But we still feel the classic atmosphere. At The Great Gatsby the characters also not really strong. In here the greatest things are the production design and music. So may be i will watch the old version of The Great Gatsby :)

Short Movie Ternyata

Alhamdulillah, kita sudah selesai syuting dua minggu yang lalu di Yogya. Tepatnya di Awor Gallery, Lensa Jogya. Saat ini film Ternyata sudah sampai tahap online editing. Nerveous juga, karena Tropfest akan menjadi International Film Festival pertama yang akan kita submit, Selain bawa nama negara, ini juga sebenarnya bagian dari strategi gue untuk mendapatkan networking dan market untuk film gue selanjutnya. Jadi deg-degan parah. Tapi karena gue kerja sama team yang hebat, Pabrik Film, dengan design produksi yang ga amatir, equiptment juga yg ga amatir, gue yakin project ini akan spectacular.

Tapi satu hal yang bikin gue agak ngerasa ditampar. Gimana coba gue bisa dapat uang 25 juta dalam waktu 2 minggu? Pertolongan Tuhan luar biasa disini. Gue ga akan dapat uang sebanyak itu , tapi untuk film ini tiba-tiba uang itu bermunculan. Segala sesuatu gue serahkan ke team Pabrik Film. Di Jakarta otak gue ga berhenti mikir. Itulah, jika Tuhan memang sudah mengizinkan, maka hal itu akan terjadi.Gue jadi ingat, dulu pernah pegang project film yang ber- M M , tapi memang Tuhan belum mengizinkan, akhirnya gue ga ikut. Tuhan Maha Baik. Coba kalo gue ikut project itu, nama gue juga ikut-ikutan diomongin. Hahaha!!

Proses syuting Alhamdulillah lancar dan fun, acting Pipit sama Harry oke banget. Gue akan merekomendasikan mereka berdua jika ada kesempatan. Proses syuting sekitar 11 jam. Sudah cenat-cenut takut over time, becos i dont have money anymore. Dan gue berhutang sama Pabrik Film. Lewat film ini, gue harus kasih timbal balik ke mereka.

Gue senang, akhirnya gie bisa benar-benar melahirkan karya gue walau baru project kecil, Insya Allah tahun 2014 akan menjadi awal tahun kebangkitan for my better life.I still have another babies
