Hi, everyone! 我是Annie, 在<< Roulette City >>飾演女主角 “Armanda”!很開心可以在IMP的網頁上記下每天的拍攝心聲 ! 但更高興的是, 我們籌備已久的<< roulette city >>終於在11月23日正式開拍了!!! 坦白說, 首次拍攝電影的我, 緊張得已經好幾天不能睡呢!!!

第一天拍攝, 很多都是我和哥哥(阿堅)的戲! 飾演我哥的人是 “思源”. 他和我都是地道的澳門人. 在戲中, 我是一個年青的莊苛, 負責輪盤的工作. 而思源是一個大我14年的哥哥, 身兼父職把我養大成人. 因此戲中的他對我來說就像爸爸一樣. 我們第一天的拍攝竟是出奇的好!!! 更被導演Thomas 力讚擦出火花呢!!! 思源是一個很棒的演員, 他不但演得非常自然, 更能帶對手入戲, 我從他身上真的學到很多很多, 當然包括埋 “搞gag”啦, haha ^^ 與他的拍攝過程中, 我真的很享受! 因為彼此的演技得到交流了, 這對演員來說是最值得高興的事!
‘
之後開始拍攝我和michael的戲份. 戲中, michael是我的男朋友,但他卻是一個澳洲人.飾演michael 的人是 “Toby”. 由於是情侶的關係, 當中少不了較close的動作. 對於我來說, 真的太難了! 因為第一天拍攝就要拍close的戲份, 最最最重要的是我也是那一天才和Toby認識! 連say hi都未有我們就要close…. 第一次拍這樣的戲份, 我的臉紅得….簡直難以想像!!! 我的動作像freeze一樣, 超生硬!!! 導演Thomas 不斷向我說 “ Annie, you have to more relax ….” 但我真的太shy又怎能relax 呢….唉…..NG很多次後, 導演終於收貨…我亦終於鬆一口氣^^

經過一天的拍攝, 我發覺原來拍電影是不容易的. 為了拍攝不到的角度, 取全鏡, 近鏡, 演員都需要keep住情緒不斷重覆拍攝. 而當中每一個細微的動作都要一樣.這可是很考功夫呢! 而且要好用很多精神去keep住energy, 一loose就不能投入狀態了. 但無論怎樣, 我還是深深地體會到, 我是非常喜愛演戲!!! 因為我很享受在拍攝過程中的每一個呼吸, 那是不一樣的呼吸…
This is really an enjoyable moment which impressed in my life!

開鏡前收到一個有Armanda 名ge曲奇餅^^

左邊的人就是我偉大的哥哥啦!!! 右邊的人是我們的camera man 阿sam, 他是超棒的!!!

我偷偷地say hi呢~~

研究中....... 大家都很專心呢!!!

拍攝中~~

I’m sorry to announce that the ‘Roulette City’ movie shoot has been postponed to (tentatively) November due to my personal family situation.
Something happened, and I am currently in Singapore to be with my family during this difficult time.
My apologies to the crew and cast members, as well as friends and audiences who were following the progress of the making of the film.

Annie Loi is cast as Armanda

It gives me great joy to announce that Miss Macau 2008 finalist Ms Annie Loi has been cast as the female lead for our feature film ‘Roulette City’ as ‘Armanda’.

Annie has limitless talent and is a hard-worker. So, I have no doubt that she will excel in the role and that audiences will remember her performance.

Before I leave the ‘Wizard of Oz’ behind me and focus on writing and directing my new feature ‘Roulette City’, here’s something you might find interesting.
In my first ever theatre production, I acted as a Cat in ‘Cat City’ (left Singapore, 2000) and like we all know, I was most recently the Lion in the land of Oz (right Hong Kong, 2008). I would like to think that somehow the Cat has grown to be the Lion. Don’t know exactly what that means, but it’s fun to think that anyway!

Hi,

I’ve just finished performing as the Cowardly Lion in the Broadway Musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in Hong Kong. It went from 21-24 August and was produced by the Hong Kong Chorus Society. We performed to a live orchestra conducted by internationally acclaimed conductor Mr. Henry Shek - a great honor for sure. We had a great run and I had lots of fun.
The Lion suit however, did become heavier with time (as I was getting more tired), and sweatier, and quite smelly after awhile. My dressing room began to smell like a real zoo halfway through and well, hopefully it means I’m really getting into character.
It was of course, most comforting to be working with the director and old time friend Jacob Yu, and the cast was wonderful, not to mention the 50 odd kids being a handful. ha. Here are some pictures to show.

Enjoy!
Thomas Lim

Hi,

Welcome to the new Island Man Pictures blog! I have just finished performing in the Broadway musical ‘Wizard of Oz’ in Hong Kong a week ago (tired!) and am now back in Macau, sweating to shape up the script for ‘Roulette City’ which we will shoot later in October. I shall be posting new entries on this blog website really soon. So keep checking in for more updates on my personal activities and those of my company ‘Island Man Pictures’.

Later!
