Directing the SYF Opening Ceremony's Mass Display - Rehearsals

Directing the Mass-Display item for The Singapore Youth Festival Opening Ceremony 2012

Another year, another mass-display project..

This marks the 5th mass-display project I've directed in my career. The past five years we produced mass-display segments for events such as The SYF Opening Ceremony, The Asian Youth Games Opening Ceremony, The National Day Parade 2010, The ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony and now 2012, we are back on the SYF stage!

This year we got to work with the talented students of CHIJ St. Nicolas girls school.

Rehearsals started months ago...

As with all my shows.. LEDs!! 

Our props, LED umbrellas custom made for us.

Our rehearsals were at St. nicholas girls school before and after they moved to their new building...

Dan, my hero and my perfect working partner... He has been so supportive of me and had given me so much opportunities. What am I without him...

Moving into venue, rehearsals at the Singapore Indoor Stadium..

Watch out for part two!

ASEAN School Games Opening Ceremony Rehearsals

I had the honor to direct the finale act of the upcoming ASEAN School Game 2011 Opening Ceremony, along with my best buddy, the extremely talented choreographer Dan Kwoh!

Rehearsals for our item had started and will be going in full-force this coming week!

Dan has been working hard choreographing the dance moves, he started with a few high-intensity dance classes to condition the girls for the upcoming ideas we had.

Our extremely talented girls are specially auditioned and carefully selected from various schools!

One of our props made by P'ART 1 DESIGN! Lots of love and thanks for rushing the props for us! 

They worked late to rush the props for us and I collected the props at 4am! They are really extremely competent and dedicated craftsmen! Go to their website to check out some of the coolest props they've made!

Also, check out some of the FUN I had at P'ART 1 DESIGN from this previous blog post!

Lots of thanks to the girls working hard for this act!

It's gonna be another busy week for me! More updates to come! Check back soon!
