1.Clean Up Australia Day 08

2.Update on Maximum Choppage: Round 2
Check out the original "Maximum Choppage"

Bloopers - Behind the Scenes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd6CAiwvKjM
Sponsorships – Tim & Maria have been working extensively in this area. Meeting up with film director Craig Anderson to discuss matters. Currently doing a lot of research, making calls and connects with potential clients.
MC2 Trailer – The Official MC2 Trailer is due to be completed and will be released and promoted in the next month. Tim has slaved away hundreds of hours working and perfecting it.
Sound department – Sound is a very crucial component of the film and so far Tim had recently faced the obstacle of “maximising” the sound to align with the footage. Key partners in this area are Robert Trieu and Zeljko Lazic who will work collaboratively with SAE College to produce the audio to perfection.
Mockumentary – One of Rumble Pictures past projects is a mockumentary (a comedy film genre presented as a documentary recording real life, but is in fact fictional). Australia’s recent big hit was “Summer Heights High” and “The Nominees” done by comedy genius Chris Tilley. Thus, RP was inspired to create their own and react “Behind the Scenes of MC2”. This is due to be release in early April.
MC2 Translations – Vietnamese – Maria Tran initiated this project last year, however, it was faced some ongoing bumps on the road as team members have been dropping out of this project. However, Joseph Dinh, a young Australian-Vietnamese youth representative, member of Vietnamese Student Association and the Vietnamese Graduation Association has volunteered to fulfil the translations role. Dinh speaks a little bit about himself; currently a recent law graduate, emerging MC, fluent in the language of Vietnamese and is passionately pursuing literature and advocacy.
3.Marketing and Promotions
90.1 2 NBC FM Vietnamese Community Radio Interview
When: Tuesday 4th of March, 2008, 9-9.30pm.
Where: 33 Baumans Rd, Peakhurst
The Vietnamese community have a radio program every night on Tuesdays and Thursdays on 90.1 FM. This down-to-earth, bilingual and relaxing radio program touch base with other community organizations and community leaders.
A very nerve wrecking experience for me as it was my first time being interview live on a radio station. The interview was conducted in Vietnamese so I had to encapsulate “Rumble Pictures” to the best of my abilities; retelling the beginnings, the challenges, the community, projects, and the possible future. A couple bloopers here and there but overall it was an exciting experience.
4. Events
Seminar Series: Where do you get it? Funding your arts project.
When: Thursday 27th of March, 2008, 6-8pm.
Where: Performance Studio, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Cnr Campbelltown & Appins Rd, Campbelltown.
Timothy Ly and 1 was at this ICE event to hear out what Arts Council and CCD worker has to say about funding and touching on some of the barriers around funding assessments.
Key speakers included:-
· Dr Paula Abood – Writer, director, community cultural development worker
· Frank Panucci – Director, Community Partnerships, Australia Council for the Arts
· Louise Walsh – Director, Artsupport Australia.
The community partnerships category was still very confusing and I agree with what Dr Abood said about the orgnisation being distant from the artist. Even Director Frank Panucci had admitted that sometimes its who you know that are on the assessing committee.
Louise Walsh from Artsupport Australia (a sector of Arts Council) services was very appealing. They are basically set up to mentor individual and group artists in finding corporate funding, something of which Tim and I are veering towards.
I have booked in a meeting with her on the 21st of April, 2008 to discuss Rumble Pictures case.
4.Project Proposals
