Addicted ---> CHANEL N°5 film




Chanel has just released their latest promotional film (shown at the end of this loooong post) for their classic fragrance, Chanel No. 5. This is the third in a series of films for Chanel Fragrances. The two previous were Baz Luhrmann's starring Nicole Kidman in 2004 and Joe Wright's starring Keira Knightly in 2007. The two and a half minute film will soon air in edited versions as tv commercials.



Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who has shot 40-50 previous advertisments as well as films like Delicatessen and Amélie, talks about his experience filming the latest Chanel No.5 film with 33 year old French actress Audrey Tautou, which also stars model turned actor Travis Davenport.




The Upshot:

The 2 minute and 20 second film (Jeunet says it's "not an ad") for Chanel No. 5 is about chance meetings, fate, romance and more. In the behind the scenes interviews, the director makes it clear that he loved working for Chanel, he was given a great deal of freedom on the script, he knew he wanted to cast Audrey Tautou (Jean Pierre and Audrey have made 2 previous movies together) and Audrey helped him to choose the male lead from several actors in the running; Travis Davenport.

above : "It's a real film , it's a cinema , It's not really an ad." - Juenet

The director had always wanted to shoot on a sleeper train, so when he got the brief from Chanel, he was surprised at how well it fit with what he'd always wanted to do. They wanted black dark images with reflections of light and emotion.

The film was shot in Istanbul.

If you're like most people, you don't really have the time to fully investigate the depth of the nice site where Chanel posts the film, along with many interviews, behind the scenes stills and more. So, I've abbreviated the info for you here. By choosing particular screen grabs and comments (albeit truncated and out of context), I can share with you the basic gist of the project.

Below are screen grabs and visual sound bites that sum up the experience as shared by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and actress Audrey Tautou.



Juenet : " It's like a patronage : a short movie financed by Chanel."



Juenet : " the emotions induced by  scene is an interesting challenge "



Juenet : " I love stories of fate and chance. "



Juenet  : " So I wrote In missed encounters and regrets. "



Juenet : " Because years later you say , " I should have taken a chance. "



Juenet : " The editing was a nightmare. "



Juenet : " Because there were so many great moments. "

On Casting Audrey Tautou , In Chanel N°5 film :



Juenet : " It was obvious that Audrey would be my first choice "



Juenet : " An extremely expressive actress for the very short shots



Juenet : " Made her perfect , so I suggested her to Chanel."

On Casting Travis Davenport , In Chanel N°5 film ( Chosen by Audrey )  :



Juenet : " We wanted a young man with a certain feminity "



Audrey : " Travis , the young man in the movie with me "



Audrey : " He had to look like he'd fallen head over heels In love "



Juenet : " He portrayed it beautifully. "

Up in the Air – Atkinson performs Beethoven

This is a lovely performance on an invisible piano by comedy genius Rowan Atkinson (also known as Mr. Bean). The air piano act include two Beethoven sonatas: the first movement from the Pathétique Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op.13 and the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2.


This was a part of Amnesty International’s ‘The Secret Policeman’s Ball’, filmed in 1979 and also starring such notable talent as John Cleese, Billy Connoly, Michael Palin, Peter Cook. The Secret Policeman’s Balls is the collective name informally used to describe the long-running series of benefit shows staged in England to raise funds for the human rights organisation Amnesty International. The shows started out in the mid-1970s primarily as comedy galas featuring popular British comedic performers and later expanded to include leading musical performers.

Someday , you can SHINE once more.

An amazing commercial from PANTENE.

You defeated me for once , but never forget that there are still Thousands of me Survive.

Someday , if I choose to SHINE , I CAN SHINE ONCE MORE !

I will , because I said so.

*Seriously , at the end , it kinda craps me out a little , I laughed like mad xD*

Busoni – 25 original pieces and 15 Bach transcriptions

The Italian pianist Btant achievements as a composer were long over-shadoweusoni’s impord by the fact that he was generally thought the greatest piano virtuoso after Liszt.

He also made his mark as a respected teacher of both piano playing and composition, and as an editor of Bach’s keyboard music. His thoughts on Bach’s music have been highly influential, although his editions weren’t exactly what we today would call authentic.

The solo piano versions of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (for organ) and the Chaconne from the second Violin Partita are among his most well-known transcriptions.

True or not, the story of Busoni’s wife being introduced at a function as Mrs. Bach-Busoni says a lot about how famous Busoni’s Bach transcriptions were already in his own lifetime.

In spite of his interest in baroque and classical music, Busoni was certainly no backward-looking composer. In his writings he proposes the use of microtonal scales and electronics, and in 1912 he produced his first work “without tonality”, the Second Sonatina.

Busoni’s major keyboard work, Contrapuntal Fantasy, is based on the final, incomplete fugue from Bach’s Art of Fugue.

Just went back from Hospital Gleneagles ( Not Grand for God's sake )


Just went back from Hospital Gleneagles , For your information is Gleneagles not GRAND ( Meng Juan Meng Juan.. haiz ) To understand the directions from Serdang to Ampang , I checked by using Google Earth , and yes it is one of the most efficient way to find out the right direction for the right destination. But the name must be correct lah ~ I search for few minutes to discovered the right name for the Hospital , GLENEAGLES ! ~ GRAND .. WHAT LAH.

So we head to Hospital Gleneagles which is located at Ampang.Searched for her room and we found her... laying on the bed... looked really tired and dull.. She couldn't move except her arm and head. I saw those bruises on her arm.. gosh.. wonder how she felt that moment when she bang herself... Unbelievable...Couldn't Imagine how's that feel.

I felt a pain in my heart when I saw her , gosh... that feeling ... kinda kanasai.

I really do hope things like this wouldn't happen to her.. She still asked for my condition while she's in pain you know ? Haiz... Silly Alice... you rest lah. Sha gua.

Her family came forward to support her , a few formal classmate of mine also came forward to support her but just left. Even her boyfriend , lol also brought along his Buddies came forward to support her as well. See Alice ? We all Love you.You really need to take a very good care of yourself so that other's won't worry too much about you.

Gosh... so worried about her... She's going to start her surgery tomorrow... Doctor will put a screw inside her spine... She must be feeling afraid right now... although she looks ok infront of us...

Alice , you must be confident and brave alright ?

I wished to stay there and accompany her but hospital wouldn't allow so many people to stay...

I am so so so worried about her right now.. hope that she will sleep well... and get a good rest for tomorrow's operation..

Guess I can't sleep again tonight... I must visit her and stay there for her tomorrow.

Lord... I ask only for this favor for once again , Please give every of your power and strength for her... is so heartbreaking to see her in this sort of condition... Help her get through this as soon as possible... I know you will O Lord.. You are the only God I can seek for help non others... cause You are the most powerful God of all.. I trusted your power and your Holy Spirit.Protect her with the Hands of God and let nothing could harm her. Fight the Devils away , and build her strong beliefs towards you. Let her be courage and no fear for anything through your Holy Spirit... lessen her pain O Lord... Heal her as soon as possible so that she can be able to walk as usual again.. I only ask for this O Lord... By your name I pray.. Amen.

 

The Memorial of my MUSICAL STORIES.

These few days , stayed at home. BORED. So I really have to find something else to do.

Wanna find a job , nah , who would hired a person who works only for three weeks ?

I read books ( until my bed also full of books , I even slept with them =.='' )  , I learned new recipes , I went for sports. But still.. sigh..

I sort of lost every of my passion as a young adults since my first semester of college end...

 UNTIL !

Yeah , I searched back all my classical's music book. Started to played every single pieces of them out of my boredom.

But hey ! Gosh ! That feeling came out from me again , the feeling of SUCCESS and ART !! ART !! Muahahaha !!

Sitting infront of the piano , found myself drowning into music for over 6 hours.Non stop playing and trying for new pieces.

Somehow , I really do forget that I still have music as part of my life.The only greatest talent given by God. Cempaka , how can I abandon such precious thing which always lives in me ?

I should discover and Improve more about this talent of mine.If possible , I'll make it greater and greater day by day.

I wanna prove to myself , that I... LOVE MUSIC !!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH !!!

But...I also need money to hire a professional for proceeding my piano learning courses. :( haiz..  
BEETHOVEN LISZT RACHMANINOFF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH HANDEL HAYDN SCHUMANN CHOPIN MENDELSSOHN DVORAK ERIK SATIE VERDI VIVALDI ANDERSON MASSENET VAUGHAN WILLIAMS CHABRIER J STRAUSS DEBUSSY et cetera et cetera.

told ya my finest favourite still belongs to Classical. ;) The ancestor of all genre of music. 

I remember my very first classical music I listened to since I was a little ( Age 5 if I wasn't mistaken ) Is The Radetsky March , by J Strauss. I was so fond with this music until my mom also cannot tahan , bought all the classical music collections cassette for me.

But the one that encouraged me to start my piano lesson was non other than , guess what ?

Not Beethoven Fur elise or Moonlight sonata , not Pachelbel Canon In D , not Chopin Nocturne , not Clementine Piano Sonata no no no

but is non other than VALSE ,  " PETIT CHIEN " op.64 no.1 

That was the first ever piano classical music that encouraged me to touch those precious keys for my very first time. 

Amazing huh ? Yeah , music is always that amazing.

But later I tend to discovered the remarkably string sound from VIOLIN ~ Gosh , that was an amazing instrument which had ever been created. I thank the one who invented this great Invention of all.

I remember a boy who captured my attention by placing a Violin on his shoulder , playing it In a way which I can say , so charming and attractive. xD That day , I was Intended to perform my piano at a Musical College name YAMAHA.And this cute little boy... he was the last one to perform ( like I always said , the last is still the best )  THIS BOY RULES  MAN !! HE WAS GREAT !! He seems really calm and cool while performing his Violin , together with the masterpiece enchoring behind name BACH , Air On the G string. ( I bet all of you recognize this piece )

I was stunned at that moment. My world only Involves me and him.Everything surround me just lost.
My nerves went out , and my tears rolled out. I just wished if I were him. GOSH !! WHY !?

MOM  !! WHY PIANO !!? WHY !!?

And my mom says : " Because I hate Violin. "

....

CHEH =.=''' . No choice lor , the money belongs to hers. She can do whatever she wanted to.

But very sienz lor , My cousin all piano de  ~ ( believe me , ALL PIANO !! ) Now I also wanna continue piano meh ? SIGH...

UNTILL NOW , I never get rid of BACH from my mind. Especially Air on the G string. Cause this masterpiece reminds me of that boy. Who taught me the real meaning of VIOLIN through his playing. LOL I wonder how is he doing right now ? Did he continue his journey on Violin ? Must be great , cause he's a stunning Violinist.

Days went by , and I growed older. I STILL HATE PIANO !

HAHA ;) Just kidding. Nope I don't hate piano , in fact , I love piano more and more !! :D You can't hate that instrument if you wanna learn it well.So I found my ways to Love it , and now I really do love piano :D

Although , yes the chances of performing piano in an Orchestra stands only... a little percentage but who cares ? Piano is still outstanding , it still has its unique key sounds , its not that easy to play , it required lots of skills to play , it also represent most of the greatest musician back from the long long history till now. Want me to name them ? LOL Piano can be classical , can be modenize.

DJ Nujabes and Freetempo as well as OKAWARI uses Piano for his music , Beethoven and Chopin created lots of great masterpieces through Piano , Maksim was an internationally known Pianist for his remarkable piano skills , Evgeny Kissin , YUN DI LI , Richard Clayderman etc etc all Outstanding Pianist ~ JAZZ BOSSA NOVA PUNK ROCK POP R@B also requires Piano

All of these shows how important a Piano is for composing any kinds of great music.Piano is everywhere ! Everyone Loves Piano. Piano is so Internationally known and I dare to say that without Piano , it will be a great lost for everyone not only for Musicians in terms of Music.

Piano sounds great.That's the most simple reason why everyone loves it ;)

I started to learned the fact that every Instrument owns its attractive sides.

LOL , Still remember myself playing trumpet during primary days.The feeling was Indeed , BRAVO !!  I wanted to try Clarinet for my next ;) ~~

I love music , so I always get the passion to learn every different kinds of Instruments Including chinese instrumental. ( KUN KUN !! TEACH ME !! ) 

I had a friend , Woah he was so fond with Classical Musics until everything about him relates to that. He can even name out all those great musician's name , from which century , their background , their masterpieces and composing , and when did they died. Walao yeah ~ The whole day I was with him non stop chatting everything ! Everything about CLASSICAL MUSIC.

He got hundreds of Classical music CD'S Collection ( I don't know now maybe thousands :P ) And he even... often dressed himself with coat.He's a Violionist and a Pianist by the way. Is my pleasure to be his friend. :D He is taking music courses ( as everyone predicted ) right now in UK , LONDON ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. ( Yes yes Gerard is you no doubt )

Though my dream of proceeding my studies In a Music School and performing on stage can't be full fill at the end. ( Sorry Gerard can't fullfill my promise to proceed our music dreams together with you :(  I do hope I will get the chance to see you on stage performing your very own concert someday :D Pray for you. )

But I would NEVER EVER give up in music no matter what circumstances I'm facing ( woah ! 0_o )  

Music is my soul , as well as my passion. ;)
