Lun Yee Tong Promo 2013

The year of the Snake has arrived. Time to sound the drums, light the fireworks, awaken the Dragons and Tigers for the celebration. This year I had the honor and pleasure to perform with Sacramento's lion dance team, Lun Yee Tong. The group not only does lion and dragon dancing, but also martial arts performance as well. The team and I trained hard in preparation for the performance. From push ups, to running, and frog jumps, just to name a few, we were ready for the New Year. We not only performed at markets, but also casinos and restaurants as well. Seeing as this is my first year, I only did one kung fu form and a part of the dragon. Regardless, it was still a fun experience and I can't wait for the next performance and give the lion a go.
With all of the videos that my friend James was able to record for me on my Canon 60D, I was able to put together a six minute promo trailer to show people what the team can do. This also allowed me to put more of my editing skills to work. If you are looking for excitement and action, then you will want to look for Lun Yee Tong's Dragon Lion Group.

Sacramento Film Festival 2013 The Results Are In

So sadly we didn't win the film festival, but I am happy that were selected and given an oppotunity to show our talents. In a way we did win. 
So I would like to take this oppurtunity to say Thank you. To my two Nephews and Niece for having the courage to stand in front the camera and give out your hearts and joy to helping your uncle make his story come to life. To those who believed in me no matter how hard the path is for me. This film that we made is about taking pictures, so that we can remember all of the good times. So let this film be a reminder of the great times we had making a movie together and many more to come. If you three are reading this, take a bow because you three are famous in my book.
