BR working with Doan Nguyen
After weeks of emailing and collaboration with Doan Nguyen, the managing director of Passive Productions, we are finally able to shape what is looking to be set cast and reliable crew. Of course with the amount of information that's come in and out of our heads during this time, it is difficult to document everything. I'll just stick to the main points for now.
So it has been decided that Yenii and I will be the core members of Brisbane Rumble. This works better in terms of chain of command as the top are ultimately in charge and accountable for everything.
After a few meetings with Doan, both Yenii and I have been given actual roles which in the beginning, seemed rather daunting. After further discussion, we realised that what we were getting ourselves into was much much bigger than we had anticipated.. it was no longer daunting... it was just scary :p
Yenii's role is set manager, the person who will look after the set, props and equipment for the shoots. This is a HUGE task since she needs to be able to manage everything that isn't people. Considering she does not have any experience in film, this will be quite a mission for her... I'm sure she'll have no problems picking it up though I am more concerned about her confidence to do it. She may seem unsure of herself but everyone knows (everyone being Maria and I) that she is very capable and definitely able to complete this task well.
My role is the production manager. When she announced it, I actually had no idea what I'd actually be doing :p Doan later informed me that I'll basically be handling all the cast and crew. At the time I didn't actually realise the magnitude of this role until she gave me further tasks.
On top of that, I will also be the fight choreographer for the entire production. I am to choreograph fight scenes accomodating for karate and aikido. Whilst karate shouldn't be too hard to do, I don't have any experience with aikido... that could be a problem. I guess I'll have to get some help with that area. Now the problem with this, is that I'll only have about a month to come up with all the action scenes. Shouldn't be too hard a task so long I spend full days on it and practice up as much as I can. This is where things get complicated... it doesn't matter how well I perform these things, I still have to train the actors to do it. Honestly, I think that is too much of an uncertainty without knowing what their capabilities are along with the time frame I actually have to do all of this in.
Anyway, crazy near impossible tasks to achieve aside, that's where I thought my problems why... not the case... Doan has also casted ME as the villain of the feature, Nick. I'm a badass who just wants the money or to kick ass. Unfortauntely, Nick isn't the best fighter and gets beat up by Benjiman in every single one of their encounters. I don't mind that at all considering I'll be the closest person to a stuntman on set. I'm not a big fan of acting so it'll be another new and interesting experience I guess.
Another task I've been doing is helping Doan with casting. So far I have been able to lock in a friend I play Tekken with named, Peter O'Flannigan. Though the name is Irish, he's actually black in appearance and he has an afro! He'll be playing the role of a bouncer. Though short, he is solid framed and does look the part.
I will be introducing more friends when they can meet Doan so they can be locked in. At the moment I am working on casting one of the lead roles, Lien, who will hopefully be played by my friend, Karen Truong, possibly the cutest girl I know. I am not too sure about her abilities on screen and if she can take on the role with that type of character. I guess time will tell.
Anyway, my head is too scattered at the moment. I know I'm missing a stack of things to talk about but I guess I'll save them for another time.

MC2, Saturday Night and the Ninja!
The day started off with a nice sleep in (the first time ever for me) as I had a nice lunch in the heart of Cabramatta, where I spent the first six years of my life. It was nice and busy and very hot.
After convincing a few of my friends (unrelated to Rumble Pictures) to attend the nights' screenings, I quickly rushed home to prepare for the night.. except this time, with a slight twist.
With a slight lack of Rumble Pictures crew, I pitched an idea to Tim that would make the screening a little more interesting for everyone. I arrived a little early with Maria to set up the venue and prepare the center. As the time approached, I opened the doors and greeted the guest... ... as a NINJA!
I'm pretty sure I surprised a few people in that extremely hot suit. I became a bit of an attraction somewhat mingling with the crowd and getting people to interact with each other. Later the guests saw a roving documentary ninja walking around with a video camera capturing their expressions and comments. I think I may have scared some kiddies :p
Tim decided to send me on a photo shoot with random guests with the hook of, "This is your only chance you can get a photo with a ninja!" To my surprise, it worked as some guests even got into a bit of character having me in a headlock and performing various attacks (on me).
It was a great way to ease the crowd and get them into a fun mindset for the screening.
When everyone entered the screening hall, many laughed at the lighting and audio ninja as I once again took control board. This time I was a lot more prepared for the audio as I adjusted as much as I could the peaks. I must say, I did a rather good job (if I don't say so myself :p).
My friends who attended thoroughly enjoyed MC2 as nice combination of martial arts and comedy. In fact, they are looking to attend another screening bringing some of their other friends. It's so easy to network and generate interest when you have such a great product to show in MC2.
Once again, I have to thank Tim for allowing me to be a part of another Rumble Pictures event which lead to meeting so many important people. His vision for both the production company and his choreography is something I really need to tap into!
A BIG BIG thanks to Craig Anderson for showing me around the ABC center and all your advice for both my future projects and industry related roles and tasks.
The Rumble Pictures crew... I really can't get enough of this group. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help each other. It makes me want to pack everyone into my suitcase to bring back home.
Lastly, but definitely not the least, I have to thank Maria once again. Ultimately, she is the one I have to answer to and she is the one who has to put up with me. Crashing at her place once again (hi to the rest of the Tran Clan) and following her around like a bad smell trying to absorb as much of her infinite wisdom, experience and knowledge is what I did. The only way I feel like I can truly repay her is to produce my own productions up the same standard as Rumble Pictures. I know that's a pretty crazy goal but I really do think that this will be possible so long as I stay on track with my goals clear. With the mentoring from Maria, Tim and Craig, I am hoping to do my best not just for Maria but for all of Rumble Pictures.

Craig Anderson at the ABC Ultimo Center
Who would've thought that some random Brisbanite could just walk straight into the ABC center located at Ultimo and be taken on a tour around the center by "Double the Fist" star, Craig Anderson... certainly not me.
After a nice chat at the launch of MC2 the night before, I found myself standing in the foyer waiting for Craig to pick me up to go for a tour around the ABC center. This place was huge with countless editing rooms (I had no idea there were so many current projects that required that much editing) with a lot of TV personalities just walking around randomly. After the quick tour and lunch with Craig and his father, we went back up to his office where I met "Good Game" (GG) host, Steven O'Donnell, a.k.a. Bajo. As expected, he was sitting there playing games :p I also met some of the GG and Double the Fist (DTF) crew... everyone's just so nice. I'm hoping I can work in a similar environment someday doing what I love.
Later, I was able to help Craig on some editing on a mash up between GG and DTF. I don't want to give anything away so everyone can just watch it tomorrow night... all I can say is that it's something that is very "Steve Foxx" in character to do. Just remember, if anyone has any complaints, please forward them to the ABC center :p
The next time I am in Sydney, I will definitely contact Craig again to catch up. He's just a great mentor and a great person who really knows what he's doing. He is the type of person anyone would want to work with.
After leaving the ABC center and heading back to Fairfield for the first public screening, I found myself on the wrong train, not once, but twice. I ended up at YAGOONA. I was standing at a station feeling pretty funny trying to explain to Tim that I was at a train station called "Yagoona".
Anyway, the first public screening saw some 130 people turn up for MC2. A different type of crowd as not too much mingled and interacted with each other but it did give great feedback as once again, Rob da Fob topped the list of favourite characters. This night went a lot smoother with a few changes to the organisation and execution in that David Leong was not on the sound and lighting... instead, I was. It was random but I definitely did my best to balance the peaky audio.
Admittedly, I didn't really know when to adjust the audio on this night. Some bits were loud whilst others were too soft. Luckily the crowd enjoyed the visuals enough not to let the audio really bother them.
Both Maria and Tim were a lot more nervous since this crowd consisted more of family and friends of the cast and crew and even some randoms who RSVP'd after hearing on the radio about the screenings. The one thing I heard the most when arrived was, "Oh my god! It's Maria! It's really Maria!" Everyone enjoys meeting the beautiful star actress of a feature.
The night was different from the launch but it did give us a bit of insight into what we could expect for the next night... or so we thought. Some slight changes were made as we prepared for an unexpected Saturday night screening...

The Launch (Brisbane Remix)
SMOLY HOKES! MAXIMUM CHOPPAGE ROUND 2!!
The much anticipated launch of Rumble Picture's four year epic journey has finally been unveiled to the public and the response was enormous as celebrities and important community heads flocked to experience the premiere screening.
Seeing this for the first time myself, I had high expectations on the fight choreography and the overall finished product. Needless to say, this urban kung fu feature integrating comedy, drama and spectacular action scenes, did not disappoint. When you take into account that this feature was filmed on a regular Sony handycam with consumer level equipment, Rumble Pictures have created a project that's nothing short of inspirational to young movie makers and youths within the community.
For me, the action scenes definitely stood out and left the biggest mark on me. Being able to be involved with Timothy Ly on "Downtown Rumble" has really been a learning experience that will stay fresh in my mind for years to come. After seeing the finished product of MC2, I am finally able to see what Rumble Pictures as a group can accomplish.
The fight scene between Tim, Maria and her on screen brother (sorry, forgot his name), was probably the standout fight scene. It was the first real fight in the movie and it really hit HARD! Showing off the amazing abilities of Maria (she did a freakin' scorpion kick!), the "Lil Bro" and Tim, I was blown away by the fast paced action. Also adding a bit of humour to the fight (especially with the appearance of Rob da Fob), it really did set a high standard for the rest of the movie... I can tell you, they did not disappoint.
Introducing Roxy, as Tim's love interest, she pulls off a sassy girl whose stolen book sets up the main plot for the feature. Then, enter, Rob da Fob. He really was the standout character who just happened to pop up at the "right time, in the right place and in the right frame of mind"... that is, with girls on his mind. He really added a whole new dimension to MC2 as the comic relief who absolutely ZERO fight ability and "100% lub for you".
I thoroughly enjoyed the feature and am awaiting news for MC3!
Later in the night when the screening had finished, I got the chance to meet a lot of important people which was both interesting and eye opening. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Young Australian of the Year 2005, Khoa Do, "Double the Fist" star, Craig Anderson, "Fat Pizza's" Serena Hunt, Martial arts film critic, Brian Walls, a cast of film and government/parliaments heads, I was truly swimming in a crowd of potential future contacts and resources.
Being able to meet Khoa Do was a surreal experience. After hearing and reading so much about him, being able to actually converse with him was something I just never expected. After giving me some inspiring words, I was more hyped up than ever!
When it comes to meeting people you always love to work with, you really can't go past Craig Anderson. He is possibly the most humble and fun person to work with. You wouldn't even know that he was a TV personality since he's just so damn nice. More on him on my next post :p
Maria introduced me to a few other people on the night (sorry, I really can't remember all the people I met) as I began interviewing and doing what documentary people should be doing. Speaking of which, StreeTV was also there doing interviews and documenting for their own purposes as well... they were my competition so I couldn't stay impressed for too long.
After the night was done, Julia, Maria, Tim and myself went out to have a victory dinner. Much deserved and an excellent job to Rumble Pictures and all the crew that was involved in both MC2 and the organisation of the launch night!

Another character who was introduce that gave me a bit of a laugh was Ali when Tim chases "Lil Bro". His expression was priceless as he throws his phone and shoe at the guys. The slow motion acting was also something I enjoyed... who ever said you need post-production special effects to do special effects?
The one thing that is often overlooked when it comes to the movie is the music. MC2 introduced songs by Israel, Just a Day, Envy Parade and more. Diversity and a nice selection of fast paced background tracks during the action scenes really added a feeling of completeness to the shot. Predominantly starring Australiasian youths, I really felt that the the music selection appealed to a much wider range of audiences with the mix of R'n'B, Hip Hop, Rock and softer ballads for the more romantic themed moments.I thoroughly enjoyed the feature and am awaiting news for MC3!

Maximum Chopage 2!
The long awaited launch of Maximum Choppage 2 is only a couple of days away now and everyone is getting excited. Both Yenii and myself will be flying down there to be a part of it. Once again, I've been assigned to be part of the roving documentary team along with Jack. Everything should run a lot smoother this time around since I have a little experience under my belt from the last trip.
Yenii is on the reception with Sam Ly. She's helped Maria out with a lot of things in the past so she'll be the happy face that welcomes all our guests on the night.
Neither Yenii nor myself know what to expect since we haven't been apart of anything like this before. The activities I participated on my first trip with Laurent were completely different to what's planned for this trip. The one thing I can be certain of though, we'll have heaps of fun no matter what.
Again, I'll be crashing at Maria's place so a thanks in advance goes out to the Tran Clan.
Amongst all this hype, another purpose of my trip will be to discuss with both Maria and Tim, the direction Brisbane Rumble is headed in and what steps I need to take to better utilise the limited time we all have. They both are a wealth of knowledge that I'll be sure to make use of when Brisbane Rumble becomes more active.
I just want to make sure I get everything, not just completed, but completed right and up to everyone's standard and liking.
Anyway, the next time I blog will either be in Sydney or when I get back.

BR's first production
Now that everyone is a little more acquainted with each other, we can now look at developing ideas for our first production. The following are the ones we have already come up with:
1) Fight over a taxi (Bill)
Fighter 1 (trained with a staff) exits the dojo after training and hails a taxi. Fighter 2 is late to work and rushes out of his house to look for a taxi. They both move towards a taxi only to grab the door handle at the same time. They both argue over who gets the taxi only to start fighting. Whilst they are fighting, a third person comes onto the scene and takes the taxi.
2) Janitor vs school kid (Laurent)
A school kid walks into a school class room with dirty shoes just after a janitor cleans it. The kid shows no remorse and begins to argue with the janitor. They get into a fight. The janitor wins.
I need more information on this since my memory is sucking at the moment.
3) Fight at the hospital (Bill)
Fighter 1 arrives at the hospital asking for assistance. At the same time fighter 2 arrives and askes for the same thing. The confused nurse does not know who to serve first. Soon after the fight gets physical as the begin to wreak havoc in the hospital. Annoyed, the nurse beats both of them up only to make both of them new residents of the ward.
Each of these ideas need to be developed further so we can begin planning and choreography. I say this now since each seems to have specific environments that may or may not affect the fight sequences. Any feedback ASAP would be very helpful.
At the moment, I will probably push the third idea since it will be able to introduce Laurent, Yen and myself as actors (though I suck at acting :p) but more so from a martial arts perspective. Of course a lot of changes can be made so at the moment, nothing is set in stone... I just want something everyone can think about and work on for now.
In other news, I don't know how much I mentioned about the meeting I had with Doan (I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it... yes I'm Vietnamese, but everyone knows I'm not _really_ asian :p), but before we get into any productions working with her and her company, I want to get this first production out of the way only so we can establish ourselves. This is more important at the moment since it also keeps all parties (Doan, each member of Brisbane Rumble and Rumble Pictures as a whole) safe.
If anyone has any more questions, please feel free to ask or raise the question.

Of course a lot of changes can be made so at the moment, nothing is set in stone... I just want something everyone can think about and work on for now.
In other news, I don't know how much I mentioned about the meeting I had with Doan (I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it... yes I'm Vietnamese, but everyone knows I'm not _really_ asian :p), but before we get into any productions working with her and her company, I want to get this first production out of the way only so we can establish ourselves. This is more important at the moment since it also keeps all parties (Doan, each member of Brisbane Rumble and Rumble Pictures as a whole) safe.
If anyone has any more questions, please feel free to ask or raise the question.
