NEWS

04-02-2006 - So I haven't updated this thing in over two years now...so I'm am gonna start working on a brand new site with a new layout once I get some new pictures and video finished...it will hopefully be done by the end of summer. For now you can check my profiles on Friendster, Hi5, Frappr, MSN Spaces, MySpace, (add me with the email tonybanh@hotmail.com) and you can check out some of my old videos I've uploaded on YouTube.

02-27-2004 - Updated a bit of the PROFILE, MISC, and LINKS section.

12-14-2003 - Updated RESUME, VIDEO, and LINKS section. Again, it's been awhile. This is the new link to my ZeD videos (check out "When Pooh Bear Attacks!?!", funny stuff).
     Ummm...what else can I write...oh, in the summer I helped the Kent Ong from the oX Pasture team with a short film. The working title is "The Project 2", not sure what the official title is yet, hopefully the editing will be done this winter. I did some acting, fight choreography, and stunts for the film. It looks like it will be pretty funny and I had a great time working with everyone up in Toronto/Scarborough.
      I'm currently the Martial Arts/Stunt Trainer and Fight Cooridinator for two short films at the Ym Actors Group. One is a vampire series called "Martyrs" and the other is "Hour O: Episode 2" spy series. I've been working with the main actresses for Hour 0, teaching them basic martial arts skills for film, and they have been picking it up pretty well so far.  I've also been working on the layout for the YMAG website, but it's been a slow process. I gotta learn how to work with CSS. :P
     Also, Will wrote a script called "Sucker Punch", it's a Martial Arts Comedy short film. It's freaking hilarious, and we're currently working on pre-production and looking for cast. If you are a martial artist located in the Waterloo Region, please contact me at tonybanh@hotmail.com if you are interested in being the film. So far, we've filmed a kinda rehearsal fight (which may be used for the Title sequence) for Sucker Punch with Kyle Keon and Huy, whom we met at the Kips Gymnastics club. They did a pretty good job, and I'll probably have the fight edited and posted soon.

06-24-2003 - Updated MISC. section. The videos on my webspace are currently down, but I have uploaded my videos to a couple of websites. You can go to my Club540 account for low quality versions of my videos or my ZeD account for med-high quality versions.
I'm still slowly (very slowing) working on my two film projects, but have been working with Allen's YM Island Cinematics and YM Actors Group. I did some camerawork/general crew stuff and got to act in a few short scenes. The film is called "Raven and the Fox" and it's a short drama. It is set to premiere at the Galaxy Cinema in the Cambridge Centre mall sometime in mid-August. So, I get to see my ugly face and bad acting on the big screen soon...horay!

03-31-2003 - Just updated the LINKS section, changed and added bits in other sections. I'll have some new pics and videos uploaded soon.

03-30-2003 - Damn, haven't updated in a while. Will and I have just started filming our first short film called "Pseudo Psychosis". Will wrote the script and is starring in the film, I'll be directing. We also have two of our main actor, Tyler Moyes and Jackie ??? (sorry, don't know her last name) helping us, but we are still looking for more actors for other small speaking roles. We currently just filmed one short scene (and we may need to redo some of it) but we will start filming again this Wednesday and hopefully we'll get a lot more done.
     Also, Allen from YM Island has finished filming the first episode of "Hour 00". I helped out with some camera work about a month ago and just recently got the footage transferred for Allen to edit. He said it's almost 50% complete now, we'll hopefully get to see it soon. His company looks like it's really progressing now, he's planning do a lot of short films in the future (6-12 a year) and just yesterday had a casting call for people interested in acting for the YM Island Actors Group at Conestoga College. I was unable to attend because of work.
     Anyways, I'm gonna try to upload some new pics and videos soon. I have some old footage and new footage, might be able to make a little mini short sampler soon. I'm working on updated some of the pages, mainly the LINKS, PROFILE, MISC., and RESUME sections. In the mean time, you could check out our productions site at www.openyourmind.ontheweb.com it's still currently under-construction, thanks to Dakin from the MLM Forums for making the layout. I'll be working on updated some of the pages soon. We also have Tony Bounket (aka. Little T) gonna probably do some graphics design for us, thanks man.

01-13-2003 - New sampler up in the VIDEOS section. Check it out now!!! Also Will and I worked with Allen Saulnier (which we met at the Kips) and his productions company YM Island Cinematics on their independent spy series called "Hour 0". We filmed all day on Sunday in the cold at Bellfountain, Ontario in a nice park. I was acting as a location manager, while Will was suppose to play a soldier that got his ass kicked (or killed, can't remember what). But he ended up being too cold by the end of the day and didn't want to do it. WUSSY...lol j/k. I was gonna do it, but I couldn't fit the costume (yes, I'm fat :P). Anyway, we tried to help out anyway we could, and it was a good experience. We will probably be helping out with the rest of the episode, and hopefully get to do more stuff in later episodes once they are written (like acting, stunts, fight choreography, etc).

11-27-2002 - I re-organized and added some more pics to the picture viewer. Check them out in the PICTURES section. I also uploaded some pictures of my niece (Vannalin), you can check them out by clicking here. I also modified the pages slightly to look better at 1024x768 resolution screen. I've made a test site for Openminded Productions, it's just a beta and not fully complete. I'm still playing around with layouts and pics. But you can see what I have so far.

11-18-2002 - I re-captured and edited all the footage I have and made two new samplers. Check them out at the VIDEOS section. I'm still too lazy to make a pictures gallery, so I just made a quick flash picture viewer with ZeoCast. You can check it out in the PICTURES section. The photos are just the same ones used in the flash intro, but I'll be adding more pics soon.

11-08-2002 - Will and I went to the Cambridge Kips Gymnastics Club for the first time on Wednesday and got some pretty cool footage. Will created a sampler in like 15 minutes and turned out pretty good. Go to the VIDEOS section to download.

11-05-2002 - Just added a tag board and modified some of the pages on my site to fit better on the screen. I'm gonna start working on a picture and video page soon.

10-26-2002 - I haven't made an HTML page for the Picture section yet, but there are some uploaded to the folder like this animated gif of my 540 Tornado Kick and some miscellaneous pictures (currently just pictures of family events). You can access the folder by clicking HERE.

10-24-2002 - Updated the Flash Intro with a new song and some new pics. Also, the martial arts fights choreography sampler my friend Will Arndt and I made is online ready for download. Go to the VIDEOS section to download.

07-17-2002 - Updated the Profile section, and finished the Martial Arts Background section. Resume, Misc, Links, and Guestbook will probably be up next.

07-16-2002 - Made a flash intro using ZeoCast. I think it looks really cool, check it out if you can. All the pictures I've used so far were recently shot using my new Sony Digital 8 Camcorder and were taken while I was working at Videoland! ^_^ !

07-15-2002 - Just started making the layout for this website. I'll be adding more pages and information soon.
