As I still consider myself young, my influences maybe aren’t as far reaching as many yet I seek influence from all around me. I look for innovation and originality but taht can only come from having a knowledge of that which is already around. My initial favourite films when I was a mere student at school was Robert Rodriguez’ ’From Dusk Til Dawn’ and Michael Bay’s ’Bad Boy’s. These are the two films that set me on my way to film making.
Since then I have adopted an eclectic array of references through many genres, styles and producers. I however still hold close to heart films such as Pulp Fiction [Quentin Tarrantino], LOTR [Peter Kackson], Momento [Christopher Nolan], Kung Fu Hustle [Stephen Chow], Scream [Wes Craven] and Fight Club [David Fincher]. I have also been influenced by TV Dramas such as 24, Heroes, House, Lost, Prison Break and Friends which all seemed to be as addictive as drugs.
A good visual piece in my opinion should have a good claer message no matter how complicated the narrative may be. The mood and aesthetic should be clear and the characters should draw you in so at the end of the film you are not only buzzing but also wish it didn’t have to finish.
Andrew Bama 的興趣
一般
My interests are broad. I am always looking for ways in improving my own and others lives through personal development and knowledge and then the sharing of these experiences with others. I'm hungry for knowledge and willing to spend the time to gather it. My current interests include getting a spanish tongue, expanding my knowledge of cooking, studying religions, as well as devloping my film practice and nurturing my business.
Sportswise I am a keen pool player and also enjoy a game of basketball.
音樂
Music in film is extremely important as it in itself creates a mood, an atmosphere unrivalled by the visual.
My taste in music is probably even more eclectic than my taste in film. I settle my favourite music in the genre of RnB and Hip Hop which I feel oozes great culture. But I also favour elements of pop, rap, classical dance and even the UK based House and Garage scence from the late nineties.
關於我： Initially conceived in 1998, A Methodworks Production was established as a bedroom production name for Andrew David. At that point studying Media Studies at A Level, he knew he had to have a tag to put to his work, and the title just seemed to fit, after all if the method works why change it? Since then he has gone onto University and completed a Degree in Video Production and a Masters in Real Time Media Communication taking part in many productions and making one successful documentary himself. In 2006, Methodworks Produced it's first official documentary entitled 'Tales from the Legend'.
Methodworks Production is in its infancy taking the baby steps to build a solid foundation and reputation in film production and directing to ensure a positive and prosperous future.
Andrew BaMa is a person like no other with a philosophy on life which bleeds into his film work. Methodical and highly organised, focused with an eye for quality and a high level of detail he is a true all rounder homing his talents. A good Producer/Director after all has experience in all other areas.
我想認識： My focus is now on networking. If you have a skill which you believe is unrivalled, if you have potential dying to get out, if you have way of life and working style of high standards that you can't seem to find anywhere else, get in contact. If you have an idea and don't know where to take it, if you have a dream and don't know where to begin, lets talk.
I want to meet filmmakers, producers, script and screenplay writers, musicians, sound engineers, lighting specialists, artists, actors, and anyone else who fits into this category. Successful people prosper from being around other successful people and in this cut throat indutsry it's about time we all started working together.
Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ... what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...
but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...
it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ... its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...
what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...
please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
