Our First Promo Video !!

07/01/2011

 
After a whole day of the BAAFF committee brainstorming and shooting every scene, we've finally come to an end and give you our final product of our first promo video. We had a lot of fun filming around chinatown. Best part was dancing in front of the Chinatown gate and gather crowds and tourists' attention. I think we had some paparazzi going on too! 

We were even asked by the Chinatown Crime Watch guy to dance in their August Moon Festival. Everyone was so nice.
