Everytime I see Your Bubbly Face
I get the tingles in a silly place ;)
A glimpse!
A glimpse!
Just now my dad asked me if I wanted to come along with him to an offline screening of TV3's Gangstarz Season 2 Promos. He was supposed to check if the agency they hired did what they were supposed to, and give the green-light for the airing of the promos. Sounded pretty cool, so I agreed to go with him.
We went to this place called de Touche, which I assume is the agency name as well. Met this girl / woman called Tasha, if I'm not mistaken. Real nice, real tall, real cool. We were there somewhat early, so we lingered downstairs and chatted about stuff, and turns out she was from KDU as well. And my dad got to talking about photography and how I really am into it, and she asked me if I would be interested in maybe trying out as an intern for them, maybe for a week or two, just to see what it is like. Ah, pretty awesome. Maybe.
Anyway, after a while the rest of the people who were supposed to see the promos also turned up, and we headed upstairs to check them out. It was pretty interesting, listening to them being EXTREMELY ANAL about the promos, about budget and timing constraints, and just about everything else. And it was funny hearing people call my dad Encik Azhar. Hahaha
The staircase area was pretty funky.
So they had to approve some promos for TV, both in English and Malay, radio promos, also in English and Malay, print ads, and also the website. Really, it was like going back and doing my copy writing / advertising subjects all over again. Plus, I found out, being anal is a good thing in this business. Little bits can and do come into play.
People of power deciding over some important matters.
Oh and I saw the invoice of something that my dad had to approve, and the header read McCann and Erickson. Cool. Apparently they have been working with TV3 on Gangstarz since Season 1. Awesome.
They had these old projector-things, with film! Cool gila!
So yeah. I wouldn't mind working in an ad agency actually, looking at what they do, though I'm guessing it's gonna be very hectic and hard trying to keep up with expectations.
:D
