Meraki Studio: April 2025

THE END

COMING TO AN END...

After stressful days and sleepless nights while stripping every ounce of energy in my body and brain, I can't believe it is all going to end on just a slow, beautifully sunny saturday morning. This journey did more to my adrenaline than any rollercoasters on this planet ever will (can't confirm this because I actually have a fear of this activity). Nonetheless, it was an extremely memorable experience, created opportunities of bringing my friends and I together. So to mark this day, I'd like to introduce you to some core moments:

Numerous hours spent at my favorite coffee shop (they have the best matcha latte).

Eating with crew members after filming:

My mom buying me the "entire pharmacy" when I said that I was sick from staying up until 2AM every night:

Getting an ipad from my parents: P/s. My parents were so supportive throughout the year!

"You can't tell if someone studies Media just by looking at them!"

Me:

Thank You for following my journey, it has been a great

pleasure of mine to share what I've learned and hopefully entertain you:)

DIRECTOR INTERVIEW:

I was inspired by the black & white interviews from W Magazine for the method of producing the sequence.

As a result, I came up with my own magazine company: S Magazine

The "S" stands for "Su" with is my nickname at home - only my family and close relatives call me by this name, making it so much more personal to me. I consider this my alter ego ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა. In this video, I will be going over a little background information of the establishment of Meraki Studio as well as briefly about the representations and social issue of Everything Comes To You.

Behind the scenes: this was my friend Mi. I used a black backdrop to mimick the setting from the W Magazine interview. It wasn't as matte as I would like it to be. However, the results still came out much better than I expected with a vintage, yet classy theme.

YOUTUBE VLOG:

Vlogging has always been a hobby of mine, even though I'm not really public about my vlogging content. In the footage below, you'd be following a typical morning routine + "get ready with me for the day" while I discuss further into representations and social issues of the opening sequence.
