IN SINGAPORE – OFF TO VIETNAM!
Hey guys!
Just checking in from Singapore! It’s beautiful, sunny and humid ~ perfect weather! Sorry to everyone struggling the cold back in melbourne!
Today I’m off to Vietnam to begin filming SPINNING DREAMS II with the GoneCyclin Initative. Here’s our support team prepping for the project yesterday in Singapore -
The team will be cycling from Vietnam into Cambodia to raise money for Carpets for Communities (CfC) – we’re aiming for SGD$50 000 !! And I’ll be filming the entire time to capture every moment!
Luckily we’ve been out shopping to stock up some last minute equitpment and gear! This time I’ll be partnered with the UBER talented DOP from San Fransisco and Lutman Films – Michael Lutman! He managed to find a creative way to fix a broken RodeVideoMic which we use as a guide track to sync the audio from our lapels; (Shooting on DSLR – we’ll have 2 H4N Zooms and 2 sets of Sennheiser Lapels) >
We’re pretty excited about the team jersy – which features our lovely Latenite logo:
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to update the blog while I’m away – but I’ll definately have some amazing photography and video to share when we return!
The feature film will be finished by November 2011 – with screenings planned for Singapore and Melbourne!
Other online videos will be released over the coming months so stay tuned!
We are also planning for the ONLINE unveiling of “SPINNING DREAMS ~ in the tour de Timor!” – as a 100% non-profit FREE video to watch online! STAY TUNED!
Love you all, wish me and Michael Lutman luck on the back of the motorbike through Vietnam and Cambodia!
Bring it on!

Update: The Last Few Months
Hey guys!
Sorry I haven’t given you the latest update – however if you’ve been following me on twitter < @Jacqui_Hocking > or facebook recently, you’ll know I’ve been very busy!
This blog post will be short and sweet, because as always, I’m on the road (surprise surprise) so don’t have too much time! But I thought I should fill you in on the latest seeing as I’ve been too hectic to update you all since my screening.
Since our Spinning Dreams Screening – I have been working on the 40 Hour Famine for World Vision! in Timor Leste and Post production here in Melbourne!
I was also Director of Photography on a short film starring Ashley Zuckerman, Directed by the talented Martin Sharpe! (pictured below;)
And was invited to Sydney for the opening night of the Audi German Film Festival!
In February LateNite Films hosted our March to Miami Warehouse Party, I filmed the Sustainable Living Fesitval, and went to the awesome Australian International Documentary Conference! Woah! What a month!
After arriving back from Adelaide, it was back to work on World Vision – and in my spare time managed to attend some Young Editor nights hosted by the ASE.
At AIDC I had the honour of watching an incredible keynote by David Gallo:
I also helped my brother film some Seals for his research at the melbourne Zoo! What a cool job!
Then has some fun with a few random freelance jobs like working on TV show Neighbours, and live VideoHits concert in Melbourne!
I also then shot some really cool events after meeting the team at Inspire9.
and
The month of May was even more incredible – Editing, Shooting, Planning, Editing… woah. At the moment LateNite Films is currently facilitating about 8 independent documentaries – so I’m sure keeping busy!
You’ll have to wait until my next post to find out whats happening in JUNE! Which is just a tiny bit exciting too…

Peace!
