Dear Sketch Crews,
First of all, thank you for participating in the sketch show of Talent Time February 2011. I have a few words for all of you.
The sketch was started a bit late so everything also needed to rush. The story, finding the actors, the props and all other things were very last minute. However, I'm so impressed by the commitments of director , the narrator and all the actors put in. One week, we did it within one week. To be exact, excluding all the ice breaking time, flow discussion, time loss for coming late and stuffs, the actual practice duration is less than one week. However, you guys still able to make the sketch a success one in such a short period. I'm so impressed with you guys' performance and commitment towards the sketch.
The first time we met for the practice, all of you were not even friends, i can imagine how awkward all of you were during the first practice. Your were not able to express yourself well on the first day because of that. We were so worried so gave you guys some pressures. We should be more considerate because it's normal to feel weird to work with strangers that you just met. The committees would like to apologize for that.
One day before the event, before the rehearsal, while director and me were busy with other stuffs, you all knew what you had to do, and started to make the boxes, and painted them. There were altogether 6 boxes!!!That really required a lot of efforts to paint. Your friends too, volunteered to help us to do the props. The outfit for trees that you all made were very nice and cute.Your efforts, we all see them in our eyes, and we deeply appreciate it.
During the rehearsal, many problems occurred, technical problems, the background setting
problems and all sorts of problems suddenly appeared to interrupt our rehearsal, but these things didn't bring your spirit down. You guys didn't give up and instead contributed to solve the problems. I knew that you guys were so tired, some of you including Joseph Lam and Kaili Yip were at the hall since the early morning till the next morning 3am, but you guys didn't complain and insisted to practice with the props once more before you all were back to rest. At that moment when you guys were rehearsing, I really felt touched and honestly, tears nearly dropped from my eyes.
On the event day morning, you guys came earlier than anyone else, skipped lot of classes to practice for the last time(I know that you don't care about the exemption for classes.). I knew that you guys were so nervous before the show but you guys knew that you were ready to perform. And at last, we were able to finish the sketch, with praises and applause by the audience and the organizing committees. You guys had proven to me that you guys are capable,
committed, responsible and so good at acting (can consider to join the entertainment industry in the future.).
Bell and Catherine - the fruits and squids dealers, and Adrian - the granny, I felt regret for cancelling your role at the very last minute. You all have joined us for practices but not able to to perform on the event.Although you guy didn't perform on the event but I take you guys as part of the team. I appreciate your participation in the sketch show. And also for that matter, i sincerely apologize to three of you.
Our director -Wong Jun Xian, had definitely put in the most efforts than anyone else. He knew that he won't be around on Saturday but he still took up the job to lead the team. He could choose to walk away and wash his hands off of these troublesome things but he did not. Furthermore, I didn't hear a simple word of complaint from him throughout the process of preparation. He successfully transformed the simple story that I wrote into actions, seperated the story into scenes and then make it to become an amazing sketch show. The commitment fr
om him is as huge as the committee's. In my heart, he is already an organizing committee. He certainly deserve a special thanks from all the organizing committees.
Lastly, on behalf of all committees of Talent Time February 2011, I would like to express my gratitude towards your contribution to the success of this event.
Thank you, Wong Jun Xuan (Director)
