lets get started with this blog yo..
-
a boy from Banjarmasin, who passionately explore the drum scene all the way to Jakarta.
and that boy has become not just a man, but one of the top drummer in indonesia.
his name is Gusti Hendy,
currently he has 2 major projects, the notorious band : GIGI and LIGRO
long story short,
a meeting was set by a good friend of mine, Okky Rahman..
the agenda was to introduce me to Gusti Hendy.
and from that introduction, without any further effort.. somehow i had gain the 'trust' from him.
the trust which transform the original task, to document a one-day drum lesson, into a much bigger challenge : A DRUM PROJECT.
from a plan involving 3 persons work, into a collaboration project that more than 20 persons are involved.
I hadn't given a chance to show my portfolios, yet this guy somehow trusted me already.
something like this, i believe had already set by the universes
(a bit lebay, but thats what i believe)
can you imagine, just by a quality conversation..
a one digit plan, magically swift into 3 digits project..?!
well, bigger budget comes with bigger responsibility..
and for that I assemble my solid team :
- Okky Rahman (producer)
- Iga Massardi (copywriter)
- IBCN (2nd director, editor)
- Arfianto Nugroho (assistant director)
- Pandita Yudha (line producer)
- Mas Budi and assistants (sound team)
- Mas Soleh and assistant (Lighting team)
- Gina and Mba Atun (make-up)
- Ariel Shomron (line assistant producer)
- Cheche (storyboard artist)
- all the crews
assisted by Salihara's Studio team.

and here's what we've been doing for the last couple of weeks..
