the WEBCAMSERIES
WEBCAM SERIES during Movement Control Order Almost all of us are now affected by COVID-19 and the emergency measures being taken to slow its transmission. Of course, it’s normal to be scared when your future is a little uncertain. Don't be panic. This days shall pass.. and we will remember.
This project start off with Andy’s previous clients, slowly extended to his friends, and those who still even committed to their jobs during MCO period.

“Rather than seeking a silver lining to survive in the midst of MCO period, I took this chance to reconnect with people. Imagine thinking all these moments after years passed, I believe it will be very meaningful to everyone that participate in this event. This project is a documentation of life.” said Andy.

Before the shooting, they will show Andy their home and he will then decide the most suitable angle to carry out the shoot. Recalling one of the funniest moments during the shoot, Andy mentioned there is will always a black-out moment. This happens usually to those friends who don’t have tripod to stand their handphones.
Ong and Min
Unlike normal Zoom calls that mostly uses front camera, Andy suggests his subjects to use the back camera. “I want them to be as natural as they can be, and not to pay too much attention on how they are going to look in the phone.”

Webcam shooting is not as easy as you think. Andy has to direct his subject by telling them through Zoom and screenshot when it hits the right angle. It is even more challenging to him when he is already used to lead his couple through real-life demonstration.
Although the outcomes are not as high-definition as professional camera, the moments are still real.
