Synopsis：
This video was shot from the autumn in 2000 to the same season in 2001. All verbal parts were taken at the night of Halloween on 30th October in 2001,outside the Wonderland Bar owned by a girl, Nan, who assembled all of us to present a rock n roll party in her studio. When it was heating up inside the bar, some were chatting outside in the cool autumn breeze, and I felt myself melting in the studio n went out to take a breath. Then at that very moment I started to take video of the people talking n walking around me with my newly purchased SONY 100 DVCOM. Later I found the image was bit blurred coz I did not know how to use this staff which was totally new to me, but luckily the microphone did a good job coz what they said sounds really clear n funny. By then I had even no idea on how to switch on a computer, not to mention to do a post –editing job, but my friend, WenGuang, helped me get such a monster. My colleague did a thorough research on the guide book n then taught me step by step from the beginning. Finally I finished this 82mins video including all subtitles after 3 month of brainstorming work.
