Looks promising.
But I don't know.
Why?
And more whys.
Should I?
Or Shouldn't I?
Hmmm...
This is very hard to decide.

At first, I wanted to post it here as an entry, but I don't know which category to put it. So, I've uploaded it to YouTube and just go to the link below to see the video for yourself.

UPDATE:
Our entry at Citra Pariwara was for the non conventional / innovative media category, along with 50 other entries. We made it into the short list (the only one in the list) and we came home with a bronze statue. Yiiiipppeeeeee!!!

However, when we think about the word "award",
the first thing that probably comes up in our head is a trophy.

In the advertising industry that I'm currently dwelling in,
there are many kinds of awards too.
Yet, what appeals to me the most is, of course, the award in creativity of making an ad.
New York Ad Festival, Clio, and AdFest just to name a few.

Here in Indonesia, we've got that kind of award show too.
The name is Citra Pariwara, which was held a couple of days ago.
This is probably the most prestigeous creative ad award show in the country.

This year, we took part in sending some entries.
A couple of them were the works of me & my team mates.
They are two TVCs for Special Olympics Indonesia.
Both entries got chosen as finalists.

Alas, we didn't win.
Somehow, I knew that there were some 'glitches' in the TVCs.
However, I am happy and proud of myself because this is the first time
that I've ever competed in an ad award show.
I also feel thankful and proud for the team; This is their work too.

I also want to thank 25 Frames (Mr Reza & Mr Helmi)
and also appologise for being such a pain in their asses.
Thank you to Mr Egi from Egg Studio for making an original score.
Thank you to many others whom I can't mention here.

Thank you so much! ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/6354138/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/6354138/ Sun, 28 Aug 2005 19:40:15 PDT
There was an opening for Final Artwork Artist at Semut Api Colony. I didn't apply for the job, but I got a call from Lani, one of the AE there. She told me to come for an interview and also to bring my portfolios and other legal stuff. I was a bit confused since I was never applying for the job, but then again who cares. It was a good opportunity. However, it took me 3 days to get a full interviews and that's exactly what I'm going to share with you all.

First day, total bummer! Super heavy traffic jam and I've no single clue on where exactly the place is. I've got the address but the pointers were no good. Plus, the cab driver seldom went to Jakarta, he usually operates in Tangerang only. Two spins, several phone calls, still no clue. That sucks! So I asked for a reschedule and I've got one for the next day.

Second day. I've finally found the address. I met with the Associate Creative Director there. His name is Riefky Sutedja. We had a good conversation and he's kinda interested in my portfolios. He told me that they would contact me ASAP at a maximum of 1 week period. That is only if I can fit in to their needs. I've no problem with that. And in the afternoon, I got contacted again and they told me to come for a second interview on the next day. Gee... That was fast.

Third day. I met with the Creative Director - Budi Santoso, Executive Creative Director - Cecilia Law, and The Owner himself - Dani Wirianto. The 3 on 1 interview went nicely. Dani and Cecil were really impressed with my work while Budi didn't talk much. Dani left the room as he was saying, "I like it! I'll see you soon". Later, Cecil told me that they would hire me but not as an FA Artist. She said that it would be a waste of my talents. Then I said, "I see. Perhaps, I can be a (Graphic) Designer then?". But she said, "Designer? No. You're going to be an ART DIRECTOR!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My dream job came true. Wow! Now what scares me that I was expecting to be a Jr Art Director first before going for Art Director. I am very much clueless to what the hell am I going to do.

LOL! I guess that just how things are when you're so excited. ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/5972704/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/5972704/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 22:16:41 PDT Well, anyway I've got new portfolios that I'd like to share with you all. I hope you can enjoy them.

Cheers! ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/4276368/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/4276368/ Sun, 09 Jan 2005 09:12:19 PST
That was the project that I've been working on these past couple of weeks. So, I hope you guys watch the show and give me comments about them. Note that me & my team worked on the comedy skits and the TVC spoofs only.

Well..., that's all for now! ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/4108767/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/4108767/ Mon, 20 Dec 2004 07:22:42 PST
Directing. That's my other goal besides Art Director. It's becoming a chalange to prove that locals CAN BE as good as those directors in Thailand. My juniors' projects (too much "s"? who cares) has helped me tweak my long forgotten senses for directing. So far, I'm doing good.

As for scriptwriting. Those of you who lived in Indonesia might already know about the upcoming 'divorce' between MTV and Global TV. If I'm not mistaken, each will have their own channel next year. Global TV wants to make an entertainment program ala Extravaganza (airing on Trans TV) but not Extravaganza. Therefor, they asked Broadcast Design Indonesia (BDI) to make such program. Me and some friends were offered the job. We took it!

So far, we've made 4 comedy scripts and 1 TVC spoof per episode, and the contract was for 4 episodes. Like other creative business, we've came upon some troubles. One of them was, Buntario (chief of the BDI clan) wants to have the scripts done in his way. Did I lost you? Well, first Buntario wanted a strong script-based comedy scenes. Later, at the end of the meeting, he wanted the casts to improvise from the scripts. Me & the team crosses our fingers now, hoping that Buntario won't mess the scripts too much. Most people said that his comedy projects (TV programs & films) are not as good as the reviews. Anyway, just for the info, in short, we wrote the scripts, they did the executions.

Oh well... Time to do some more scriptwriting. ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/3539797/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/3539797/ Fri, 08 Oct 2004 04:39:53 PDT
This Extension Classes that I'm having in college are really boring. The one and only class that I can dig in is the Pengantar Iklan (Preview to Advertising - i think that's the translation). I was beginning to think that I've taken the wrong major. I should've entered the Advertising Major rather than the Mass Communication Major. But here I am and surely it would be a big waste of time and money if I should resign and enter Ad Major next year. So there's no going back!

At first I planned to also get a job so that I can work and can still attend my classes. It's been almost 6 months since I first look for a job, but I got none yet. I sent applications as either Graphic Designer or Art Director / Junior Art Director. So far I got an interview at DDB Brainstorm (ad agency), TYA Indonesia (creative boutique), and in consideration of Cabe Rawit Communications (ad agency). Not bad some of you might say. Yet I'm still a student with no source of income.

Today I've came to the decision of not giving too much hope to work in the advertising world. So I applied to MTV Indonesia and JakTV, in hope that they'll be a bit easier to get since I have the related studies before. I hope they'll have me.

All and all, I won't say 'I quit!' even if the fat lady sing (I'll just shove something down her throat ). Well guys, that's about it from me on this journal update. See you all next time.

I need a job... and I need it real bad. ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2753754/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2753754/ Mon, 28 Jun 2004 08:22:06 PDT
Be back real soon, I hope. Wish me luck, boys and girls!


PS: I've managed to make a logo design for a cafe. I will put it here later. ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2526704/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2526704/ Fri, 28 May 2004 06:26:15 PDT ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2519628/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2519628/ Thu, 27 May 2004 08:31:00 PDT ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2493549/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2493549/ Sun, 23 May 2004 20:38:50 PDT ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2487426/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2487426/ Sat, 22 May 2004 23:59:18 PDT The dress code is "modern". I think it means that the guy will have to wear a suit. Mine's already worn out, so I'm just going to wear the black shirt. It goes along with her red gown (she's going to look sexy in that gown. ). After the wedding party, we'll have a couple of hours just for the both of us

Yesterday, we went to the local salon. She had a pedicure and manicure thingy, I think they got something to do with the fingers. I got a hair cut. Well, let's hope nothing bad happens until tonight.

C ya later, guys! ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2480647/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2480647/ Fri, 21 May 2004 23:17:37 PDT
3 PM. The counter re-opened. I ask the clerk for a form. He said, "Which major?" The brochures told me that there's only one form for all major and I should make my choice on that form. I ask again and he still won't gave me one instead he gave me a brochure which I already have.

Since there's people on the queue so I backed away from the counter for a while. I looked at the brochures again, think deeply on which major should I take, then I went back to the queue line. I'm the 2nd person on that line, but the person in front of me took too much time just to buy a form. 15 minutes later, it was my turn. It was a different clerk. I said "1 form on communication department." and he took the money and gave me the form. That's it... &R!H*#!@!!!

Then off I go to ITKP to find out more specific infos. It took me almost an hour to get to a place that should took less than that. Darn traffic! At ITKP, the customer service gave me brochures for the diploma program and the degree program. I asked for the extension one and he gave me the training course program brochures. GD&*!#HD@!!!

I left ITKP with dissapointment. Looking at my watch it was almost 5 PM and I was starving. So I took a bajaj to Pondok Indah Mall. On the way, the bajaj had over than 5 times break downs. D&@*#Y&E@!!!

I switched bajaj and got myself to PIM. I went straight to Bakmi GM and get my stomach full. Aaah... that was nice. I planned to go home by Pakuan train which left from Sudirman train station at 7.20 PM. I looked at my watch and it told me to better hurry up.

I left PIM and get myself a cab. Dang! No cab. I walked across the road to get me a cab from the other side. Done, there's a Blue Bird besides the road. I got in and said "Sudirman train station please. Can you get me there before 7.15? I got a train to catch." The driver said he'll try to do his best. There's something odd about him, he drove rather slow and didn't make 2 turns that should made me arrived faster. YD*EHJ*@Y!!!

I stoped the cab at Ratu Plaza. Then I took the BusWay to Stasiun Kota. I got there on time. I rushed to the tiket box and bought my ticket home. I asked which train and the departure time, the officer at the ticket box said: "Lane 11 and 12, leaving at 9 PM." I looked at the lanes, there's no train yet. So I waited at the bench. It seems that there were people that going to take the same train.

Suddenly the speaker yelled out: "Lane 9. Last train to Bogor will leave immidiately. All passangers aboard." OMGWTF!!! I rushed to catch that train. It was starting to move as I reached its door. HD!#IPEH*@JX@!!!

Well, I got home safely though. What a day... ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2466411/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2466411/ Wed, 19 May 2004 22:22:05 PDT ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2458906/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2458906/ Tue, 18 May 2004 20:37:11 PDT ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2445544/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2445544/ Mon, 17 May 2004 03:41:30 PDT

the thing is that i won't be able to managed my time between work and studies (i'm planning to go back to college). the place where i applied is actually much more further than i've expected, kemayoran ke bogor & depok jauh banget gila! the other part of my hesitation is that after i count my expenses, i would've get perhaps less than i'm making now at my current office.

oh well, that one's out. now i'll wait for a call from MRA (cosmo, fhm, cosmo girl) for the 2nd interview. i still haven't heard anything from JakartaTV, Semut Api Colony & all those ad agency that i've applied. Maybe I'll try contacting my old friend at the movie production house at Blok M. Who knows, maybe he got a job for me too. huhuhu... teah ngarep bgt! ]]> ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2438286/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2438286/ Sun, 16 May 2004 01:26:53 PDT ~gorboman http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2438021/ http://gorboman.deviantart.com/journal/2438021/ Sun, 16 May 2004 00:08:41 PDT
I did some of my personal info. Not sure when will I finished it. I tried submitting my Ad Resume, I think it worked fine. Looking at some work in one of my friends' page. And now adding a journal entry.

Hmm, pretty nice function for an Art Director wannabe like me. I think I should go back focusing for my interview this monday. Yikes! I've never thought that job interviews can pump this much of adrenaline into me.

Btw, welcome to my page. It's not much but I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. Feel free to look around. C ya! ]]> ~gorboman
