• VIDEO: Kai Story (new widescreen version: 6 minutes, English-subtitled)
UPDATE (5/20): streaming에 문제가 있다는 꽤 많은 분들의 지적이 있어서, 새로 렌더링을 해서 file size를 과감히 줄였습니다. (그 대신에 화질을 고려해서 전체화면 보기 버튼은 비활성화시켰습니다.) 제 생각에는 broadband로 접속하시는 분들은 실시간으로 보시는데 이제 별 문제가 없을 것 같습니다만, 혹시 여전히 streaming 문제를 발견하시면 댓글로 좀 알려주세요.
지난 2007년 가을, Kai 돌잔치에서 절찬리에 상영되었던 slide show입니다. 원래 카이 돌잔치에서 상영할 성장비디오는 석사논문 프로젝트를 할 때 비디오 편집 경험이 있었던 Boyeon이 만들기로 했었습니다. 하지만, 당시 품 안의 카이와 뱃속의 테이트를 함께 돌보느라 컴퓨터 앞에 앉을 시간적+정신적 여유가 없었던 Boyeon은 결국 돌잔치를 며칠 앞두고 두 손을 들고 맙니다.
그렇다고 성장비디오를 포기하자니 아쉬움이 너무 큰 Boyeon을 위해, 결국 June이 이 중차대한 과업을 떠맡는데, June은 그동안 찍어둔 사진들을 급히 추려서, 출퇴근 버스에서 스토리를 구상하고, 평소 즐겨듣는 음악 중에서 배경음악을 고르고... 결국 돌잔치 전날 밤에서야 Kai Story가 완성됩니다.
다행스럽게도 이 슬라이드쇼는 관객들의 열광적인(?) 반응을 이끌어내고, 감동을 받은 Boyeon의 눈물샘을 자극하기까지 하는 등 큰 성공을 거둡니다. :)
그런데 이번에 Tate 돌잔치에서 상영할 비디오를 편집하다가 오랜만에 Kai Story를 다시 보니, 역시 급하게 만든 티가 나더군요. 군데군데 아쉬운 구석이 눈에 뜨이길래, 조금 다듬어서 mp4 비디오 형식으로 새로 만들어 보았습니다. 스토리와 대부분의 사진은 변함이 없고, 몇 군데 표현을 다듬고, 사진 몇 장을 새로 넣었습니다. 배경음악도 처음 것 그대로인데, 음악과 사진의 조화를 좀 더 살리는 쪽으로 디테일을 다듬었습니다. 가장 큰 변화는 HD 와이드스크린 영상으로 만들었다는거. 카이 돌잔치에 참석했던 한글을 모르는 몇몇 친구들을 고려해서 영어로 자막을 만들었던 첫 버전과 마찬가지로, 이번 것도 영문자막이 들어갑니다.
한편, Kai Story의 후속편인 Tate Story는 6월에 열릴 테이트의 돌잔치에서 World Premiere 상영을 마친 후, 이 블로그에 공개될 예정입니다. 기대하시라, 개봉박두!
June designs in New York City. His graphic design works have received lots of awards and been showcased in publications and exhibitions in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
In his earlier days in Seoul, he used to be a medical student, played a cello in an orchestra and participated in protests against dictatorship.
June likes iced coffee, black jack, typography, democracy, TV series Lost and Puccini’s operas and
he also enjoys traveling to the places he's never been to.
June believes he is agnostic and it is the most humble and rational way about religion.
He hopes the world to be the place where people can live more peacefully as well as less unjustly than now. And he lives with his wife and two sons.
Boyeon was born and grew up in Seoul and now lives by the Hudson river in New Jersey with her husband and two sons.
She studied computer programming as well as programming-based design and used to work as a programmer.
However, she is so busy these days in taking care of two boys that she cannot find enough time to even open her e-mails everyday.
Boyeon likes ice creams, Korean rice cakes, Klimt’s oil paintings and Michael Mann’s 1995 film Heat and
she also enjoys traveling culturally-distinctive places like southern Europe.
Boyeon is a perfectionist and has amazingly good memory. She easily shed tears, has an acute sense of taste and is a good cook.
Kai was born on October 19th, 2006 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June’s first son and it was 20 years after his parents first met in their junior high.
Now he is Tate's big brother.
His blood type is RH A+, his horoscope is libra and his zodiac is dog.
Kai is a Hawaiian origin word that means ‘ocean’ and also has a meaning of ‘willow tree’ in native American language.
His middle name is Haon, which has a concept of “True happiness can be found in small things of everyday life.”
It includes June and Boyeon’s wish for him to be a happy person who can find joy and meaningfulness even from small things around him.
These days Kai goes to a preschool and sometimes surprises Mom and Dad by saying very difficult words.
Kai turns three in this fall.
Tate was born on June 2nd, 2008 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June's second son as well as Kai's brother.
His horoscope is Gemini and his zodiac is rat, and his blood type is RH A+, which is what all of his family have.
The word Tate means ‘cheerful’ and has an old English origin.
His middle name is from a Korean pronunciation of a Chinese character 濬, which has a meaning of profound; to make a waterway by digging a river deep.
Tate’s name includes his parents’ wish for him to be a happy, cheerful person who also has depth in his life.
Now He walks well and tries everything his brother does. He doesn't get scared of new things.
Tate is in the second year of his life.
