Fourteen "foreign" actors from the Seoul community were brought in for the shoot. I was lucky to be one of them. The shoot took two full days.

They have produced a slew of videos for many celebrities and pop "idols" in Korea including the famous, Psy and my K-pop and musical actor fave, Xia Kim Junsu .      I developed a huge respect for Digipedi after having worked with them.

Upon our arrival our first "job" was to go to the cafeteria and

"Xcalibur" tells the story of the legendary British King Arthur of Camelot.

The fair is the result of the hard work by the organizers; Asia Art Net Committee, Campus Art Fair Committee and the Keumsan Gallery, together with the support of their sponsors and partners.  Many colleges and universities were represented. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the creative art work of the students. There were beautiful visuals in both black and white and in color. Some pieces offered social and political messages and statements. Others used real life daily objects that were transformed into unique art forms. The art forms included painting, printmaking, oriental painting, sculpture and photography.  There is much to be proud of in Korea’s art students. This exhibition proudly represented the enormous talent of K
