Music video is something new from Six Hearts (6HS)

As mentioned yesterday, SBS Transit will extended their own existing route which was re-introduced back in 1990 from Lorong 1 Geylang to Kallang Park for fans to the Singapore Indoor Stadium, to Tanjong Rhu from 8 June 2014, read this previous post here.

Just like Service 119 (in case you missed it on 21 Oct 2012), every scene will be shot. All members from this band will be involved in the making of this music video, and two years ago, Service 119 was extended to start at Punggol from Sengkang previously. One bus stop kena skipped will be made as a change.

Here's how the video was made:

• Using iPad Air
• Edited via iMovie
• Adding one of the music which is requested by one of the members of Six Hearts (6HS)
• Adding a finishing touch
• Sending it to 987TV
• Feature one of the buses on Services 11 and 119 (which are affected by the route extensions)
• Proudly produced by 987TV, twitter.com/JustinTanWC and usabrownworld.tumblr.com

Hope you will enjoy something from me (who's Justin Tan Wen Cong), Hardy Bin Jaa'far, Josiah Kiang, Jason Ong, Sean Bay, and others. To have more, visit my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/user/DJCitaroproductions
