MARIE SETIAWAN
Marie Meiling Setiawan (born 20 February, 1986) grew up in Western Sydney while roaming around during her childhood years. She has a background in media and communications from the University of New South Wales and has an insatiable thirst for Asian Cinema and anime. For her Honours degree, she completed a production piece and wrote her thesis “Mukokuseki: A Visual Critique on Japanese Animation”. She is also a freelance graphic designer, visual arts illustrator, and creative writer. On the sidelines, she has a particular interest in studying the “anime” phenomenon and how these creative expressions of youth identities connect and are marketed via social networks, digital media and web 2.0. She also has a sweet tooth, loves flavoured tea, and tends to sing along with the radio when she is driving alone. Currently, she is heavily involved in writing a few projects for television with great expectations. She loves to immerse herself into her writing and her creativity as a whole, whether that is in her design or in her thoughts. She is also interested in the film production field.

Lyrics
Oh he's Taiwanese, starring in movies
He's a kung-fu freak - Jackie Chan is he
If you need a hero, he's gonna be around
If you're a bad guy, he's gonna beat you down

If you're all alone and you're getting whooped
Honey he'll show up, and he'll back you up
He can beat Ralph Machio, or Mr. Miyagi
Jean Claude Van Damme is tough but he can't compete
Jackie Chan is he, he's in your T.V

Oh, he can do a high kick
He can do a roundhouse
He can punch your teeth out
Might be just one guy
Maybe more than ten guys
He'll still get the knockout

'Cuz you know he's got a black belt in Jiu Jitsu
Karate and Kung-Fu, he's magic
He speaks with a cool accent; he's from the orient
Jackie Chan is he, he's in your TV

He's not like Arnold, or those other runts
He takes great pride in doing his own stunts
He leaps off buildings, don't do him no harm
He's broken forty bones in his left arm

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Jackie Chan is fast as lightning

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Jackie Chan is fast as lightning

Oh he's Taiwanese, starring in movies
He's a kung-fu freak - Jackie Chan is he
If you need a hero, he's gonna be around
If you're a bad guy, he's gonna beat you down



Sydney, NSW, Australia - 13th of February, 2010 After considerable thought I (Maria Tran) decided to round up my merry friendship crew to attempt our first weekend experimental project as a part of Quest for Jackie!

This week we attempted what we found out to be a Lip dub this is an online popularity of lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video.

Prior to this and as my research into the social phenomena Chan man, I bumped into this song made by a group called InsideOut from their album Experience online.

So myself and a small fun loving crew of eight had fun collaborating on this ridiculous project.

It definitely pushed my comfort zone. A new experience that can be slightly outrageous beyond what Im use to. It has inspired me to try something different. says Marie Setiawan.

Ive always wanted to be in a music video. Havent as yet so I think its wiser to just home make it. says Maria.

Tips for Lip dubbing:
•Spontaneity: It doesnt look too planned, like someone has pulled the idea out of the blue and their mates together to do it.
•authenticity: Everything about the clips appears real and down to earth
•participation: It not about the lip syncing but more so about the dynamics of the people making the clip
•fun: people in the film are having heaps of fun
Lib dubbing: was coined by the founder of Vimeo by Jakob Lodwick, 2006, in a video entitled Lip Dubbing: Endless Dream.

In the video's description, he wrote, "I walked around with a song playing in my headphones, and recorded myself singing. When I got home I opened it in iMovie and added an MP3 of the actual song, and synchronized it with my video. Is there a name for this? If not, I suggest 'lip dubbing'."
