Nice photo of myself...haha..there is a time for everything...



first of all, i was surprise that the address look so familiar. Than i notice the photograph on the wall and realised that i took her sister wedding like 5 years ago. Guess what, she got 2 kids already. OMG i feel so old all of sudden.

The reception for video signal for this time was so much better. Wireless signal will vary due to different location with vary disturbance. Its close to 90% signal this time round. We have also add it in another wireless audio device for better audio signal. And the bride get to enjoy the breakfast while watching the games.
Believe that they will have a great wedding celebration .

First of all, its a fun & interesting wedding. Hearing and seeing the talented Ravern in action. Ravern and His boy band singing retro love song. At the same time, we are looking into live video feed for our couples. Its work 70-80 % of the time, sometime due to other disturbance, there will be drop of video signal. Just trying to see how we can use technology to make it more memorable for the lovely couple.

for everyone

Just some moment from Sam & Wynne Pre wedding. Very fun and jovial couple to work with. There is still a lot of place to explore in Singapore. Just need to know where to find the perfect angle and moment.


The lovely couple always smiling and enjoying every moment of their romance together. They even did a pre wedding video filming on their own. And trusted us with the editing of their filming. Love their candid moment and their giggling through out the whole filming. Today is their actual day and finally after all the wedding celebration through out Hongkong, Japan, Macau and finally Singapore.

The game was tough for today. Especially the Kin leong trying to kiss the photo that was stick to the ceiling. They got this culture of breaking the hard boil egg and people was shouting for more babies. Believe that they have a great celebration tonight as well.

Blog EntryEditing Highlight @ a Destination Wedding Oct 7, '09 11:22 PM
for everyone
Honestly, I used to do editing on the fly when we first started like 5 years ago .
Its really stressful and yet when you see the final results on the screen .
The reward is simply speechless.
Now, with shooting in high definition, you need more understanding of the technology .
Currently we have switch to progressive, as we realised that most of our clients
are using LCD. For CRT viewer, i guess its time to move on .
Backing up every simple data is really important.
For the trip, we bring along 2 laptop, 2 harddisk casing, 3 camcorder and 1 dslr
For the 5dmk2,we work with slider and interchange lense option to change
to different perspective for every scene.
HMC 152 and dvx 102 work well together as well.
For audio, having a shotgun and wirelss mic is a must.
I never trusted the sound crew @ event.
better to be safe than to be sorry.
Most of all, Eddy - my most trusted videograper and editor was there to assist me throughout the shoot. Thanks for your help.
Problem with the custom , its always happen for me. Got check for every counter.
Most important a good night rest for the shoot, and always pray for good weather and protection for everyone for the wedding.
oops how can i forgot about my coordinator - i also need a great coordinator and planner like Jamie to help me out on the coordination and planning for the whole shoot.

Blog EntryEditing In HDJul 1, '09 1:28 PM
for everyone
Editing in HD is a tough process. I will always recommend if you are editing on slow processor, you might want to convert in sd format before editing. 

For mac, you can use toast to convert & view your file and edit in Imovie.  if you can afford, fcp is the way to go. CS4 can edit native. but i believe fcp is more stable and reliable. 

For PC user, you can use Edius. its a amazing software from thomson or you can go with adobe as well. 

For viewing purpose, for pc should go with wmvhd, mpeg4 
For mac or pc with quicktime install, h264 is the way to go. the quality of the file is amazing. 

next to touch on HD player and Bluray 

Blog EntryHD Filming and Editing Jul 1, '09 1:23 PM
for everyone
Currently we doing about 30% hd filming and editing. Honestly if you are thinking of getting a hd camcorder for your own edit. a lot of friend and ex couple been asking whats good to get. 

1) dslr ( with video mode ) 
    5dmk2, 500D canon 
    D90, D5000 Nikon

2) Camcorder ( avchd or HDV ) 

if you are asking for advice, i will say that try to stick within your budget, 
if you are always spending on new toy like me, you will get a nagging for your wife as well. 

just some preview about dslr 
Pro - 5dmk2 - an amazing camera with 1080i,40mb/s and interchangeable lense. 
        recently just have firmware upgrade. 
        For still photo, i guess its a gd deal for $3.5k . 
        Video is bonus for this camera. but its video mode produce stunning video as well. 
Cons - For usage or as a main camera, my advice...maybe the D5000 maybe a better choice 
        because of the flip of the LCD is a must for any video shoot. Panasonic is producing a 
        new model GH1 which record in avchd.  

For camcorder - i think will strongly recommend to go with solid state than tape. 
        SDHC is cheap and reliable. My recommendation is go with scandisk for all card. 

Next will be editing
        


Blog EntryPlan for July Jul 1, '09 1:11 PM
for everyone
After a whole month of war, finally i have some time for some personal work . 
no doubt, i still have quite a few editing to do, ok maybe more than a few. 
its a crazy month of shoot and edit. Always wish i was younger, 
and when i look back, i was just how amazed how we started off. 
than God reminded me, Its Me. haha, yeah i agreed. 
Just want to Thanks God for a good weather for all the shoot. 
Especially outdoor wedding...thanks God for sunny weather. 

Plan for July. will be planning to go for some workshop, 
so that you can recharge your creativity energy. 
With the flu issue, i think everyone will think twice about traveling unless 
you have to . Maybe get to spend some time with family & friends.
