Stuck


Bike Rentals?

This is a video advertisement for a bike rental company.

Enough said PLEASE press play... and enjoy.

Dubstepping

I don't get why he chose this background for this performance nor did I understood why he stole the inception script and neither did I appreciate this cinematography skills.

What I do know is that he's got mad...Dubstep?

Anyway...check him out

To Tie a Tie

In this perfect video it will show you the simple steps on the knot of a tie.

This is the first video that I think will embed in my head every time I think of how to tie the tie.

Unfortunately this is a private video so I couldn't pump it to the normal frame size I usually do in my blog :(

People get drunk so they can act like babies?

Visionary

Everybody knows Steve Jobs was a great man.

But what did he exactly do? How did he do it?

This Doco shows you the mindset of the innovators of our time and how he became a college hippie to one of the most influential man on earth.

Mr. Karl Lagerfeld

One of the most influential men in the fashion industry.

I haven't studied his work yet but with the amount of attention around him and his work I am certain he is one of the most talented in his field.

In this video he drops a few words of advise on how to be creative, inspiring and innovative in the 21st century.

Take notes.

Japanese Skate Culture

Footage from the Daisuke Takahashi's DVD "Subspecies".


Japanese can always pull off new ways to approach things and its definitely shown in this skateboarding video. Some of their stunts might not be as dangerous (jumping off 10 feet ledges) but the difficulty in the skill is extremely high.


The amount of creativity they have is amazing and I am surely jealous!!!


Maybe living in Japan for a few years to absorb some of their creative juice haha.



The Death Set - Can You Seen Straight?

When I watch this video I wasn't aware it was a music video. I thought it was a documentary with music in the background.

I think the video was well shot and edited, and the audience is consumed by the busy life of the protagonist. It looks realistic and lively unlike most of the music videos today where they portray the "party" life of the musician pretending how much fun, drugs and woman they have in their lives.

It makes me wanna experience what they are living hahahha.

Back in Men

MiB is black on the block baby!!!

One of the influential pop culture movies of our time is back.

By the looks of the trailer it doesn't feel right, it doesn't have the same aesthetics as the original nor the sequel.

The quality of the images though is greatly improved. The pictures are so defined that it doesn't link me back to the old Men in Black.

Is it still a must see in cinema? I have to say... yes but I might be disappointed.

Dreams

Some people work for money, some people work for interest.

In my opinion, only pursuing your dream can you become the very best of who you are.

Snowboard Epic

This was planned to be the most professionally filmed snowboard epic movie that's gonna hit the cinema pretty soon.

What do you think?

God of Sushi

A documentary about the man whose on the peak of the art of sushi and still climbing.

His sushi presentation looks very mouth watering already. Unfortunately I didn't visit this place when I was in Tokyo. I hope some of you who might visit will go there to check it out.


Man with Style

The contributor in the US GQ's "The Style Guy" is Glen O'Brien.

He has been one of the most stylish men in New York dishing out advises to all the men on men's fashion.

This is a short interview in his very own house.

Out of Print

In my opinion, one of the BEST short films I've ever seen in my life.

This was shown to me when a guest speaker came to our film lecture to talk about film festivals.

This is a must see for those whose missed or lived in the pre-internet era

(Full screen to get the full effect)

Household Architecture

Using many house found objects these guys were able to make a few iconic building miniatures.

Very creative and a clean, well thought out  presentation.

Wave slowly

Capturing waves in 1000 & 1500 frames per second this is truly something to admire in awe.

It just instantly cools you down as you feel your fingertips striding along the waves, tasting the fresh sea salt the tongue and the cool air that passes through your whole body.

It's as if time stops and you have the moment to enjoy what your living through and the beauty that surrounds.

Digital Art Gallery

Leo Caillard presents a series of photographs called the "Art Game". It is basically a blend of art and technology.

Should it be more friendly to everyone and share art on the internet?

It all seems too casual for me and disrespecting fine arts into another pass time leisure.










 What do you think?

Stussy - Raif Adelberg

Streetwear brand Stussy collaborates with Raif Adelberg to release exclusive knitwear to Stussy stores in Canada.

But who is Raif Adelberg???




Nick Wooster has also specifically recommended Raif Adelberg line of knitwear in his interviews.

Rollerbalding

Remember the old days where people Rollerblade by the beach listening to their cassette tapes?

I don't think any of us lived in that era... anyway

I think I've posted way too much skateboard videos so I'll post a Rollerblade video now.

It's got tilt-shift & time lapsing techniques which is pretty awesome.

Enjoy

The Street is Talking: Intro

Every wondered what happens if you take a video camera everywhere when you go out?

This is what you might capture yourself.

Shooting Zombie Boy

Zombie Boy (Rick Genest) did a series of shots for Schon Magazine

It's nice to see how his tattoos are played along with fashion, how it can be more expressive when worked well with clothes.

Shots by Mathew Lyn.

MAISON KITSUNÉ

Kitsune invented this new ad for their Spring Summer 2012 line. It's fun and interesting.


I was mostly concentrating on the left side of the screen...GO DOROLES!!!


Marriage

A nicely done Point of View video that raises the discussion of marriage.

Is it time?

Gravis Ad

This skateboard video puts a little bit more effort on the video quailty and techniques.

Time-lapsing + Wide Angles.

In the middle of Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan they cruise the streets... I want to be a skater now... lol

Globe Ad

Sex Sells

That's what a lot of brands understands.

I'm starting to like the brand Globe

Bike Lights

My front ones stuffed up so I might buy some like these or get camera flashes so i can use it as bike flash as well lol.

Minimalistic

Life is flooded with advertisements. Beautiful, colourful graphic designs to lure you into their product.

But to me, sometimes the simplest things are more beautiful don't you think? Like a lady without clothes...

Here are some examples that some products can do to minimise themselves.

Unfortunately being minimal might not work effectively in the market...

Di Di Disney Reeeeeemixxx

Disney Music just got an update.

This video they creatively re-edit the scenes from Snow White to produce a remixed soundtrack from their sound effects & dialogue audio.

Pretty cool if they play this when I go clubbing lol.

Emerging Actor

Mr. Michael Fassbender

He has been in a lot of great films in these past years and I predict he is soon to be one of the best actors in the industry. He has starred in 300 , Inglourious BasterdsX-Men: First Class 

This is his upcoming next film: Shame

This film will be viewable in Sydney on 9th February 2012. I'm excited.

iPhone 4S

The latest technology...

I hear more bad stories than useful ones with these smart phones...

Signature Photos

There's a lot of people into photography these days. Amateurs, professionals, enthusiasts, hipsters, etc

Everybody tries to find some sort of signature style into their photos or work out a formula that works for them. 

Kai Ziehl has his own style. Working with Black and White he deals with the symmetry around us. The patterns that we might not notice in the world around us.

They are pretty amazing check them out.

Wanted Skill

After looking at this video I REALLY wanna learn sewing and garment making!!!

Unfortunately my home is waaay too small for these kind of assignments to happen. Imagine if I could just wear everything custom made for myself, it would be perfect. I can make that jacket I've always dreamt of and many other menswear!!!



Don;t you think cranking up the speed makes everything looks so easy? It looks like I could've done that myself in two hours!!! lol

Skate Film

A lot of the skate videos you see on YouTube, Vimeo... etc is made by skaters. All filmed just to purely show off the sick tricks they pull off and show you some of their "cool lifestyle" and stuff them all in like a 4min mix tape of hardcore skating.

Watch this trailer to feel the difference of professional film makers.

Ben Sherman Conversations

Ben Sherman is putting two artists in two different fields together in a room and force them to wear their clothes (which isn't bad at all) and make them talk to each other about modernism and how they work their craft.

I picked to show Part: 2 to you cause it's got a photographer, and musicians are always interesting anyway. So hope you guys get inspired by some of their talks and admire some menswear along the way. lol

The blue shawl cable knit looks pretty fine to me. Christmas is near and I'm a size Small for Ben Sherman :)

Cheat Perfume


I know most of us aren't married et but this can be useful? for men in the future. It's a perfume that spray a smell that covers up other fragrances and make it your excuse to your partners. For example the "My car broke down" will make you smell like grease, oil, and rusty metal. So remember which one you bought and think of your story before you make that phone call or walk into your house.

Hyper Realism

If Tjalf Sparnaay is called Mega Realism then this guy is Hyper Realism

Paul Cadden uses graphite and pastel to sketch extreme realistic drawings of people and place.

Although the graphite drawings are more realistic, the pastel has more emotions to it in my opinion.
