Skydiving Season?

My bunch of friends went skydiving recently, I saw one of their video taken by the supervising diver using the Go Pro and I was jealous and frightened.

I made a bet with my friend that whoever wins in 2013's City2Surf the loser pays for others' skydiving fee. First of all.. I've never ran more than 3km in my life...why would I think I would win her in the first place... Secondly I don't have an extra $600 to cover both of our expenses if we lose... Thirdly... Why did I want to skydive???!!!

Anyway... I dug up this old video I saved from Vimeo about skydiving. Using slow motion, calming music... I wonder if the divers do get that sense of calmness rather than blood pumping adrenaline with multiple times of experience...


Mediating in the sky would be like nirvana...

Creative Projects

I always talk about how it's not how much you spend, but how creative you are.

What you need:
  • Two white walls
  • One white floor
  • One projector
Who you need:
  • Animator
  • Cameraman
  • Actor
That's it, the basic set up. See how others creativity just flies off!!!

Although this one done previously, but it doesn't mean it's not creative!!!



Here's what really happened.... Click READ MORE

Spring Breaking

Well Spring is already here and the temperature is rising...very slowly.

Did anyone get a chance to the snow this year? I didn't....

If you're like me then this video can sum up that weekend for you. Snowboard is the way to go!!!

Very nice typography, they definitely knew what they were doing with the video. Bringing the right ND filters to get incredible shallow depth of field in the white, overexposed world. Nice colour grading and I "think" they added the snow flakes for the nice snow falling effect.

I'm very jealous now...lol

Bloody Children's Hospital

Just the right mix of seriousness and comedy I'd say.

Do you agree?

I wish I could have the props and stage they have so I can have a "blood fight" as well. Throwing blood bombs and getting my arms pumped for action lol.

Here's a lovely video to show you the seriousness of the annual blood drive.

Photo Bloggers to Vloggers

Photo blogging, particularly fashion photography blogging has been extremely popular over the past years and is continuing to grow all over the world.

Blogs such as The Satorialist from New York, Garance Dore from Paris/New York and Men in this Town from Sydney have developed a very solid fan base of followers that check out their websites daily searching for fashion trends and tips.

One of the trends though, is happening within the blogs. More of these bloggers are attempting to post and create videos for their content. Although having their own background in photography they sometimes hire or make the video themselves.

I don't know their reasons behind making videos for their website, but it is definitely exciting for me because it seems that the online video market is growing and we see more and more people demanding to create videos for their websites.

Although the film industry might be dying, the video industry in my opinion is growing.

JALOUSE Magazine Part II

Posting the JALOUSE Promo video back in 9th Jan 2012, they are coming back with another video!

I like the voice over character that is giving you extra layers of the story and be obvious with what the visual are trying to convey to the audience.

The video was well planned and shot during the happenings of Cannes Film Festival.

These videos are making me wanting to purchase their super chic magazines lol

Step back with techonology

It's always the Japanese who comes up with the most creative ideas that stands itself from the rest in almost any Arts related industry. This time they did it with their window display design.

Designed for ISSEY MIYAKE's Ginza shop in Japan, they design a simple analogy flipping devices that acts like old school clocks. With timely rotation, it creates a nice system that display several patterns to lure pass byers' attention.

In my opinion I definitely think the window display breaks out from the rest of other stores by simplify having an idea.

It's always been creativity that separates regular to different, regardless of the cost.

Paralympics 2012

I really respect the athletics at Paralympics their will power and determination.

This was a strong video campaign about the London 2012 Paralympics.

Their tough mind is always my inspiration.

No one will feel sorry for you... if you want to be the best you've got to fight it yourself, other people can only help so much. Keep pushing yourself to the limit and you will step onto the biggest stage possible.
