OYSHO Lingerie Winter Collection

A lady in her underwear feeling comfortable, relaxed, confident and sexy.

Walking in her house on a sunny day , reading a book, playing with the mattress trying out her lingerie, there's a sense of romance as she indulge playing out characters and scenarios. Patricia in Breathless? Isabelle in The Dreamers? Charlotte in Lost in Translation?

Shot beautifully in Black & White shows off the OYOSHO Winter Collection.

iPhone vs Leica

This interview is ridiculous, I mean everyone who understands photography knows the significant engineering of the Leica company.

It is not possible for an iPhone to replace a Leica even by a simple fact that it doesn't even have variable focal length, from fish eye to telephoto.

GTA Inspired film

Grand Thief Auto has been a big influence during my teenage years from GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, IV and now GTA V is coming soon too :) Heavily film inspired with numerous references such as Pulp Fiction, Scarface, Speed, Casino and many more.

Now it's GTA turn to influence the new age film makers.

Inspired by GTA, Geovorg Karensky makes a crime short of Niko Bellic.

Sites of Hong Kong

A few people have asked me why I would move to film in Hong Kong and not film in Sydney?

There's many reasons actually but this is one of them:

Hong Kong is a beautiful city and it's just as photogenic as NYC with iconic locations, places, structures on every corner. Fantastic neon lights during nighttime for night scene shooting, nice cloudy days for morning shoots. The location itself gives you ideas, inspirations, creativity wherever you look.

I'd also realise that in a place like Sydney you really don't seem to have the thought of crossing paths with interesting characters such as psychos, serial killers, assassins, detectives, gangsters or superpowers. The location is simply not dense enough for others to witness or meet interesting people. We would meet multi-cultural ethnic people but they would seem to have the same lifestyle as we do. Incidents does not seem to happen as often in dense populated areas such as New York, Hong Kong, India, Japan, France where the film industry are richer than Australia. It is also a reason why Australians find it hard to relate to Australian films because even ourselves have not encountered such stories displayed on cinema...

ANYWAY here's a video showing you how videogenic Hong Kong can be.

Brooks x The Royal College of Arts

If anyone is into bicycles, fixies and riding then they must've heard of the great Brooks England company. Specialised in leather seating and quality  bicycle accessories they have dominated the marktet for decades.

One of the great things they are doing is collaborating with the students in The Royal College of Arts they assign the students to come up with Brooks England future products. This is a great way for Brooks to inspire themselves with young creative minds' ideas and also help students to get practical experience as they hope their products be chosen and manufactured.

I wish more companies will collaborate with Arts institutions because I think it will benefit both the company and the students.

Here's a video of the successful process.

Visvim's Vision

Hiroki Nakamura the designer for Visvim speaks about his inspirations.

He is trying to push fashion forward with function, form and endurance. Some of you might think his garments are a big price to pay but I think to some true supporters they are not only buying a piece of clothes. It is the technology, the effort and vision of Hiroki.

This video might give you a closer understanding of Visvim and the man behind the brand.

Hurricane Sandy

It's been a two weeks since it hit NYC but we never felt the impact, or how serious it got for everyone in NYC.

Luckily there's people who were daring enough to roam the streets on their bicycle and capturing the crazy happenings of New York.

I wouldn't say this is particularly awesome video making... but it's raw, it's realistic and you can feel the effects of hurricane Sandy.

How Socks Manufacture?

Never knew making socks could be so complex.

The machines are weird, some things need to be man handled because of its delicacy.

As I've said before the socks game is getting more attention these days, get on it!

Typography Chart

Ever since I was small I always liked typography. Trying to do bubble writing on the school desks, studying the types of typography in the manga. I realised the importance of it once I discovered that Steve Jobs attended a typography course in uni.

As I now have video, film projects with my crew I need to be more aware of typography. the style of font for my titles and logos.

I ran across this handy graph when I was exploring in my inspirational websites.

MAISON KITSUNÉ Look Book Video

In terms of lookbook videos, MAISON KITSUNE is probably one of the most successful in high fashion.

A Sunday afternoon in Paris, you wake up brain dead, you dance on your bed, music pumping loud, you try on your clothes, you pack, you leave for another place.

It's raw, romantic, young, wild, stylish.
