3D Printing Firearms?

People might think I'm pretty late to be amused by this technology but damn this is incredible. In this month I've came across two videos discussing 3D printing.

Printing objects with plastic according to 3D design software you will have boundless creations just within your house. Almost everything can be built and print straight off from this printer and in an instant. What's so great about it is that you can forge/design experiment items straight away and customise things to suit yourself. I think within 5-10 years when it becomes a common household hardware it will change the way we interact with products. It will become a threat to many brands. Although it seem beneficial for us, it always have its side effects and threats towards the community.

People have already use the printer to produce firearms thats just as powerful as guns purchase from stores. With new technology there are always lots of unclear laws to control the use. A great example would be the internet and music... It will always serve as a lesson to be revied on whenever a big new invention gets created.

First video talks about the future of 3D printing and it's great potential.

Second video is a documentary on 3D Printed Firearms across America.

Being Press

Uma Thurman & Donnie Yen

I've been working in Hong Kong for 3 weeks now, running around chasing celebrities. Holding on my monopod, camera, microphone, headphone and cables everywhere I go. Getting told off by staff about recording intellectual property and all kinds of madness. Then I return to the office edit out all the shaky footage, videos where I forgot to stop recording, weird moments of celebrities.

The jobs are fun, you get to see people you admire, you look up to or even had a crush on. You see how they try to bring out the best of themselves to the camera, for the reporters and for the audience. Downside is that you don't really have time to look at your stars in awe, most of the time you are concentrating on the camera shot and trying to get the best out of the celebrity before they are gone, and when they are gone you'll be unhappy that you didn't get a chance to do what you'll like to do as a fan and all you can do is brag about who you saw.

In this field you really try to be efficient and fast. Shooting only necessary things to save battery, time. Travelling light for running around locations and editing a video within a certain timeframe.

Quantity  > Quality

Being able to shoot around 3-5 events and edit around 3 3min videos a week forces you to compromise quality. You need to supply content therefore you can't make a finer edit.

Although this is a wonderful experience I do not want to be in the field being a reporter.

P.S. Another advantage being press is that you get access to most events and most of the time you get the front row seat or the best spots in the house. Front on in fashion shows, red carpet, store openings etc.

Stussy is breaking into the food collaboration, having doing a collab previously with Plan Check restaurant in West Los Angeles the second one was at Hong Kong and I was lucky enough to take part of it. Stussy chose Yardbird for their second food collaboration.

I was there around 12:20am and the first seatings were filled already, we wait for around 40mins before we headed in. The place has two floors, we were at the basement level where the kitchen was so we were able to see some of the preparations. The seatings were pretty jammed as they try to fit as much people as possible, which was a good thing since I prefer the pack, loud and busy environment with people chatting along, laughing and having a good time. The food was great there were highlights such as the Twice Fried Chicken, Popcorn Gizzard, Crispy Ramen Salad, Fried Chicken Fillet and Sweet Potato Gratin... a lot of highlights I know... but the food was great! The portions were definitely enough if not too much. It was a once off menu but I sure hope that they keep the ones I listed above. The staff were all friendly and trying to social with everyone.

It was def a pleasant experience and be sure to check out their regular menu some other time.

Unfortunately the photos I took were taken with my film camera so I will upload them once I get the processed. Meanwhile enjoy this inspiring video they did with OTHERS x HYPEBEAST.
