Kendama Outdoor

This is a video to represent something to "Yume Fabrika" brand from Edosh.
I took my Kendama out for an hour to collect some footage
And made a simple edit with some simple tricks.
Hope you guys like it.


First experience on VSLR video shooting,
First time HD video editing, took a lot my time to figure out how to make the images runs smoother,
but ended up this is what I can do best.
First time Kendama outdoor in Singapore,
Many first time lah.
Sorry for the over-exposed and many mistakes,
I wish to do better in future, so please comment..
Thanks!

WL33 Grindbox Session; iPhone3G(s)

Finally, I did my part to give my iPhone 3G(s) an opportunity to test its video recording function and its quality, Haha~!!!
All the editing was done with a little help of AfterEffects
Without any color corrections nor changes of the original footage, just some simple cuts.
As a result, it is quite surprising~!!!
Not really for a big production,
But it was more than enough for a skating session like this.

Rollabout presents you "Rollabout Represent"

Finally, I've done my first ever skate short video.
Let Rollabout presents you...

"Rollabout Represent"

It took me a long long time to get it done,
Video editing isn't as easy as I'd imagined before,
But it's definitely very very fun producing the whole video.
Looking at it taking shapes from time to time, that's an excitement.

Although it's just a 5 minutes cut,
Getting the ideas, picking up the footage;
Learning and researching on how to do video editing,
All those had earned me so much of experience.

Here's the credits part,
I know it's kinda bored but I need to do this...
Thanks to all who'd helped, showed, guided and thought me up.

First of all, thanks to the Digital Video Battle which ignites my mind up.
Secondly, thanks to my gf, Weiwei, because that's her video camera, haha!
Followed by Jeepeng, Kahgiap, DickWoei, for powering all my editing skills and techniques.
Then, to all the cameramen; Memen, Edosh, Sukeats & ChongWei.
Lastbutnotleast, to all the rollerbladers for willing to pull out various tricks on screen.

Without all of you guys, this short video will not be made or existed.
Hope everyone would enjoy and love this short video,
And hopefully Rollabout would get recognized as an icon in future.

Once again, thanks for making this happen!

First roll of Red/Gold Seagull

I've finally got it processed and scanned,
It is my first roll of Red/gold Seagull,
The results are quite satisfying,
Nothing much to complain about,
It's just too fun to own this machine.


"This is Jeepeng, thinking of all his friends."



"WeiWei & Hooi also think of how Jeepeng is doing in Shanghai."



"Everybody is there for Jeepeng."



"Jeepeng's last farewell supper before he left to Shanghai."



"Crankin' Robot & Kendamas."



"Black strong rugged off-road jeep."



"Seagull."


Some shots are over, some shots are under;
But for those that got it just right,
I like the sharpness and the DOF that it actually makes,
Not bad at all for me.

Instax Fever; Instant Dream come true!

2 posts back, I was crazy about the Diana Instant Back+,
Today, thanks to.. should I go for Kelvin, then Jhunnie? Or..
Angex is the hardcore creative person in this.

This doesn't mean I'm not crazy about the Diana Instant Back+,
Just that I'm not as extreme as before,
Because there are people out there giving out tips of doing the Instant shots,
By using NOT Instant cameras, but TLR, Diana, HOLGA, etc.
Any medium format cameras should do.
And here is my first attempt using the Mamiya RB67.
Tell me how great is this!
An instant shot with powerful Depth Of Field??

Alright... How do I do it?
Here is the cut and paste from the original creator..

1. Open the film outer package.

2. In the dark place, gently push to black protective plastic out

3. Gently push the first film out. Remember the side towards you (the black side, or the back side of the film)

is the light sensitive side for exposure.

4. Put the film into your camera film chamber, with the exposure side facing the lens.

5. Close the film chamber, now ready to shoot! The ISO speed of instax mini is 800.

6. After taking your photo, go back into dark place.
Take the film out. Use a roller to squeeze the developer chemicals out and roll over the entire film area.
Always squeegee away from the developer side (the thicker side toward the white stripe).

7. Now you can turn on the light wait for the image to appear!


Try it yourself, you'll be addicted.
Then don't come back and blame me, Oopss!!!

Once again, thanks to all instructors out there~!!!

Diana Instant Back+ by Lomography

Mayday! Mayday~!!!
I'm drowning, what am I looking at?
It is the extraordinary alienated Diana...
With the Instant Back??!?!?!??!?!?
I think this is not a very good news, I hate lomography!
But I think this is a very very good news too, I Love you, Lomography~!!!!!
GOsh!!! I hate to say this, but I swear I am getting it~!!!

Why should I???
Ya, why should I get it???


Because it has full range of the Diana+ accessories,
Which includes the blurry effect and vignette,
It is also complies the exact focus range of Diana original DOF.


Because, you could be one of the fastest one to see you pinhole shot,
INSTANTLY~!!!


Also because, you are going to have double exposure shots,
INSTANTLY, too~!!!


And colorsplashing and lights crafting effects to see,
INSTANTLY~!!!


Applies the fisheye lens for some fishy shots..


Or wide-angle lens...
and see it INSTANTLY~!!!
And more and more and more and more, and all INSTANTLY~!!!

Crazy huh???
Well, I am crazy enough right now,
I don't know, I just love it~!!!
So, why shouldn't I get it?

Last but not least,
Do not blame me in any circumstances when you found your pocket is loosed.

Rollabout.blogspot.com; Now online~!!!

Alright, so now the blog is officially online,
Rollabout is...
Sounds like Roundabout,
Roll from one place to another,
Rolling about local streets and skateparks.
So, the concept name of 'Rollabout' came out from Edosh's mind,
Interpreting all of us, are riding our skates not only in the skateparks,
But also traveling around.

Just as simple as that,

Roll on~!!!

The Arrival of Valo AB.1; Alex Broskow

It was a great shocking Wednesday, a week before Chinese New Year.
I was feeling so down after work, and was really stressful.
But thing changed in a snap when I reached home,
Entered my room and saw this package on the floor.


Haha!!! Whooooohoooo~!!!
It is my Valo Alex Broskow, so much highlighted BLUE~!!!
Came with so many free items too.
I bought only the boots, the rest that you see there are all free~!!!


"AB.1" printed on the sexy shiny blue snake skin.


"Valo AB.1"


"valo" on the side.


Memory buckle, in RED.


Snake skin lace holder and Embossed leather.


Quality Italy made,
With well done custom stitching,
And the new improved zebra skin liner.


With Aragon Ground Control Featherlite2 frames,
Which I was looking forward to have them sometimes ago.


Also, the Grindhouse pattern 56mm/90A wheels.


These pair of skates is designed by Alex Broskow,
Apart from all the details,
As what Alex Broskow always believes in,
The little rabbits foot is given with the skate for good luck(I hope so).


As time moves on,
I have to move on as well,
Thanks to the great lemur of Xsjados Chris Farmer 2,
For passing me such a strange power in rollerblading.

Good Luck to me in riding the Valo.

Instax Mini 7S Choco : Early X'mas Present

I am back form the greatest "Lomoliday",
And now I received an early Christmas present from XiaoWei,
It was a really surprising present from her,
So unexpected, so surprised, so respectful of how you keep it so secretly,
I am still speechless to describe how I feel about this.
Not only that, but with tons of the instax films,
Which is amazing!!
Anyhow...
I think this is not only for me.
It's also yours.
Sharing is Happiness.




Thank you so much, my love!
