[Inspiration] 7 fan-made videos that is made of pure WIN

Sometimes I just do not understand what is in the head of the Hollywood writers or directors, especially when they want to deal with adaptation of videos games to the silver screen. They either screw it up, or fuck it up real bad. Literally. What puzzles me is they often have a big hoo-hah and marketing campaign to promote the movie and blew it out of propotion most of the time, in terms of distorting the fans, be it hard core or casual fan that the movie rocked big time (even though it sucks). Call this a ranting thread from a fan but I would like to show you more than useless rant, a clear comparison between fan-made videos that stayed true to the game essense to those feces that Hollywood churned out in the past years. And with all the ventures of online videos these days, it is really hard for the big movie studios to ignore all these fan-uploaded videos. Why? Because you will be surprised even for a $500 and a little bit of passion, a lot can be done, and outdone the big guys.

I would give my deepest respect to the creators of the video that took their time, effort and passion to make all this gem. It’s priceless. If you love video games, manga or anime. Please watch it. Though there are countless fan-made videos that has been created all this years and can be see on video sites like Youtube, I had chose some of the best and fine example in comparison to 4 failed example from the big guys. Enjoy reading!

[Photography] Weekend at Marina Bay Sands’ entrance

Apparently, there is this big celebration over Singapore Youth Olympics Games 2010 at Marina Parade.

Did a timelapse test from 6PM – 8PM. Learnt few mistakes from this outing though. First thing first, never kick on your tripod :s

But it’s an interesting result that I gotten from this trip. Would probably visit other place to do this more often. And oh yes, please watch in HD :)

Timelapse Test with Nikon D60

Was running a test from 5PM earlier today with my Nikon D60. It appears that to produce a sunset-based timelapse video is rather challenging with the ever changing lighting. A lot of changes to the shutter speed to compensate the under exposure is needed, ending up I had to stand near the computer/camera all the time for almost 3 hours.
