No words to describe this brilliant new technology. Has to be seen to be believed. Running on a laptop no less.

Think Different

Here's to the crazy ones.

The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Evenstarr's new song 'Patah' was donated for use to 'The White Ribbon Campaign' in conjunction with the campaign's media event this coming 25th November 2006 in Kuala Lumpur. The band will be joining other well known Malaysian celebrities such as Manbai, Reshmonu, Ferhad and Alex Yoong in support of the campaign. The band will also be performing live at the event this coming Saturday.

About 3 weeks back, I was commissioned to start work on the music video for 'Patah'. Click on the link below to read on about the 'making of' the video.

Panasonic HVX200 + M2 Adapter + Magic Bullet

The DVInfo Thread

Link to Footage 01 (First Day) - 13.5MB
Link to Footage 02 (Insect Macro) - 7.5MB

Great LOOK! These guys over at Motivity Pictures posted some footages shot with their Panasonic HVX200 cam equipped with the Redrock M2 Adapter and some Nikon SLR lenses (50m, 70-200mm, 105mm Macro), then graded using Magic Bullet in AE.

Looks amazing and the better color space and lesser compression of DVCPro HD using the HVX200 is a better format to work with in post. As compared to HDV, that is.
