鄭秀文 & 廿四味《罪與罰》

Update with a mv sharing first at the moment, more updates coming soon...!

Well transformed | Well appreciated

Watched the Transformers 2 last week, pretty awesome movie to me. My first sentence to my buddies right after the movie was "lots of ass kickin hardworks have been done in it, respect". Workin in the same line vfx and post production built me a solid reason to say that. But somehow i've heard plenty of negative feedbacks about the movie which is pretty sad. Bad storyline, overlong effects and so on.......

Hey people, what would you expect from the 11 bucks you have paid... From the moment you dig out the 11bucks before paying, you should already know that you are getting ur ass inside to watch a 70% vfx film. Expecting a perfect storyline i dun think this is an ideal movie for you, follow the series is a better choice i guess or i would suggest the movie named "eight below", awesome story. Of cuz comments can be made by anyone who watch it but before that, try to understand what have been done behind. This would boost up ur interest and intention to watch Episode 3 wihch is coming in few years time i guess.

Those who said about the overlong effects, can't be blamed anyway unless you are in the post production line or creative field, I feel ashame if you say so because you should have a better understandin what need to be done to create a film piece like this. Below is an good example to show the hardwork, a 40 frames (less than 2 seconds on screen play) needed 3 months to be completed.


This scene is done by Digital Domain, one of the leading vfx companies worldwide. This is the final outcome, lots of shitz need to be done before this.


After shooting the film, a laser scan tracking is required to the movement of Alice in order to map and animate the 3d model in later stage. Build the 3d model according to the secments.


Key out the original background, left the face for 3d mapping purposes.


Map it into the 3d as texture and animate the breaking pieces frame by frame dynamically.


Put in the animated face and ready to composite.

Lighting up the 3d model could be heaven could be hell because gotta follow the scene lighting and blend them well so it looks realistic. With accurate lighting and rendering, composite the robot into the face and do some hell rotoscoping (so call "masking"). Replace with a new background. Color correct and do some finishing touches, the scene would look awesome with a realistic render. A very painful 40 frames.... source : Gizmodo

What ever mentioned above is just one and a half second of the overall movie, imagine the 2 hours plus with extreme fighting scene and camera movement. Jobs are done by few ass kicking studios like ILM, Digital Domain, BFS and many others. They were in hell while producing it but they are in heaven now by lookin at the piece they created. Great job.... gained my respect and works had been are well appreciated by those who understand what vfx & post production is all about.

PLAY IT LOUD | KISS ME SOFT

My first ever ebay item is finally here today.....Miriam's impactful album Play it loud, Kiss me soft. Released in year 2000 and was sold out all around asia until the 2nd batch released in a format of box set. Was looking for it since long long time ago and someone promised to get for me but end up nothin turns up...as usual!! You know who you are... The first batch is an rare item, most of them in ebay are 2nd batch and the price is ridiculous since this album was sold well last time. Lucky enough i found one guy selling lots of old goodies and bought from him at an ultimate reasonable price....10usd only!! Paid last friday and got it today, efficient seller.... will give you a thumb up when i'm free to log into ebay later.


Overall design of the album is rather simple with polaroid photos in the lyrics booklet. 2cds with different themes, one with "Play it loud" and the other "Kiss me soft". Altough i have most of her song but this album is just worth my pay for it without doubt, listed as a collection item to me anyway....Satisfied!! Now hunting for her 2004 HK concert which is not easy to find too.

SWITCHED

Finally the storm has landed, what i mean is not the thunder storm of cuz but the Blackberry Storm. Got it right before my birthday, good timing anyway after one year crushing on the iPhone. Was in doubt between Blackberry Storm and HTC Touch HD but at the end of the day went to the berry farm as my final decision. HTC which running on WinMo doesn't get my vote of reliability, just dunno why although i've heard it improved lotss compare to the HTC diamond.

Since have been using iPhone for a year plus, had lots of fun with it on the entertainment and multimedia side. End up i find that what functions the most was my photo album which always being opened by collegues and frens to see my photos rather than opening my music/video or application to see what's new inside. Besides that, iPhone has never allowed program to run in the background which i don't really like. With such a powerful OS y not running multitasking which is very useful for certain group of people.

These 2 points are turning me back to the neutral mode from "wants" to "needs", reason to get iPhone last time because it's unique enough since malaysia hasn't launched any at that time and i wanted it so badly but now...... I was pissed just now while in the maxis center setting up my blackberry data plan because the "uncle" who holdin the new iphone made me waited 40 minutes. Asking some dumb ass questions which easily can be found in the manual or web, do some reading please before getting!!

While making decision for another phone, i make sure that i will get somethin i need rather than something i want and thats where blackberry came into my mind. I was looking at the new Palm Pre which launching soon but the design of the phone just turned me off with no words spoken, not really my type of liking anyway.


While unboxing the blackberry, i was amazed by the packaging design more that the phone itself cuz i am "Man In Black", love designs which are sleek and black in colors. The leather pouch is my favourite item out of what ever contained in the box. Fuck.... i just love it!!!


This Blackberry Storm was named as "iPhone killer"..... Do i think so ? I would say too soon for me to judge since i own this Blackberry not more than 3 days. No matter how, i'm not biased and still loving the iPhone as an entertaining smart phone of mine. There are always Pros and Cons in all electronic devices, no such thing as All in one anyway. A simple comparison might be made after using this Blackberry for a longer period.... Let's see!!!

2 0 0 9

It has been a month plus since last update, not many thing can really turns me on but anythin about car mod would definitely do. I spent the weekends for the past one month mostly in workshop with my new ride modding here and there. Compare to the previous ride, this time is no longer anything about performance. I have been bored with that kind of life, worrying about JPJ road blocks, being stopped by patrol car for a check up while seeing their fuck faces tryin to threaten me and think that i'm a nut. Tired of feedin them to get the probs solved, now i would be happy to see any road blocks, my turn to show them a fuck face of mine. Talk to me in english, saya tak faham malay and tak tahu speak melayu....dulllssss!!

What i want now is a simple comfort silent ride. All about the visual and enjoyment while riding it, it's cool enough to me at the moment.

Gotta to be Lazy

Enjoyed doin nothin but being lazy for my past few days when i know there are somethin to be accomplished after this. During the past few nights i was spendin time with my buddies till late night and this reminds me the times we used to have such lifestyle everyweek before my "hardworkin" toa life started.....

Cars.....Gadgets......Some fuckin childish jokes are more than enough to spend 4-5 hours in a session and it was like a never endin story from last time till now. Everyone who saw me was like "Whoa....what brings Bryan here to join us tonite, unexpected VIP of the year"..... Nah nothin special but just wanna chill out here with you guys since i've been busyin all the time with projects. Feelin good as we talked and laughed all the way as we always do.

Very thankful to those who need to work on the next day but yet still hangin out here with me until late night/early morning. Never felt that i've lost this group of buddies although not joining them for quite some time. Appreciate it......

Today afternoon i was lookin at this fuckie fellor dog, he is quite an agressive shit but under an hot sunny afternoon.....he looked dead and lazy!! Made me wanna snap his fuck face down cuz he looked really dumb and funny with that face....hahaha!! No matter how busy i was before this, now is the time that i gotta to be lazy and freeze up what ever related to jobs until the day i get back to work....

This is the one

After years have never been met a right one after her famous tracks but her recent release <This is the one> went right up to my "Most Played List"! I would rate it a "must have" album. Yea she is back with a refreshin melody, out of all my favourite track is "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence".
