Tilt-Shift Videos
I've been wanting to post some great tilt-shift video for quite a while now. but can't seem to find a great collective website that actually put it up there. Well most of great quality videos are posted on Vimeo. Not just the tilt-shift video ok, other creative videos, shorts, 2D/3D animations, music videos, or just plain awesome cinematography. In the case of creative content it is much better than YouTube. For one it can project better result in both SD and HD. Second there are less junks there compare to YouTube.
Enough about Vimeo and lets carry on to the main topic. Now, the Wiki's explanation about Tilt-Shift is this;
"Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
To me, in the laymen's term is a photography technique that uses a special lens that would make the result to look like miniature models. Your subjects would actually, literally look like man made miniatures but they are actually real buildings, people, cars, ships or what have you.
The first time I knew about this was at work when my colleagues were actually talking about it and looking at videos on the net and looking at the lenses. I wanted to see what's going on but I was too busy with my work, then a few days later I went with my friends to see some mummy exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore and there were other exhibitions as well there (duh, of course). Part of those is, I believe it was photography contest about some theme about Singapore National Day. Then there they were, tilt-shift photos.
One photo I remember the most was the F1 race with a wide angle shot and the F1 car at the turning corner. I believe it was this one
Go to Boston.com for more of these F1 photos, awesome ones too. But this is the 2008 ones.
Well, as you can see it does look like a miniature toy right? It's just an eye illusion thing. Depth of Field, distances, angle manipulation, bla bla bla. What ever it is it looks freaking cool I would say. It's like when you can achieve this effects by yourself, you would feel that you have the world on the palm of your hand doesn't it?
I found a site that actually collects videos from Vimeo of, may be, the best tilt-shift effects time lapse. So they took the photos and put it in an editing software, put them together and become a video. I did read some where that you can actually achieve the same effect using a normal footage and treat it at post, apply some filters and blur here and there. But I would say nothing beats the real thing doesn't it?
So here they are from Photoble.com, 10 Astonishing Tilt-Shift Videos. Oh yea they always have great music accompanying the videos :-)

The Ant and The Fly
Luke is a worker ant that has a job of getting food outside the ant nest everyday. Every ant has to come back with at least a bite of food for the colony and for them. Luke is single and he wants and need a companion for his soul. It seems that no ant in the colony would ever recognize him at all. He is very quite and unpopular with the other fellow workers. The only friend he has is Boris, tall, handsome, hard working and worker of the month. He is everything Luke would want. He is popular among the girls. But every time Luke wants to get to know them, it seems that the girls’ only interest is Boris. Luke would get his company only during lunch time or between breaks. The topic that they would talk about is only about Boris and girls.
Some day Luke is out side looking for food. He climbs up this tall looking pole that looks like a wood-looking kind. He could smells the great aroma of different kind of food in the atmosphere and stream would come around him as if a cloud has passes by his face. He sprints as fast as he could to the smell source then he sees a massive object in front of him. It looks circular and the edge of the object slants outward from the bottom to top, as if it is a cliff that has a shine and very smooth surface. He climbs up the object and he sees a very huge pool of this thick and slimy liquid with various objects inside of it. After he stares at it for a while, he takes a sip of that liquid and it taste wonderful and very refreshing. But then he hears this buzzing sound from his back and something lands beside him. It was a fly, a lady fly with very delicate pair of wings and wonderful red shiny collections of eyes but she has a leg missing. Emma, the fly, stuck out her tongue and straight away slurping the soup away. She realizes that she has company besides her. They look at each other for a while and smiles. A big bang suddenly appears, as if it is a gigantic earthquake. It is the humans putting down the plates on the table. Emma falls into the pool of thick liquid and she is stuck, she couldn’t get out. Luke reaches for her and took her out of the liquid before she drowns to death. He quickly grabs her and drags her out of that tall place to the ground. He takes her to the nearest water fountain he knows and washes her off that thick and delicious liquid. They get to know each other well after. They play around in Luke’s favorite places and Emma takes him airborne. They do fun stuff together. It is as if they are interested and meant to be together.
Day by day passes, Luke goes out like his usual day to find food and see Emma. This time when he gets out of his nest he smells something. It is something terrible and suffocating him a little. He sees a little bit of shower above him. There is one drop of that liquid drops in his eye and it burns him until it hurts. The alarm for the emergency goes off. Every ant goes back to the nest; they run madly as if hell breaks loose, so does Luke. While he runs he keeps on thinking what would happen to Emma. Every ant stays inside the nest for the day. The next day Luke goes out for work again and he heard someone shouting, “BIG BUFFET!!!” Every ant runs wildly to that ant. What seems to be a big feast is a big pile of dead flies. Luke goes to the site and he is terrified, petrified and horrified. His first thought that crosses his mind looking at the site is Emma. He searches the pile for her. Someone shouted again that there is a fly without a leg. He rushes to that ant and push him out of the fly. It is she, Emma, the beautiful fly with a missing leg. His tears drop one by one. His only first and true love is beside him and died. The leader of the day says to bring the whole pile into the nest and leave nothing behind. Luke is torn. He has to serve his duty as an ant but his love is his colony’s food. He has no choice but carry his love to the nest.
The End
This was my very first synopsis I ever wrote for a script. I was inspired my Antz and A Bug's Life at that time. So the story is fairly similar to the animation features. Well I was Cleaning up my hard drives and I stumble upon this. It was a synopsis for a college assignment that is later turn to be a script. Well my script is at my old hard drive that would spin anymore so it's mostly gone I think. Unless there's someone out there that can recover it. So yea, that's it. I like the idea also on how compatible two different kinds could fit like a glove. How differences between the two and imperfections are actually meant to counter one and another and make them perfect. (Well if I ever recover that script it's more elaborate than this). Well that's the idea at that time for I can remember. Oh yea one thing I remember is that when I handed this up to the lecturer, she said that I was the only one in the whole group of 40 plus or something that is actually writing something different and her first time seeing an animation script in her class when others try to do the same topic year in and year out. I felt quite cool :-)

Wanna know the best lines in Hollywood?
Well I think these are not the best of the best. But it's close enough. I think I only saw like around half of all of these movies. May be because many of them are classics. Well it's not like I detests the classic, I mean gosh one of my favourite movies are The Maltese Falcon and Rear Window (which I believe are not in this compilation). It's just, only a few of them clicks with me you know. I can't really stand watching slow phase classics, makes me sleepy. Well the point is I watch what I feel like watching or what I like only. But "REDRUM", "Royal with Cheese", "Life was like a box of chocolates", "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse", "I'll be back", "FREEEDOOOM!!!" and many more are here. So enjoy, and try to guess which movie they're from. It's a fun to watch with others, the more the merrier. :-)

It always is
He always tell a good story no matter what song it is. This is my favorite so far from their new album :-) It's always funny the way it is.
Dave Matthews Band - Funny the Way it is
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this
The evening comes and we’re hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song

Nintendo and Mario Bros.
Nintendo was the second game console that I've ever played after Atari. I played Mario Brothers for hours. Skipped my home work and all just to go to the next level. Even though my parents would give a limited amount of hours for me and my brother to play, we would like sneak, lie, manipulate or do what ever possible just to play another hour on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Well here's some stuff about Nintendo and Mario Bros. that are kind of interesting to read.
Ten Things You Didn't Know About Super Mario Bros.
Some info that you might not know, like "Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Mario Bros.) designed Mario wearing a hat because he found drawing hair difficult. He also drew Mario with a mustache because a mustache was easier to see than a mouth with 8-bit graphics."
This is a picture I found with interesting current statistics about the company.

Game Consoles under X-Ray
You wanna see what's underneath the game consoles look like? Well here they are. Looks kindda cool though. But then I think again what a waste of space to the NES cartridges is it? Oh yea there are other game consoles at the website. Check them out.

Games
Alright, those of you who like games, puzzles or plain simple games just to kill boredom and time here are my suggestions.
(Make sure that your computer is flash compatible. And if you don't have go here to download and install Adobe Flash Player)
The ever classic Space Invaders.
Yes, if none of you ever played this when you are a kid or at least heard of it. Shame on you. It is this game (I think) that revolutionized the gaming industry and made it all the way until even now. Yea, there's a newer version released from Xbox 360, it's called Space Invaders Extreme. You might think that it is boring but when you actually sit there and play it. Man it is addictive as hell, the Xbox one I mean. But do play the website for kicks.
Puki
Ok, this game is a shooting game. It is kindda funny coz you've got this round character or a gnome or what ever you wanna call it and you use him to shoot targets that are coming at you. I think the setting is in some kind of space ship or something. It's all white reminds me of Star Wars in the Death Star hallway. Aim of the game is just keep on shooting. Oh, the game name gives me a kick, it's a Malay and Pinoy word for 'pussy', hehehe...
Japanese IQ Test
I don't really know why is it called that, may be it's invested by the Japanese or may be it's an old Japanese game that's been told by generations. The truth is I got fed up and couldn't figure out the solution, I think I'm not that smart enough to do it. Read the instruction and start the game, do tell me if you ever figure it out :-)
Video Puzzle
It's a simple puzzle but the picture is moving. I thought it's kindda cool to post it.
Fulfillment
It's just boxing up the puzzle. Filling the gap up with squares that are provided to you with a limited given time. It's like Tetris but puzzle mode. I didn't really get far but kept on playing though.
Box Spin
I've tried playing this for like almost an hour while watching some show but still cannot finish it. But I am pretty sure that it can be done. Well you see, there are bunch of circles with two line adjacent to one another. When you click one the circle will spin and if the lines connect to the other circle the color of that circle will change. So you have to get every circle to be one color. Argh, it even frustrates me explaining it. Well you'll get what I mean when you try it.
Can't You See I'm Busy!
Yea, this is one of those games that you play at the office. It is very clever the way it is design. You will see very familiar User Interface at the games and there are quite a few of them that are very fun to play with. I think this is one of my favourite games to play with for killing time. Try to play it when your boss is around and see if he gets fooled or when your office mates are beside you, see if they get fooled as well.
Free Web Arcade
Yep, I think this is the mother of all stupid free flash games. You can basically find all kinds of arcade games from here and if you like classic games that you used to play at the arcade, then you'll love this site. Go there and explore, I still haven't explore all of them yet. There are so many of them.
Have fun, and kill that boredom and sour face!

The World Inside My Head
Been busy lately, I had a lot of things to post though. I will post them up when I have the mood. Lol, well it is my place of escape anyway. But for now I've been in the world inside my head and watched the sunrise like it's a big surprise.
Sister Hazel - World Inside My Head
On the road to safe
I kinda tripped along the way
It just seemed like a nasty hassle
The path was greener on the one less traveled
That's where I remained
People so high they think
I can't hear the whispers
I can see it falling off their face
Their trying to shoot down my plane of grace
It seems like it's already hard enough
But the paint on me is beginning to dry
And it's not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is Hanging on to a weary angel
So tell me what it is about me
Where did everybody go without me
So, I like to fantasize
And watch the sunrise like it's a big surprise
Life moves and I stopped to taste it
I drank it up till it left me wasted
But my rains have bled
A softer red
Oh you should see the world inside my head
You can shackle me away
And try to wrap around my dreamer
I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view
But the paint on me is starting to dry
And it's not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is holding onto a weary angel
I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view
But the pain on me is beginning to dry
And it's not what I want it to be
So wait on me
Wait on me
You should see
