Short film

In the past, I never know how to appreciate short film.

So to say, I have no idea when I started to love short film.

It take quite a while to understand what is the director trying to show to the audience. Some times, you cannot blame yourself because it is so boring that you feel like sleeping.

Short film is not something that everyone know how to appreciate.

It is not something you are looking for the effects or the surround sound. It is the art that lay behind the story.

I myself do not even dare to say that I wanted to do a short film. I bet that I will face a lot of difficulties tho. But, it can be a challenge some how. Who knows?

There's no rules stating that you require a good story behind it, or must have an actor or actress to act in front of the camera. It can be so simple that you want to tell the people what is going on around the area. For instance, a busy street vs a lonely road.

Do remember, every film require a good music soundtrack. Imagine you are filming some thing historical but the OST is a break beat dance music? Isn't that way too exaggerating?

Usually, but not a must, a good new age music or a classical tune is always suitable. As I said, it really depend on what sorta film is required.

Or best, you can have the short film by having dialogue only. You know, there's no rules that you must follow. Breaking and bending the rules can be fun.

This short film , "V1K1 - A Techno Fairy Experience", is created by Tzang Merwyn Tong, an indie Director whom I worked as photographer for his next movie previously.

I had not watch the film, but according to him, it is a Sci Fi genre with lots of dialogue.

Oh yea, the whole production team are from ITE College West at CCK. *Bravo*

Being an audio producer before, I do know what sorta genre of music is suitable for the film or the program. That's my specialty and I am proud of it.

dts surround speaker layout

You heard it from people about surround like 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 etc... But do you know more about them?

Below are all the dts surround speakers layout ranging from 2.0 till 7.1.

With the graphic shown, it seem easier to understand the entire layout. But of course, it depent on what kinda encoder you wanna use on your amp.

I was quite surprise to see all these layout on the dts surcode program, hence I decided to share with you.

This is all about dts (digital theater system) and not dolby. But layout is somewhere about the same.

For better understanding, these are the code name (I hope I did not get wrong tho):

L - Left
R - Right
C - Center
LFE - Low Frequency Effect (woofer)
S - Surround
Ls - Left Surround
Rs - Right Surround
Lss - Left Side Surround
Rss - Right Side Surround
CS - Center Surround
Ls-r - Left Surround Rear
Rs-r - Right Surround Rear
LW - Left Wide
RW - Right Wide
C-Oh -Center Over-Head
Ch - Center High
Lhs - Left Height Side
Rhs - Right Height Side
Lh - Left Height
Rh - Right Height

Been neat is good!

Finally have time to sit down and type these nonsense. I cleared most of the stuffs on my table... put back the CDs which had been on my table for months....now.. my working table is neat and tidy!

Just read YT blog and realise that Smurf is coming to cinema!



Ok... I had not been watching movies lately because of princess. I missed a lot of good movies and it is so sad that when you heard your coll talking about this and that show is damn good!

Look like.. I can only enjoy when we move to new house next time. More time on TV and hoping Princess Cait do not come and disturb me. I will save up for BD movies and BD Player! Oh yea... great.. =)

Movie collector and my plan for wkend!

Thank you for dropping my blog and read some of the interesting... or rather... boring stuff I wrote.

I had a great smile on my face because someone is paying me for blogging about them. Seriously, I had no idea this will happen, but I shall reveal it later when everything finalise. Do stay tune.

Are you a great movie collector? If you are, and having so many titles in your shelves but tend to forget whether does this title of movie is in your collection or not. Maybe Collectorz Movie is suitable for you.

It is easy to arrange and best part is that you can get the information from IMDB! Any information from IMDB, will be transfer to the Collectorz Movie. Try the trial which offer you 50 titles to start with, and if you hunger for more, purchase it!

And if you are a pure JukeBox lover on NMT, this is what you need. Everything from Collectorz Movie will be in Movie JukeBox. It is easy to view too. Everything seen from IMDB, appear on Movie JukeBox. That's why you need to have the network to access your NMT for updating.

I had not try that out yet because my NMT Elektron 606 is not here yet, which I am looking forward to this Saturday, if there's any possibility!

Since I be working this Saturday, I can drop by to SengKang to collect Duragloss claybar from Benny. A pity that he had stop detailing for people now, wondering if he is doing any detailing that day. My car badly need the polishing service!

I am quite worry about this Saturday recording because of the door. Our company door did not open, even using remote to disarm the lock is no use at all. So everyone had to proceed to ShengSiong to have breakfast and wait till the door had been fix.

Terrible security lock from them. Heard that they finally change the system board, which everyone is finger crossing! Thought that there will be a self declare day off, but too bad! LOL.

It is going to be really busy Saturday for me! Collecting and passing of items, going to AMK to buy diaper bag and maybe Tampines One for shopping.

Cait need a new cupboard! Her clothes... OVERFLOWING!



Oh yes! Canon just sent me a SMS that I can go down and collect my camera anytime! Guess what? $0!!!

Maybe I should call them to get it clean up! I hate it when I got to take leave to collect my camera.

I am looking for studio rental for some photoshoot. Anyone care to help? I appreciate that.

My point of view


That's my point of view for today... A few to state out but having no direction at all.

My fringe MSN is not working properly so the title still remain since last Friday:In NUH with mom now. I have to try and figure out the reason why for that to happen.

I hope that I did not hear wrongly when the word loser came out when topic was about giving birth not naturally. I got a shock and hoping I am wrong. But anyway, there are a few of giving birth scenario. In the labour ward, what you thought of is safety for baby and nothing
else. Epidural is commonly use and it show that some mothers not having
Epi did have backache problem as well, which is the cause of improper
standing posture.
  • Almost all woman cannot stand the contraction pain when getting inducing because it is almost 10 times painful than natural.

  • There are a few of reason why C-sect is done. Like: safety for mom and baby, womb not good, dangerous situation, unable to push the baby out and having complication. Some prefer due to timing issue.
It is kinda weird that I am still unable to get the HTML coding out on top of my blog as error kept showing out. Even for nuffnang ads which I had posted in the blog previously, now there's nothing shown at all.

I come across this thread in MyCarForum yesterday and had a great laugh at the forumer posts instead of the threadstarter. This TS just got self pawned for posting stupid topic and end up got slammed by many.

I decided not to get my Blu-ray player so soon as I am waiting patiently for Panny 60 during PC show which I will reckon that there will great discount or whatever. Oppo is great machine but having looking at the non region and code situation, it will not satisfy Asian country, whereby those promising brand did have their free from region and code. That is for a peace of mind when buying the show. Let's hope that Panny 60 will not be too expensive when it hit SG shore.

I firmly believe that Oppo might want to do a free code and region in future, just like their 983, 981 and 980 DVD player. Another thing to save up on Blu-ray disc is NMT.









I had make my order of Elektron 606 from Xtremeplace forum.

Why NMT? Are you going to buy every single BR disc and some horrible show might not just worth the single cents for you to get it at all. Well, you can alwas borrow from friends, rent the BR D or DVD and rip out the entire movies to your desktop and transfer to your NMT for your own viewing. Bear in mind that having NMT connect to your AVR via HDMI is never the same by using your laptop to connect to TV. This NMT allow you to view 720p and 1080p and getting all the Dolby you wanted for which will process in your AVR. You can never get it from your laptop. All thanks to Sunblockz in Xtreme forum doing this MO for the 7th time and of course he do not earn a single cents at all. I am in good terms with him as I had been asking lots of question on NMT.

Popcorn hour 110A is one of the great NMT and been the godfather of all, you will get new firmware or patches faster. But acording to Sunblockz that PCH do have heat issue which is the same situation like HDX1000. You be surprise that HDX1000 and Elektron are done by ShenZhen, China. While PCH is by USA. Great machine to keep for your HT viewing, you can also load in your music in the device as well. It is great for me as I have quite a lot of Kids music in my PCand using Elektron to playback on my AVR in the living room is great because my baby is able to listen to it, rather than in the room, which is stuffy due to my computer heat.

Not only that, by using MyiHome, you can play your favourite RMVB from computer to your NMT, which will show on your TV! You may want to go to Network Media Tank forum thread to read about it. Currently I am waiting for the min qty of 10 to reach so that order can be make, only then I can try all out!

Total damage: SGD 318 (EHP-606 is SGD 280 and TP-Link is SGD38) TP-Link is meant to connect to your router for streaming purposes.



Finally, 2 more IPT left! (Including IPPT)

Wednesday is a lazy day for IPT takers and that's the same for PTI. We were told run 1 round of 2.4km route before we start doing the warm-up! Yah, after the 1st run and warm-up ex, I ran half the round and started walking till the PTI told us to accept punishment. As usual, JJ walked off even when PTI is talking to him, and as for me, I say I'm tired and leg cramp. Need to sit down and rest. PTI end up say nothing at all.

Before the 3rd run, the PTI revealed that he is also NSman! No wonder everyone is quite switch off though. Anyway 6SIR is preparing for their ORD parade so that's the answer. Ran half of it and suddenly everyone just cut cross the area instead of following the route. People went to Maju Camp will know the route well. Quite a number of people did that and went separate way till the PTI had nothing to say at all because there's no light also. LOL

4th run, JJ went MIA after Leonard and me started walking at the initial start. Instead of walking on the road, I walk below the building and everyone started following me! LOL. When Leonard and me cut the route again, everyone followed, JJ appeared from the starting point. Well, that guy ninja bomb is superb! Ha!

Fast &Furious 4

Can't wait to watch this movie! Had been Fast & Furious fan since it first started!

Angels & Demons

Ok, I am looking forward to watch Angels and Demons by Tom Hanks! Oh yes, I finished the novel few months ago!
