Sennheiser Ad

Go slowly through this one.
Try to visualize it as a motion clip instead of individual still pictures, they are all interlinked.



































_______________________________

Heya!..hope the images did not frighten you...
This is a personal project i made for the fun of it.
Well honestly, not all that fun.
Pretty sick of it and im glad that it is finally done!
It wasn't all easy as it looks, it took a lot of sweat, time,
trial and error for the lighting, effects and feel that i wanted.
Sounds insane, but i chose these 17 out of 400photographs that i took in the dark.
No shits, mainly bcuz i din have any assistance.
Editing process was shitty too.
Goes to show that it aint all that easy to work in Hollywood.

In case you are still wondering what all these strange flashy put together pictures are about,
It is an experimental mashed media commercial for Sennheiser Earphones.
This experimental style demonstrates that blurry pictures are not all that useless.
Also exploring fickle image transitions,
the different ways we can see things(distortion, burns, mirror, inversion, etc)
AND lens flares!(these pics, utterly unrealistic and overdone)

Perhaps not a very appropriate ad to be aired on tv because
it has quite a dark and frightening touch to it.
Not that i give a shit anyways, could be a Halloween special ad.

As a final touch, I also added a logo quote/catch phrase/wtv.
Sennheiser: "Amplifying Your Imagination"
the quote reflects on the story em pictures put together

Description on the less obvious things:
The ghostly figure in the story may not necessarily be a ghost.
It is a human who is doing some visually exaggerated headbanging
as he listens to loud music from a Sennheiser earphone.
The loud music that can be heard from afar has caused the torchlight boy to be delusional
which also cause the image world to erratic, referring to first few random images.
His delusions becomes more intense when he openes the door,
where the headbanger appears deformed, continuous movement,
thing like, wtv you wanna call it.
Finally, they both scared each other. end.

So in this story here, there are no ghots, just wild imagination caused by sensational earphones.
hahaha...fooled you didn't it?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So any of you wanna suggest an alternate logo catch phrases for this one??
example, nike: just do it, honda: the power of dreams.
It doesn't have to be appropriate for everybody...
This is whole thing was for fun after all.
I had come up with a few and finally sticked with this one.

Chia Ming and Shin lin also suggested some cool ones:
Chia Ming: Sennheiser, Bringing sounds to the after life.(wicked sick!)
Shin Lin: Symphony of Apparition

Owhhh Shit

Jings/Rachels Laptop.

My desktop.

Tragedy!!!
See the difference?
Something that i have discovered from jings and rachels laptop.
Ah!..my photoshop footprints made obvious through their screens!
Here's another one.
...........................................

Jings.

Mine.

I had no idea that i would have left such a trace.
As u can see, their laptop screens had some weird
brightness/contrast setting or something.
But no matter how bright and low contrast the settings my own screen,
i still can't be able to see em lighter spots.
Same story with my Uni's computer.
...........................................


Jings.
AHHH!!!...SO UGLY!!!!
STUPID RECTANGLE!!
Owh ME GoShhhHHHHH
cant take this...

My comp.

So i apologize for you viewers who are
able to see these explicit images all these while.
Perhaps only u people with em cursed laptops could see this.
Which im pretty sure most of you use laptops.
...........................................

Yikes!
Ok to be honest.
I have no idea how to fix this problem.
I dunno if its the screen or the image that makes this stuff obvious.
I also dunno what to describe it on google.
Is there some image finalization settings that im suppose to do on photoshop?
Any of you have any ideas, lemme know!
thx!

A Day on Mars

Whooaaaa!!!...Dust stormed here at East of aussie!!
Soo exciting to have such strange weather...
I woke up and my room was red from the light out side..
When i went out i was like thinking...I'm on Mars...awesome!
The wind was so strong, everything seems dusty and deserted.
The next thing I was hoping to see was to see a tornado!

There should have more of these kinda weathers...
reminded me of eclipses and shooting stars...
Making life alil more interesting!
(despite the inconvenience, dusty surfaces, health and death of many living creatures and the screaming public in panic.)

It came and gone so hurriedly.
Nyways..all these here are some nice red pics...
This is Sydney. Newcastle aint got no fancy buildings.
So obviously they aren't mine...
My cam was with shin lin...
So wasn't able to personally take em shots my self.
Owh btw, if you guys think it is common for stuff like this to happen in aussie,
it aint...its unusual...

.....
Now, i can tell the people in Malaysia what it feels like to be on mars!
a poorly mimicked mars anyways...
but still fascinating enough for me live to tell my tale.

Nobbys Beach.
hur hur hur..another long over due post...
Only had the mood to blog like recently because me assignments are due soon
and when there are assignments...
I procrastinate alot...hahahhaha..
So here are some of the not so latest happenings.

it is spring!
the sun warms up the cool cool ambiance of aussie
and the beach is alive again!
However, there are still some people who choose to wear such 'appropriate attire'
and look so happy about it.

Whooo...so awesome to lie down on...
But damn sand gets into everything...
Bags, towels, pants, shoes, books, rice, dogs, koalas and son in laws.
Particularly my old camera which got killed by sand.
So people be very extra careful with ur electronics at the beach.

Thou we have came to the beach several of times at night and site studies,
We had never taken a swim.


I just thought that this was such a wicked epic shot.
Just so happened that there were two girls and one wearing a bikini in the background.


Coincidence?
Or did someone had a target for a glimpse of action?
......
Aha..im just kidding...

Insane freezing water.

Primarily, what i wanted to talk about in this post is that...
The beaches over at this end of the world is freaking insane!
Waves are massive!
well from afar it may look puny,
but the experience in the water was really awesome.
At one second, the water was around neck level,
the next, a huge wave that is higher than your head swallows you up!
Yeah, me and norm constantly got gobbled up by em waves and drank heaps of sea water.
Not really where i recommend you people to learn how to swim.

Sadly, we don't have no surf boards.
But if you make your body straight,
you may just slightly catch a wave.
Feel so awesome, i wanna get a second hand surf board!

Another sad thing that day was that there were no sharks.
No real live Jaws action...awh..
But we manage to find a tiny puffer fish on the sand.
It's dead.

As for these two boring people...
they regretted for not bringing swimsuits
camwhored and had no fun at all...
kidding, no camwhores here...

8-bit trip


Ooo..Eff..
this is such a friggin orgasmic video!
(Lol...just had to use the word...
thats the only word that i thought could gratify it after reading
wing hang's orgasmic caramel fudge ice cream topping post.)
Hmmm...probably not very appropriate if a guy said it...

Anyways!
This perhaps the most insane Lego stop motion ive seen so far!
It's a tribute to em classical 8-bit video games, lego style.
Awesome music composing too!
According to the creators, it took 1500 hours to make produce it.
Shit, i would be happy burn that much time of my time to make
something as cool as this.
Just makes you feel like making stop-motion.

Go check it out n see what i mean! Watch in HD!

i also thought that this one here was tooo hilarious...

A MidwinterNight's Laundry

Spring
the reemerging sun gathers the clouds

The day candle blows out
and a web sets off,
drawing an athirst spider from its winter sleep.
devouring its prey,
Vicious, Unforgiving,
Traumatizing.

Space
still cold and gloomy.

the only way to heat up
is to fire up a couple of cigarettes.


and Nature remains eternally beautiful.

At labyrinths end
wake up,
back to reality now.

. . . . . . . . . .


wake up...
wake up...
I rubbed my eyes several times too much
things are still delirious
still disoriented
waking up towards the horizon of a narrow escalator.
but ill come to soon.
Sleepy visions in black and white.
where colour is pre-defined as of dreams of time hereafter.

Cold
Exhausted
Confused.
But it is slowly coming to me.
Slowly...
The intensity(colour).
I see it now...

A late departure at melbourne's cold winter night,
Silence
Emptiness.
6more hours and ill board another,
but im for sure yet, what? or where?








A star
twinkling ever so brightly,
wrapped around the darkness of the lonely sky
I move towards it,
slowly and gradually,
the little dot of light expands
slowly i noticed, this is no simple light.
constantly switching illuminations in an oval opening.
A window.
why a window in the middle of all this darkness?

Curious,
I tilt my head forward to have a peak through it.
i see,
The sun changing.
The world moving.

Moving...
So fast...
In hyperdimensions
long exposure lines.
My skin, blown backwards by the momentum.
Tears being forced out from my eyes.
My hair turns white from the excitement.
The world, i see at the degree of most psychedelic.
I started to scream at a mute.
as I began purging out contents of a digesting meal,
deforming it self into clear liquid as it departs from my mouth,
drifting weightlessly in this insane black space.
Simultaneously, I engorge a never ending flow of pressure,
forcing its way inside me even as i remain throwing up uncontrollably.
gaping through my throat, veins, nerves and eventually my thoughts.
Twisting my mind, flesh and bone.
My senses have been pushed to its peek.
drowning in exhilaration too intense.
My mind was once again, going...
Going...
Goi...
in....
ng..
g...
..
.
Eventually,
I came to this dismal vast field.
Relived by the past psychedelic experience.
Awaking in confusion of a glaring bright sun.
This familiar sun.
This place.
?
?
?

First lucky 7 words i said when i just arrived here:
"Shit, I'm back in this shit hole."

Heya people!
It has been awhile.
This is gonna be one of those over due post which gathers many events,
which will result into a very long post, with many many pickitures.
It has been more than a month since i came back to newcat.
But before i left msia, i told ben:
"Nothing wan laaa, I'll be back bout three months time, like going NS oni. ok, now i needa catch my bus to kem newcat."
So, i found a new place near uni.
Share house with with 4other people.
3mins walk to my class!
So if class starts at 9am,
i can wake up at 8.57am!
Nearer than rachels and normans place. ha!

My super small room
but ill be moving in to a bigger room when my house mate moves out.

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?



I know some of you people(especially girls) are suckers for this.
the cute stuff.
Apparently, my house mate have dogs.
So again i have pets in da house.
Bowey
Stampy
looks like a midget here

I think of it like a bonus that there are pets at home.
(Thou, the dogs shit all over the place)
The first place i stayed had a cat.
Now 2 dogs.
Doesn't mean aussies love to keep pets.
Most share houses don't allow pets.
Nyways, after staying with these 2 types of animals.
I think i am more of a cat person.
Yeahhh...i like kats.
