As part of my sharing of ‘video filming with HD-SLR’ to Freezed.asia members.  I am now taking order for the following equipment that are recommended for shooting video with HD-SLR.

1st in the list is the HDV-Z96 LED Video light, for just RM 220 a unit, it provide adjustable fill light constantly with just 5x AA batteries.  Come with a tilt-able shoe-to-tripod mount adaptor, a snap on light diffuser and also a warm light color gel.  You can stack many units of the light panels to form a bigger panel.  For more details on this, read this review here.

Next in the list is the Zoom H1 portable audio recorder, selling for RM 375.  Zoom H1 act as a high quality stereo Microphone as well as a standalone portable recorder.  Come with a 2Gb MicroSD card for you to start recording directly.  For more details, read from here.

Last in the list is the Rode high performances microphones.  2 models are being offered now, one is a Rode VideoMic Directional Shotgun Microphone at RM 390, and another is a Rode VideoMic Stereo Microphone at RM 680.  These are one of the highly recommended microphone to compliment HD-SLR by the many cinematographer around the world.

To get one of these, kindly fill in this order form here,
I will then contact you as soon as possible to complete the purchase.

Finally, as promised earlier, this is the slides that I presented earlier in the sharing session.  If you are looking to join one of these workshops, kindly send an email here with the topic your are interested in.

Months after the short d90 video I do for fun, here I am with a brand new short video, shot entirely with a Nikon D3100 at 1080p24.  Geared with lenses like 18-55DX VR, 50mm F1.4D, 70-200 F2.8 and a 24-120VR.  Here I present to you, ‘Static . Motion’.  Have a look and feel free to comment!

Here’s a small reviews from me after using Nikon D3100 for a short while, the 2nd generation D-movie from D3100 (and D7000 also) is ways better than the old version. The rolling shutter problem is almost non-visible now.

The new expeed engine and sensor also provide a much better low light performances; the most obvious improvement I noticed is got to be the very sharp video so long that you got the right focus compare to the soft, and low detailed video from D90, D5000 and D300s.

Last but not least, I will be having a small talk on ‘video filming using SLR’ at Freezed.asia on 3rd Dec 2010 and if you are interested on the topic, feel free to join and kindly share this page to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks to Freezed.asia, I had a chance to share on Time Lapse photography with the members on 19th Nov 2010.
It was a short sharing session, and I managed to pull it through with some slides and time-lapse videos I liked.

Many thanks to all that come and support and I hope you learn something from the session.

Please check this one of the best Time Lapse video I found and shared during the sharing session,

Want to do your own time lapse but have no idea where to start?
Download my PDF guide of Time lapse photography and have a read and feel free to comment.

The club members will also be having an outing on 30th Nov 2010 for a time-lapse try out at Fly ver bridge near Komtar Penang.  For now, enjoy and stay tuned!

Updates:
The outing with the club members is a big success! I can see many videos floating in from the participants already in facebook.

Thanks you everyone who made the workshop another success!  This workshop is arranged for D3000 users.

As the response is overwhelming, we have decided to split it into 2 workshop, one in the month of Nov and another one at Jan 2010.
Held at E & O Hotel, Penang, everyone had fun sharing, learning and enjoying the fantastic buffet!

We had the theory session in the morning in one of the cozy seminar room.  Things get excited when the specially arranged models arrived after lunch!

The shoots was carried out around E & O Hotel, and everyone were really enjoying the shoot, some would even go the extreme by lying on the wet grass just for that very low angle!

As I am busy capturing the event in video, I did not have a lot of pictures to share, here’s 2 shots on Stephy, one of the model from Velvet Production!

The video will be ready shortly after this, stay tuned!

If you are using D3000, and are interested to join the next workshop, please feel free to contact me!  Last but not least, feel free to comments!
