This is a true event between an ordinary Penang-girl with an extra ordinary cross cultural love story!  Guat Har, the BFF of my wife,  came from Penang island, who has been running her business in Indonesia for many years.  Has met his true love, a local boy Rachmad. Since then they fell in love and had now officially wedded!

Earlier this year,  we were invited to the engagement ceremony – ‘Akad Nikah’ session earlier this year in Penang.  As an invited guest and unofficial photographer with limited footage & photos, I’ve made a fusion short film for them.

Today, the story continued, ‘Ah An & Ah Har’,  the nick names of the couple, has chosen Corner Club at Gurney Drive, Penang to celebrate their wedding with relatives and friends from Penang & Indonesia.  Once again, we are there as a guests but this round, with a little helps from JM Sim, a cinematographer of Motion In Style crew, we present to you the fusion highlight for the dinner reception.

We hope you enjoy the film we made, and feel free to comment and share.

A simple but perfect celebration of love, this is a wedding held in Penang; Andy & An Sin is now happily married and officially stuck like glue!

This is the same day edit video highlight, broadcasted live during their wedding reception at E&O Hotel Penang. Shot entirely with two Nikon D7000 and some lenses. The video was arranged and edited in 4hours time.

I hope you enjoy the film and feel free to comment, stay tuned for more!

Thanks to TY for inviting me to film this interesting short story.  A short film about a boy day dreaming in office, about winning a contest to visit Queensland.

The purpose of the short film was to join this contest and it was all planned, shot and edited in a single day with only me and TY.

Finally I am able to take a break from the busy month of March; And before I move to a new blogs site, let me share this wedding video taken entirely on Nikon D7000 by me under Motion In Style.

This is my first visit to Lone Pine Hotel after the renovation,  the new looks is very nice with the newly added building and facility!  I really enjoyed shooting there with the ambient.

I came to know Jimmy & Yin Ming thru a wedding planner, Antz few weeks before the wedding.  Unlike my regular work flow,  I did not have the chance to personally meet the couple and have no clue on anything about the wedding plans until the the actual day!  To be honest, me and CS Low quite nervous as we do not know what will happens next.

The whole ceremony was held in the hotel, from the morning gate crashing session follow by a garden wedding and then finally with a buffet reception.

We also met and had plenty of laughter together with official photographer, Alex Tan; in which also happen to be shot ‘accidentally’ inside the footage a numbers of time.

In this filming process, beside 2 units of Nikon  D7000, we used a numbers of lenses including 50/1.4, 70-200/2.8 and some ultra wide as well.  We bring along our custom made slider, a Fly-cam 5000, a few Z96 video lights and the portable Zoom H1 mic.

As part of my new project in collaborating with CS Low for Motion In Style Cinematography.  I present to you, our 1st wedding coverage shot entirely on 2 unit of Nikon D7000!

Paired with various lenses like 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.8, 70mm-200mm f/2.8, 10mm-24mm f/3.5-f/4.5 and many more.

It has been raining for the pass few weeks and finally, the sunny day is back with a really blue sky!
While I was doing my spring cleaning at home, I decided to take a break and went to my backyard with a D90 & a 50mm!
I spent around an hour capturing some lights, motions and shadows from various corners and here it is, the compilation of clips.

All shots taken with D90 & 50mm at various aperture and exposure, the clips then combined and adjusted in Adobe Premier Pro and finally exported to FLV for web viewing.
