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 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.

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.
