Dinner Highlights 070915

2007-09-30T22:14:00.000+08:00

Dearest Katherine & Francis,

Just tried calling but I guess it may be honeymoon at Phuket. I have finished all your Wedding Videos. Here's the dinner highlight, I just need Uncle's photos to prepare the packaging.

Hope you guys like...

Express Edit :)

Pre-Wedding 070928

2007-09-29T01:16:00.001+08:00

It is the same old story, my dearest November 11th 07' bride calls to whine that she topped-up too much for her bridal studio photographs. But they were very nice to rush the photographs for me to edit their photo montage.

I "ROFLOL" (Roll On Floor Laugh Out Loud), when she showed me the photos and suggest they be edited with Uncle Tiny's Photos and my footages from her E-Session Wedding Invite

Long story short, $200/hour for my videography is very reasonable, i have to admit that for my photography is a little, eh.... Stupid :) So i invited none less than 4 of my very kind and beloved superstar photographers buddies along. FYI, that is a $1200.00/hour value!!! Excluding the very helpful assist, ExpressivelyEric.

A big Thank You to all you guys, and on behalf of my super cute bride, love you all deep deep! :)

Engagement Session - Orchard

2007-09-26T05:41:00.000+08:00

Engagement Sessions are very much a Photographer thing were it allows clients/brides to get to know each other better, effective to build chemistry before their big event/day.

E-Sessions are new to me, I am more familiar with scripted Pre-Wedding MTVs. This is only my 3rd and I already have a few confirmations and quite a lot of enquires. I enjoy it a lot, hanging out with couples and working with fellow photographer buddies.

My current $200/hour applies for E-Sessions but only for my Actual Day Wedding couples as a bonus. Such videos are considered Pre-Wedding MTVs and $2000.00 inclusive of 5 hours of video shoot for non-AD clients.

I have to spell it out cause they are as tough to shoot and edit..

jOhO and I edited this video together, it took lots from the both of us. Like it or not.. I do! :)

Engagement Session 070923

2007-09-24T11:31:00.000+08:00

Worked with joho and his sidekick Eric on 2 events this weekend. Yesterday's Engagement Session was a blast, the plan was to start from Wheelock place and finish at Centerpoint in 3 hours. We had to stop after 5 hours and only managed to reach Wisma Atrium...

Gate Crash Highlights

Here's last saturday's "Gate Crash Highlights". I am so proud of Francis for his "Priceless" negotiations...

070915 - A Lovely Day

2007-09-16T15:10:00.000+08:00

A loving couple with very nice families and friends that entrusted me not to disappoint, I am reminded why I enjoy weddings works.

It was so much effort to make this video. Uncle YuHsin was robbed his precision afternoon's rest. Allan had to look after their seperate "Gate Crash" highlight video. I used up all my 6 hours to present their DVD before their dinner reception.

This style of express edit is currently exclusive with TinyDotPhotography, with many conditions to apply, including our full artistic license.

Final Cut

2007-09-12T20:06:00.001+08:00

Yeah... I am ready for this weekends express edit after a short 4 weeks break. I been trying out a new workflow to suit my new style of highlights.

I quite like this version of Roz & Fauzi's wedding shoot and will be making it to my new website, coming soon...

Post Wedding - OutDoor

2007-09-11T19:59:00.000+08:00

Another Draft. I have to stress that this and the previous video are both drafts to practise my speed editing for upcoming Actual Day Wedding express highlights.

Post Wedding 070909

2007-09-10T21:04:00.000+08:00

The last 2 weeks of still photography has helped my angles. Had lots of fun yesterday with Stan Topix Studio shooting Roz & Fauzi's Post Wedding. Can't wait for his photos to start editing with my outdoor footages. I still favour videography :)

The following video is only a draft, edited in 2 hours to practise for my Actual Day Express Edits starting this Saturday.

張震嶽 - 就讓這首歌

2007-09-07T23:11:00.000+08:00

Damn Beautiful video.

Hip Siong 070906

2007-09-07T00:22:00.000+08:00

It was a nice change to be behind a still camera today. Thank you to Uncle YuHsin for letting me use his very expensive equipments again and his lovely couple for their smiles.

2007-09-05T22:52:00.001+08:00

I used the Canon EOS 40D and it's 17-85mm kit lense for this afternoon's Pre-wedding location reccee. Many thanks to Kenele, anyone interested to rent it or any photo/videographic equipment, please contact him thru' ClubSnap

EOS 40D

2007-09-05T00:33:00.000+08:00

At the Studio, i took photographs of BIL's photos.. Let the 3 SuperStars try out the 40D. All think highly of it, colour, burst rate, build. No complain from them 1D and 5D users..

vLog 070903

2007-09-04T00:46:00.000+08:00

BIL took me along to be the 2nd official photographer for last nite's Mendaki Anniversary. Luckily, Uncle YuHsin was kind enough to lend me his big camera, if not I would have looked cartoon among the many Press Photographers.

Kenele is also so kind to lend me his brand new D40 to Unbox and try for tomorrow's "Hip Siong" Session with Amos.

I really don't know what to buy... "THE" one i really fancy is too good for my skill and usage, the ones that are good enough, or well... can use but wont fall in love..

vLog 070828

2007-08-29T02:49:00.000+08:00

Spent this rainy afternoon "Hip Siong"/ photographing more secondary school kids. It is again good fun working with the other 2 SuperStar photographers, but I need the EOS 1D S MK III.... please?

Madonna - Rain

2007-08-25T19:00:00.002+08:00

I am horrible with names. During this afternoon's meeting with an 08' bride, i was humming this song throughout. Must remember that her name is spelt with an "E".

柯有綸 - I Miss You

2007-08-25T01:45:00.001+08:00

I've had this album for a while.. Only when i saw this song's mtv did i realise it is about his deceased dad and not some ex-girl friend.

Thank You, Steve.

2007-08-24T23:51:00.000+08:00

Stevie is such a pal, sent me #002. I called to thank him but only got his assistant. Apparantly, 003 went to Bill Gates and 004 went to another local guy, a Mr Sim. My cellular is not an Apple, yet.

For My New Site - iVideo

2007-08-22T21:16:00.000+08:00

Brother-in-Law, or as Uncle calls him "BIL" topixstudio, is so good to me... i casually asked to use the studio to take few photos of my DVDs. He set up 6 lights, table, back-drop and arcylic sheets for me to use his full-frame camera and lenses. Then, spent so much time editing to "Mac" look for me. Oh, while Uncle drank Kopi, whined like an Old Aunty and played his stupid baseball game on my Xbox....

I selected 100+ ablums for the new site's gallery. PhotoShop macro on my computer for the "Wet" look takes about.. half a second each.

Justin & Esther's Wedding Invitation

2007-08-17T00:09:00.001+08:00

This video is edited to be used as a Web invitation. The rest of the footage recorded during the engagement session will be edited into a video with their Childhood and Pre-Wedding Photos, and played before their Wedding banquet's 1st March-In.

I also gathered footage in an interview session back at the studio, where they talked about their courtship and thoughts about their wedding, to be delivered in a DVD for rememberance.

This couple is genuinely in love and excited about their wedding day, I am sure that I will again have a fun-filled day with Uncle Tiny, this 11th November.

Relax, Take It Easy.

Bye Bye iMac

2007-08-13T17:09:00.001+08:00

You were love at 1st sight. I still remember carrying you home from Funan. We spent sleepless nights editing videos and surfing YouTube for our blog CarAreOK.com

When all Mac Fanatics were against your Intel heart, you won mine and put my G3, G4 and even my G5 all to shame.

Please do not be sad, I am sure your new daddy will take good care of you, like i have been. Maybe even better, since you will finally have a mummy now. Don't worry, I will make them promise never to run Windows on you. If they try, just crash and rest.

You gotta go cause your big brother, MacPro 哥 always thought you guys don't look alike. The new iMac will have a more familiar face with baby iPod and our expecting iPhone.

On behalf of all the wedding couples that you have captured, edited and presented them life-time memorises of their wedding in DVD, i thank you..

2007-08-13T02:11:00.000+08:00

Yeah... just have artwork for DVD casings and discs and I'm done with wedding backlogs.

I had entrusted Joho with my camera to get well wishes footages, he used it as a toy to play with kids!

A Couple's Wedding Site

2007-08-09T01:36:00.000+08:00

Check out this couple's comprehensive wedding site. As of now, their AD is 3 months away and every thing imaginable is planned.

My couples leh... so many of them only have their schedules ready the week of their wedding. I even had one groom that gave me the wrong block of his bride's address. Luckily no one came to the door of the same unit of her neighbouring block.

Valentine @ Far East Plaza was heaven. spent hours putting the needle on the record when the drum beat goes like... practised endlessly for friends' birthday functions with rented mobile DJ consoles and strobe lights that made everyone walking around look like robots.

2007-07-19T00:01:00.000+08:00

Met a couple of wedding photographers to stir coffee.. Were talking about newbies in the trade, and their lack of creativity for their own .com address. Pilagraism often is a sign of respect but sibeh not shy one lor..

I came up with this site address:

Lumix LX2

2007-07-12T22:14:00.001+08:00

And the winner is Panasonics Lumix LX2. I finally went for one... Yah yah.. it ain't no Leica but at least it is black and not the plastic looking silver that Uncle YuHsin has. Oh.. the test photos are from "Old Airport Hawker Center", only some of the familiar stores are still around, and i think it may be called New Airport now.

One Man Band

2007-07-10T14:18:00.000+08:00

Uncle Yu Hsin just told me that on Actual Wedding Days, on top of his two Canon 5Ds and his spare 1DMkII, now he wants to carry along a Bessa Voightlander. That is on top of 7 "L" lenses, 8 CF cards and ZigView. And since he doesn't use flash normally, he brings only 2 EX580 and 1 Quantum Turbo. His camera bag is bigger than videocamera bag! I foresee he will soon also carry his Hassleblad H3D.

Below is how i imagine him if he was a musician.
