My darling pixie and I fooling about with a video camera shamelessly at taman tun park by the little stream.....i'd like to say that gardeners were looking on in bewilderment but as I am writing this entry, pixie says 'where got gardeners look...exaggeration....' so yeah...but I am sure if there were gardeners they'd look in bewilderment....

We were making a video trying out for the amazing race....so camera's on...now what to say...how to start????

..very stiff-ly i said..."hi I am Linus...' and then she added I am zhiling...and we started breaking down and becoming more candid...or in other words silly

Having a camera then recording us for the next couple of minutes produced quite an interesting video to look back on in future I am sure, as we just fiddled about being silly and had fun infront of a camera...

... then extracting stills from the video produced interesting and very candid pictures that were a joy to view too especially to ourselves...and maybe to some of our friends....so I heartilly encourage you guys to shoot something just by placing a video camera still on a tripod and then doing silly things infront of it with your love one...later extract stills from it, print it as a photo or montage it into a series....to post on your blog....could be a nice momento for you and your loved one...

Have fun!!!! regards...froggie

HOW to extract stills from video...the easiest non-software way is to just press the photo button on your video camera while playing back your tape....ensure that a picture storage disc is in place though...software way...you could capture the video into a video editing software and then use the export as frame function...do note that some photos extracted from video requires a process called deinterlancing...a filter function in photoshop.

SiLLy MoNtAGe of PixIe and FroGgiE

Froggie always like to accompany a post with a picture of somesort on top but blogger's process of having to install picassa to upload photo prohibits me from posting pictures from a cybercafe...so sorry for my absence...need to get back online soon...very inconvenient to get online by driving to a cybercafe...

Anyway,life's hectic for froggie...as usual for an ever hopping froggie...and though sometimes I feel that I am overworked and tired needing rest, I still have this anxious feeling of not doing well enough for my age...so as my insecurities creep up on me I will suddenly feel a gush of 'wanting to do' and being human and only able to do so much sometimes frustrates me...then I need to calm myself....I have so much to do i have so much to do!!!!!!arrrggghhh...there goes my insecurities again!!!!

I guess it's about time I spread out my work...I often have work that do require assistance and I am trying to build a team for a tv show i hope to be launching mid year...yeah so if you are keen on joining this industry...if you have experience...come...if you don't.... intern...but do be serious before you come...don't expect movies = little work + lots of glamour...trust me it lots of HARD WORK!!!!

Also require model looking people to cast in the TV show...and also kids in sarawak wanting to be part of a film....

reebbit!!!!

CAST AND CREW FOR FILM INDUSTRY

I will not be able to post regularly for a while despite my new year resolution to post constantly and never again ignore my blog. However, life is as such and as if teasing and testing me a spanner has been thrown into my plans yet again...i've lost internet connection from home.

A buglar broke into my house on Saturday. My back fence got torn down...it is as if king kong robbed me... Taman Tun, froggie's new home and safe haven is unfortunately not as wonderful as froggie first imagined or raved about...it is too sadly cursed to human evils...why thou shall not steal? Well...all other reasons aside, it feels like shit to be stolen from...

I lost quite a significant sum of cash as we were in midst of a production and I was going through budget and my friend still had her angpows at home, a laptop and my passport. But aside from that, I've also lost all my documents,correspondent and photos on my laptop and alot of time to clean up the mess the robbers left. Emotionally, my carefree-ness and feeling of freedom is also lost and in place I have this jumpy worried feeling thinking... thinking when this would happen to me again...now I could be lying in bed at night all tranquil but the slightest sound from downstairs will get me running down to inspect...very very tense nerves...my windows once open for 'rezeki' to come in are now all shut...and it's a little gloomy...

But ah well...life's as such...i hope my nerves loosen up again...all the new hardened steel,cut proof,tamper proof padlocks(yeah right...marketing,marketing) should help and I've subscribed to hourly house checks...Now all there's left is a hope...I hope that all I've lost went to a good cause at the very least, maybe a labourer who needed a laptop he can't afford to buy for his child's education...or a sick wife needing money for medicine...let it not go for drugs...I'll never know but I hope and wish that at the very least as that'll come as a small consolation....lock your doors and keep safe you all...

Froggie got robbed...

2 days before the new year...a vet came...he checked my puppy's tooth...then he gave him an injection...it was relatively painless...then he stuck a termometer up my puppy's ass...he(the puppy) yelped! :P Meet my new doggie SPIKE! Happy Doggie Year You All! photos by Aaron Chung
