Dear Friends,
I am going to do some Stereo works to join this exhibition:
「港文化．港創意」展覽
http://www.huluhk.org/had/wp/?page_id=214
So the first experiment will be shooted at Central. I need actor/actress, stylist, crew, etc. The format is something in between photo and video. I regard it as "Video Portrait".
I have to finish this before 15 Jan 2010. Production time is really short. I guess I will do most of the shots at night (or mid-night). I am trying to arrange a meeting soon.
If u r busy but u still want to support, u can make a donation. haha~

if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper
Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.
Desire for an idea is like bait. When you’re fishing, you have to have patience. You bait your hook, and then you wait. The desire is the bait that pulls those fish in—those ideas.
David Lynch

books - 阿宅，你已經死了！
大家的喜好都是人云亦云，不過是怕被眾人排擠而選擇的興趣而已；但我們不是！我們是因為自己喜歡所以才選擇了它！而且就算因此遭受歧視，也一樣會選擇它！
我認為就要有這樣強烈的意識和自負，才配稱之為御宅。

侯孝賢電影講座
作者︰卓伯棠
我係好尊敬卓老怪，因為我當年入唔到 CTV 好失意，我讀 marketing 唔係 commu 人走去 sit 堂但佢冇拒絕我，其中一堂佢派咗 Andre Bazin 一篇文章 〝電影語言的演進〞，令我初次接觸法國新浪潮，開始走堂到 BU Library 睇高達 等人的 VHS，雖然好多時睇到訓着....大學之前覺得重慶森林好正，點知原來世上重有套嘢叫斷了氣，即時覺得自己係井底蛙...
柯比意
城市．烏托邦與超現實主義
作者︰徐明松
我係安藤忠雄 fans，佢二＋歲時在一家舊書攤偶然瀏覧了《柯比意作品全集》，當他發現柯比意並非建築專業訓練出身，而是跟他一樣自學建築時，他彷彿對柯比意懷著一種親切感，從柯比意身上得到莫大的勇氣。目前我已讀過市面上能找到的安藤忠雄書籍 (大陸和台灣)，一知半解，今日開始嘗試認識柯比意，希望好似村上隆所謂：打開歷史的抽屜可以看見未來。
寫真的話
作者︰荒木經惟
打從我日本雜誌之時已經開始見到佢 D 相，我冇睇過佢 D 文章，但被佢 D 作品吸引，好奇怪....明明D 相好似龍虎豹果 D....但又有種莫名其妙的魅力...再加上我 D 台灣 Flickr friend 都睇呢本書.....咁就買咗

clarification for RED Raw
Source:
http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32649
Point of clarification: for a long time the term RAW was used interchangeably with the term uncompressed - that is not what is meant by RAW in RED world. IF you have a newer, higher end digital still camera you may have noticed that it offers RAW or JPEG image types - in this world, as with the RedOne, RAW refers to uncorrected sensor data.
There are a number of advantages to having access to all the information the sensor originally captured, even though it may look flat and have a color cast (particularly with a Bayer pattern CFA, but let's not get too technical until you understand the basics). In order to turn this RAW data set into a pretty picture it needs to be de-bayered and (typically) turned into an RGB image that can be used in common editors and other image manipulation tools.
The cool part is that you get to have input into the specifics of that conversion process when "developing" the RAW data set into RGB rather than being stuck with a pre-determined matrix that simply makes a conservative "best guess". Beyond that, if you have mis-exposed footage or a less than perfect color balance you can adjust that with much less degradation of the image. You also have a much greater range of color and can execute creative "looks" with much greater precision and the ability to preserve specific aspects of the image while messing around with others.
quote from Blair S. Paulsen at Reduser.net
http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=32649
For the record, RedCode is based on a wavelet codec and is compressed in the neighborhood of 10:1. One of the amazing things about the way Graeme and the Red Team have done this, is that the compression has very little negative impact on the image and makes the size of the files the camera creates manageable on newer desktop computer systems. Common and affordable tools like the newest Final Cut and Adobe Production Suites running on proper hardware (plenty of RAM, newer CPUs, decent GPUs, etc) can handle the job for less than $10,000 including a reasonably decent monitor (the HP DreamColor comes to mind).
The typical track for "roll your own" correction and post is to open the r3d files from the camera in one of the free RED apps (Red Alert is the easiest to learn or perhaps the recently released RedCineX), then play with the image until you like it and transcode it into a format appropriate for your NLE and project deliverables. There are better and faster (and more expensive and/or complex) ways but I suggest you start with the above and go from there. BTW, there are some tutorial videos and tons of information all over this forum so if you are serious and have some background in this field you can figure it out.
If you are interested in someone teaching you all this stuff, RED has recently started REDucation. If that doesn't suit you, there are a number of folks like myself who can be hired to tutor. Best of luck-

My short video
I check the referrer from my Vimeo.
I never know my short video was mentioned in a France Website:
Shanghai filmé avec le Nikon D90
http://cressmedia.fr/?p=2049
"Qui aurait imaginé qu’on filmerait un jour les courts-métrages avec un appareil photo ?
Ce court-métrage de Cheng Ka Chun a été tourné à Shanghai le 12 décembre 2008 avec un appareil photo reflex, le Nikon D90, au format HD (1280×720 pixels). C’est la première fois qu’un appareil photo fournit une telle qualité vidéo au point d’être comparable à celle d’un caméscope. Bien sûr, tous les plans du film sont tournés en plan fixe et sans zoom mais le résultat est bluffant. Le réalisateur s’est même permis de tourner de nuit en jouant sur la profondeur de champ (scène où elle tape sur son téléphone pendant que l’on aperçoit derrière elle le portier de l’hotel). Je laisse le mot de la fin à l’auteur du film :

抓住了剪刀抓不住命運
昨天看了 coco before Chanel
我喜歡這電影，
我喜歡她的簡潔而不賣弄形式
我喜歡她極少話外音，無當我係白痴
我喜歡她尊重人類行為的復雜性，而不是以意識形態的標準來把人類簡化
情節的推進是典型的，但人物是存有瞹眛性 ( 我認為 )
我認為電影是成功的，可以講係雅俗共賞。
生活是存在模糊性的，同時它也表明，真正的電影並不發生在銀幕上，而是發生在來看電影的人的頭腦和眼睛中
近年少看了電影，並不是不喜歡，而是..生活比電影更電影...
