A.Roll.of.Film.a.Week.4.Everyone.is.waiting.for...



To the old man in his front yard, “you waiting for someone ?”He looked at me, “Oh no, I am just checking out those girls on the otherside of the road.” 老友你也在等人嗎?那個老伯伯說我在看對面街的女仔
“Who are you waiting for?” I asked the old lady in the wheel chair.
She replied “he passed away long time ago, I am waiting for my turn. We will finally see each other soon, hope he can recognise me.”
老婆婆,妳在等什麼?婆婆說:「老伴早去了,我在等死。很快可以和他會面了。」
Are you hiding? Or am I? She asked. “None of us are, just that sometimes reality is playing hide and seek with us,” I said.
妳在躲還是我在躲?其實我兩都在明只是世界越來越暗

Room from the Top


This is a fresh new perspective, it's almost like a 2D artwork in itself. Turn your idea upside down and run with it.

The Lost Explorer

A lot of fashion look book videos are very much very similar, a model walking around in some nice scenery such as Paris, Milan, some forrest, abandon architecture, etc...

I try to post more interesting fashion videos in here because they should taken credit for.

This teaser video did his job well, it really made me curious of their Fall Winter collection.

There also seems to be a trend of using miniature figurines these days but I'm not sure how it started, maybe you guys can answer that for me?

Renault's Amazing Alpine A110 Video

This is a great car chase video covering all the shots: Long shot, wide shot, close-ups, trailing shots, slow-motion.

The idea behind it was great too using the new Renault car racing against the same man Jean Ragnotti in the old Renault 50years ago.

A brilliant showcase of the new Alpone A110 and the original driving side by side.

Visual Doc on Tumblr

Now Visual Documentary is going to be on Tumblr as well as Blogger.

I've createed the Tumblr site because I want it to focus and present solely on me & my friend's work.

Blogspot is going to be blogging about our inspirations.

I find it hard for other's to view my work on this platform that is why I'm going to try and create two so I can present my personal work as well as my friend's in a more viewable format.

I hope this is a going to be a good start, please bear with me lol

Smashing Photos

Found these amazing photos back in April and I almost forgot to share and post them.

I don't have the photographer name so I couldn't credit him/her and link you to more of these graphical photographs but at least you might get inspired.

Le Miroir

A beautiful short film that takes us through a person's life in 06:20 and only in the bathroom.

I always think that the bathroom is the most personal space anyone can have in a home because your most likely alone and your hygiene, personal belongings, behaviour can be presented in a person's bathroom.

Street Fighter x Dragon ball x Pokemon

I was so bored out of my head that I took out my old collection and decided to take some miniature shots just like Kai did in Digital Rev.

Electric Blue Heaven

Globe video campaigns are always summery. With skaters, surfers as the focus of their products and amazing girls in the back/foreground distracting you constantly. But they always make decent videos and being able to capture amazing scenes and footage.

GoPro HD HERO2


Me and my friends have been making several videos this year and we've been making or going to record a few variety of videos. Such as short films, performances, interviews, weddings etc. We have two cameras: a Canon 7D and a Panasonic GH2. Both highly regarded in the video SLR field but sometimes they have limitations, such as protecting them from being potentially damaged, expenses to spend on their accessories or just simply not being about to capture 120fps (frames per sec) to get some nice slow motion.

GoPro is like the camera that can cover those flaws, mount it high above ground, go underwater, put it near an explosion scene and put it at 120fps to get some awesome production value shots.

There are cons to the GoPro of course, it's the fact that you cannot change the aperture, focal length, white balance etc. It's not the most technical camera but it's damn handy and you can afford it being smashed into pieces risking for your million dollar shot.

This video shows you more ways you can use and abuse your GoPro(s).

A.Roll.of.Film.a.Week

Why?
Firstly it's a perfect match with the name  of this blog. A visual documentary, a visual diary. The elements that are captured in each roll of film are like a record of my experience, my mind set my emotion and events. It may not appear as interesting to the audiences at the moment, but i do hope in the future we can witness an improvement in how I convey the meanings of my journey , as well as the actual journey itself .

What?
There are no themes, anything that interest me, anything that interest her.  When time goes by and when I look back, pictures may link and create a story underneath.  Life is reincarnation, events repeat itself, everyday life can be hideous. We all get lost sometimes, the important thing is how we find our way back. 

When?
A.Roll.of.Film.A.Week [(4.67+14.45)x52]-13x19.12=745.68

Mal nevets' Tumblr and Flickr coming soon.

Drift Motion

This is like by far the best car race video documentary that I've seen.

The video filter effects, the camera techniques and the audio was crisp.

It's nice to see that they added the extra layer of beauty into the video instead of pure recording the performance of the drivers and cars.

Speed of Light

I went out late last night with my friends and ended up waiting to catch the night bus ride home. As we wait for the ride my friend went to buy a pack of cigarettes.

"Just stay here and take photos while I go buy them."

So I stayed, and took photos.

Socks?

Socks are more attention these past few years when the guy are rolling up their pants.

The thing is that I never thought about how you can be judged by them, seeing as thought they are just practical wear and only the men on fashion blogs would consider them as a style accessory.

But this video made by the brand Stance has changed my mind. They broke my theory of the stereotype and showed me that not only the fashion concious men cares about their pattern of the socks, everyone does. From hipsters, rockers, skaters, bikers, hikers, surfers and even your girlfriend cares about the socks you wear.

Maybe you'll need to stock up on some socks.



Very effective video to broaden your brand's market and reach out to more varied customers.
