video design

Alberto says: Video design or projection design is a creative field of stagecraft. It is concerned with the creation and integration of film and motion graphics into the fields of theatre, opera,dance, fashion shows, concerts and other live events.

Video design has only recently gained recognition as a separate creative field.

 Prior to this, the responsibilities of video design would often be taken on by a scenic designer or lighting designer. A person who practices the art of video design is often known as a Video Designer.

However, naming conventions vary around the world, and so practitioners may also be credited as Projection Designer, "Media Designer", Cinematographer or Video Director (amongst others).

As a relatively new field of stagecraft, practitioners create their own definitions, rules and techniques.

Enchanting Voice

Ellen Says: Who has the most beautiful singing voice? Can you try and describe it? It can be someone you know, or someone famous.

You would probably agree with me that the young lady in youtube has an enchanting voice. Maria, my online friend blessed to have her as a daughter.

Koreanovela made me crazy..

Ellen Says:I have acquired a dvd of a 'koreanovela' and oh boy!, it surely makes me crazy everytime I watch it in my TV set.

Well, it seems I couldn't have enough of it that I was really craving for its next episode. I can't wait that long for the ending. At first, I thought that if I finish the video, I will never get interested in it anymore , but still there were moments when I felt that I really could not just get enough of its scenes , so I needed to watch the video over and over again.

The story really made me crazy. LOL...

blue whale...

Gbex says: Have you seen a whale as big as this whale? This creature has a tongue that weighs as much as an elephant and a tail as wide as an airplane. This is considred as the biggest animal on earth.

Blue whale is the largest mammal in the world and the largest animal ever known to have lived on Earth. Calves weigh two tons (1,814 kilograms) at birth and gain about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) every day during the first year of their lives.

Blue whales breathe air, but they are at home in the water, where buoyancy helps to support their massive bulk.

These mammals are found in all the world's oceans, swimming in small groups or alone. They often spend the summers feeding in polar waters, and undertake lengthy migrations towards the equator as winter arrives. Migrating blue whales are often spotted off the coasts of California and Mexico.

Fast Facts:

Type: Mammal , Diet: Carnivore, Average lifespan in the wild: 35 to 40 years
Size: 82 to 105 ft (25 to 32 m), Weight: 200 tons (181,437 kg)
Did you know? When a blue whale exhales, the spray from its blowhole can reach nearly 30 ft (9m) into the air.
Protection status: Endangered , Size relative to a bus:

don't do bad things...

Dom says: I got this favorite line from one of the Pinoy VCD movies that I already watched during the course of the week that passed.

The movie was made by an independent producer and that there is one popular line in which the actor, I think that was Richard Quan, who played as the father in the storyline, kept repeating it in several scenes of the movie for his gay son to listen to and obey, and that line went like this: "Huwag kang gagawa ng bagay na masama na maaari mong ikahiya" (translation: "Do not do bad things that in the end will cause you to be humiliated and give you embarrassment".)

The movie is a slapstick comedy but there is a deep lesson about overcoming one's weaknesses and strengthening family solidarity amidst crisis and turbulence. I admire the director of the movie for carefully coping up on the issues of domestic problems arising from an alternative lifestyle in this highly criticizing and individualistic society.

the making of dom--(De Outro Modo)

Gbex says:The title does not mean the making of my business partner dom, but rather the making of De Outro Domo. Watch my favorite fashion model Leandro Okabe after the jump.

i died laughing...

There's not much movies that I knew of and watched that I really died laughing, but when the kind that makes me so comes along, expect that I will race myself from others to get my ticket during its first day run at theaters.
And there is one that's forthcoming and that its trailer has been showing in Television breaks that everytime it shows up, I really could not help myself but to die in laughter. The movie I am referring here is entitled 'Manay PO Overload". Watch the trailer and you will see what I was telling you about...

I died laughing when I found this Video clip from Utube...Afterall, laughter is indeed still the best medicine especially these trying and difficult moments of our lives when prices of commodities has gone up, and problems here and there fill up our daily tabloids and newspapers....

going back to my roots....

While I was surfing in my Youtube account, I came across a music vid of my favorite song "Sarung Banggui"....

let's go crazy with chicken curry

Last night, I went to visit an Indian family in Makati for their festive celebration of the birthday of one of the couple's sons. Of course, I did expect a set of foods served on their dining table that were filled with hot and spicy stuffs. But from among the foods on the table, I loved most their chicken curry.

After devouring their chicken curry, I was so full and satisfied that Gulab was just so glad to see me scratching my little tummy. I asked him to teach me how to cook their kind of chicken curry and he gladly gave me his wonderful recipe. While I was writing down the ingredients and steps, he blurted out saying: "hey Gbex, don't tire yourself anymore. You can go to Utube and find the vid that deliberately teaches those who want to learn how to cook chicken curry." I smiled at him and felt relieved while still scratching and holding my stomach....and whispered to myself: "What a day with chicken curry!"...

The vid below will tell you the step by step procedure in cooking chicken curry....

the day i shouted Hurrrraay!

That was the day when my buddy's basketball team won the basketball championship tournament!...faculties, students, fans, and bystanders joined together in their great applause as the SBC team romped away the trophy and title: The Champion!
I could not also forget how my friends who witnessed the game with me really frolicked as they congratulated the basketeers!....such was a great and memorable feat!

the Golden Age of Philippine Cinema

Do you still remember them?.... in your time, in your mom's time, in your granny's time.... the golden stars of Philippine Cinema!

talent search

When I started viewing this VIDEO, I was kind of reluctant as I thought this is just one of the usual kind of vid clip from American Idol talent search which I have been keenly following up on its seventh season. I was wrong. Towards the middle and until the end of the clip, I was startled and moved by how one talent was able to get himself to be accepted in the next much awaited American Idol Seventh Season....
And he is Filipino!...
Long live the Filipinos in the field of Music and Entertainment!
