银临 - Backseat Stargazer





记得早前,我写过关于小时姑娘是国风音乐最好的

听了银临后。。。我想收回了(笑)


真的好喜欢她的歌,然后当我听到她唱这首英文歌曲时,还真的吓到我了

她的腔调好国际化,非常的标准。。。脑里马上想说你是何方神圣?!

然后查看了发现是南京大学外国语学院毕业的。。。

所以修读了英文吧。。。

非常的敬佩她学习中的成就也是


目前就很喜欢看她,听她的歌

然后很高兴我的微博帐号终于能用了


终于能关注在内地的动态了

Sony Supports Hikaru Utada Live Sessions from Air Studios





This is quite a useful video being uploaded by Sony

It gives some hindsight about what is the industry standard level of equipment used now for filming


Since its Sony sponsored, the equipments will just be limited to theirs

Its mainly the Cinema Line of FX and the VENICE cameras

Probably owning them alone would let me get a job already

Because it's really expensive with price ranging from ~$6000 for the FX3

To ~$80,000 for the new VENICE 2



Sony Venice 2



Its these scenarios where joining well-established company like Sony

would be really useful, especially when we get to try our hands on such equipments and learn more


For the VENICE 1, strangely it seems kinda grainy on images which I'm not sure why

As seen from their website, but people are still high-praising it

Probably something's off but VENICE 2 is no problem for sure

I think people are trying to balance the clear and natural factor together, imbuing tones

for the raw capture frames, and to cut down filter and post processing work for film editing


For me, I think getting the FX3 would be highly enough

It's quite reasonable to save up but I'm not sure if there's more stuffs to add up

such as the lenses which nothing comes cheap I feel



Sony FX3 (able to run & gun with by Director)



Still, I'm really appreciative for the hindsights given to us by the Director

I'm also looking into some equipments today to upgrade from my Sony CX

So everything falls together once again


Alright that is the technical bit of talk for today

Check out the video if you're interested and that's all.

Displate

 








Just nice things are ready to be collected on my off-day

Gotten this cool Gojo poster from the online Displate store


Its metallic and easy to fix on wall with the magnet


At first when collecting I thought its kinda bigger than I thought

But after fixing it back at home and looking at it

Its of the perfect size for my wall space


Anyone interested to get a poster from Displate, can msg me as I've got a 30% discount code

So there's that





Also received this clothing I bought from Mensclo today


Seems pretty cool and I really liked the design

Interestingly, it sorts of sync with what Hikki is wearing in her Bad-Mode MV?!

Unbelievable....not even planned


Then again, think it's best to wore it as a pyjamas in my bedroom

Probably too eye catching in view of public eyes

Soulmate




Dropping a music video out of the blue like a bomb

Pretty much just like how I do things (laugh)


It really makes my day though

Hers is one of the reasons and things that I live for


The camera works, the on-point expressive movement with the songs being captured, fulfilled and delivered

The videographer and editor is showing quite a perfect example of a good music video

I could probably create an analysis video and talk so much about it, on different scenes

Be it the camera works, techniques and even some things that I'm curious of?

But it needs time, motivation and effort which I'm sort of running low on some now


Anyway, I'm not sure if there could only be a pair of soulmate

Because I think she's mine

After so long, it's really hard to explain much

Theres time things and emotions just coincides on the same page from her stuffs

Even though we have gaps of age apart, and do not have contact with each other


I would like to think we're definitely linked on thoughts in someway or another

Alright, time to listen and enjoy more from the new song.... Bad Mode 🎵

Rules of Nature (Music Video) | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance


Ok so finally back and got the time and energy to write something

Metal Gear Rising has been one of my most want-to-play game for such a long time

The thing is its region blocked on Steam


Still, I'm no stranger to this game and I've already seen quite a lot of it in the past

It pops up in my mind once again and I'm definitely in to making videos for this game


The problem I've got with this is actually gathering all the neccessary high quality vids


Strangely YouTube player won't load the whole video fully even when I'm on pause waiting for it

Especially so on the 2160p60 4k resolution

Theres buffering issue and it gives me a hard time collecting footages to use






If not mistaken, theres kinda like a scene that feels sort of repeated

That happens due to some reasons :

1) The buffering issue resulting in back & forth scenes appearing in recording

2) I'm not sure if its actual lag stutter in the video editor playback due to pc performance
(needs constant rendering to rectify otherwise, which is much hassle)

3) I'm tired and rushing, its getting late and I'm kinda impatient wanting to dish things out


So with that said, it happens

My bad but well its a free project and I do learn more and more along the way


Anyway, theres definitely possiblities for more MGR:R vids to be made in the future

Because theres more theme songs relating to each boss and I could definitely make something out of all of them


Besides producing, getting media assistance also costs money

Simply because I think my vids deserves better


Alright, that will be all for the editing notes this time round

Hope everyone enjoys some of my vids

Stay Tune, Stay Awesome, Peace~

音柱・宇髄 天元 テーマ | 鬼滅の刃



Rushing another video out of nowhere

Well, it's a calling so I gotta do it

Not perfected but a new concept of compositing double exposure is being introduced here

Its pretty cool and I liked it


I can't concentrate to take care of every details here so I just try my best

And make sure the overall feel is not too off


Not much things to say but hope more people would enjoy it

Thanks a lot Samuel Kim for the awesome version of the soundtrack, love it

Bringing things to the next level from your side

We're here for a good show

Let's Go

最近这些空挡的休日。。。

我拼出了很多的影片

自己在某层次上,技术等等的应该都有提升了不少。。


但是


我也发现了很多可以进步的空间

比如更注意控制某些时候拍摄时的抖动,盘动方向

还有一个现在让我很在意的就是在最新 傲七爷 - 杏花微雨时 里的剪辑意外

就是开头到第一个的转换,看得到右边边有黑色的线条

那是我剪辑不小心拉到的框。。。导致这个后来仔细在白色背景观看才看到的失误

虽然我现在可以很容易的修好它。。。但就好像会觉得还是算了。。。

都传给人听了

就当作我以后要更加注意的提醒吧


歌曲的话,当然我非常非常的喜欢

好好听,能跟人分享,感觉好好

希望你也跟我一样喜欢,然后心情也我们一起好起来


再来就是那个采用的影片

不是我拍的,而是从 【火萤, 明月下西樓】 提供,感谢



然后今天我也收到了一些昨天申请有关的工作邮件

不知道是否有这个机会,能把自己制作影片的这些东西变成真正的职业

其实我觉得是可以的

希望在这新的一年,会有更多棒的事情发生吧~

南岛 Southern Islands


今天忙完后回到家,真的觉得好累

一直觉得自己不用赶着完成

一天制作全部东西感觉就有点夸张

但我还是做完了。。。



很遗憾,像歌所唱的一样,是我一人的旅行(苦笑)

就当作,工作吧

也确实一个人比较方便

但如果能有多一个人陪,会有更棒的体验过程吧





当然拍摄了很多的影片,照片

我不想放太多上来,就随便挑几张

岛屿哪真的很漂亮。。。


有的话好想带女友过来。。。呵。。





到了后面要返回船时,就开始天黑下雨了

心想真的是太棒了!

让我可以收集到更好的影片来剪辑

回家后发现我的太阳眼镜不见了

应该是留在船上了。。。|||



这 MV 应该算是我的首个全制作的 MV 作品吧

当然有好多的话与想法可以说

但忙到现在的我已经觉得累了,好想躺在床上休息了

也许晚点还能够再补充内容?。。。不一定


希望大家能够支持,点赞,甚至分享

我本身很喜欢的这一首歌与歌手,也之所以我会为它制作出 MV

请观赏与聆听。。。傲七爷 的 小岛


谢谢

2022

 



Its a new year

There's many video works I would want to make and produce

Needed time to settle down, relax and get back in to the mode after period of mundane work


As seen....

Of where I'm heading next

It's such a great atmosphere with the weather like this.....I'm really excited

The freedom to roam....preparing for weathered footages

....and even the possiblities of night shoot at the islands


Just hope everything turns out great, and I could finish what I wanted to next up

YU-A - 忘れられない恋 (Dance Live / MV)



I actually got something from her (laugh)

After commenting and wishing her on her latest music video '一人きりのX'mas night'

I believe she replied with this short story soon after 🤍 Thanks


I know its really hard to gain back traction in the entertainment industry

But it's ok, be happy

I believe in your singing and dancing abilities





Did some express editing work yesterday night

Its one of my favourite song of her and its been with me for maybe more than 10 years now

Thankfully everything turns out ok, and I'm still not rusty on cutting like this

Maybe could dish out with a better thumbnail, but we could always change it next time

It's quite rare to find a full footage for this song, so I hope some of my audiences would

appreciate and enjoy this music video which is not territory blocked

上弦の参・猗窩座 (あかざ) テーマ | 鬼滅の刃



Dropping some simple video content

This soundtrack is one that I really liked today

Enjoying the rock vibe

Not much to say for the editing, just some simple effects and clean transitions

Hope everyone will enjoy this soundtrack like I do~ ❄️


---------------------------------------------


Anyway, I've got some planning for my upcoming video works

It's actually 2 chinese songs which I've already sort of have the places in mind for shoot

Sadly, I'm still unable to find a female partner to accompany and help me on this

Its really something I want to look forward to, because of the places would be visiting

Especially to islands via ferry, which is definitely something I'm looking forward to capturing


Then of course, the challenge is actually to be able to find the female model

Since both are love songs, this time to up my level of mv production as well

I know I sort of need it to make better stuffs

Instead of the usual solo productions that I've did


Hopefully, I could find someone on this

Sort of like growing my production team...

It's hard starting things in the beginning like the old saying

万事起头难

Nonetheless, I'll try to keep my passion strong moving forward to next year

宇髄 天元

 



Though I'm not watching, it shows up to me and caught my attention

One thing I'm interested is that this guy has 3 wives (laugh)

It's something for me to learn from hahahah




Like being strong and capable enough in that regard

Would be good enough

BMT Muay Thai

 



Went for Muay Thai trial today

It's quite nice

Most of the moves are not too foreign to me

Just needs to practice on the forms and techniques

Signing this up will keep me active and be in good shape for sure

Another thing off the checklist




Looking old & grizzled with this filter

Forget about having a good look whatsoever here

Well currently my skin is not in good condition

Hope my beautician could help me out tmr

That's all for now

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

LIPPS Matte Blast | セシルマッシュ

 


This is my first LIPPS product if I'm not mistaken

Seen some highly recommend review and I've decided to buy it

Always liked to browse these different kinds of hair styling products time to time

Taking care of hair health etc.


Anyway this product is the BLAST series from LIPPS salon at Japan

It's Matte BLAST for the one I'm holding

Costs around $55, so its not cheap

Haven't got to try it much because I've only received it after I'm about to go out

The smell is nice though, different from the usual ones



https://mens-hairstyle.jp/lipps_shibuya/h/7492.html



https://mens-hairstyle.jp/lipps_shibuya/h/7405.html





Currently, the Mesh / Spiral Perm hairstyle is very popular in Japan

I'm definitely liking this hairstyle but most importantly is the colour

I think it would really lifts my mood up if I could get this hair colour now


Anyway more information about the styling at the links attached

The LIPPS salon is definitely one that I'm eager to try if I'm at Japan

Been on it since many years ago, seeing many great hairworks

Would definitely want a pretty stylist to attend to me too

Makes me feel and look good at the same time 🖤

Finally changed my phone today

Been using the LG G4 for so many years

I think the phone is really telling me that its time to let it rest

Battery life has become so short that it's becoming really troublesome

Luckily, I managed to get a Samsung phone at their store with a decent price

I'm really satisfied with it so far


Gotten quite a lot of things on my checklist done today

And I still got 1 more day to rest tomorrow, like this feeling a lot


Hope people are enjoying my latest video work

It's the last day of November today....

December....lets get awesome


Last photoshot with LG-G4

Friday Night Plans - Plastic Love【Studio Live/MV】



Earlier at night, while heading out to feed cats and listening to the song again

I got a strong urge to record and make something for this song

And here it is





This time I actually had to change my ways of producing

Instead of doing the cutting process using Windows Photos

I decided to do everything at Filmora instead


The reason is because theres frames delay issues using the Photos App

Its like whenever there's high quantity of videos to process, this problem will occur

And its just too problematic to keep trying to adjust

Especially for Music Videos where each frame and beat has to be crucially on point

So I've decided to make the switch and then get myself comfortable with Filmora now


So for this video, as you can see its rather short

Feels bad, but I can't finish the whole track with the amount of footages I've gathered

Its like I'm tired, but still, I wanna make something

And as impatient as I am when it comes to dishing things out

So I just decided to go with this


There isn't much transitions and effects as well compared to our last FNP video

But I tried to get the vibe close to what I'm feeling, and hopefully acceptable still, even in the long run


This song cover by FNP is really legendary I gotta say.....

I could loop it for so...so....long

Oh my girl, Masumi your vocal is so amazing

I need to drop a heart for u here

💜

宇多田ヒカル『君に夢中』




Once again, its time to dedicate a post to Hikki

For those not following, Hikki's gonna be releasing her 8th Studio album soon

And I'm definitely really excited for that

Not only for the songs, but also I wanted to collect a poster of her for so long

I think this is the best chance for me to get 1 by preordering through CDJapan when it's available


Anyway, her upcoming new song release 'Kimini Muchuu'

Will be out digitally very soon from the time of writing now

Think its gonna be tomorrow

Do check it out




I've actually edited and uploaded a short preview of the song on my channel

Unfortunately its only available to the Japan audiences

Audiences outside of Japan won't be able to see my upload at all

Nonetheless, the views are once again raking in a lot

It reminds me of the breakthrough video 'One Last Kiss' upload last year


Once again, Hikki's the one thats helping my channel the most

After all these time beside myself (laugh)


Thanks

Can't wait for the premiere of your new music video~🎬🎶

HYDE - FINAL PIECE





这首歌。。。。最厉害的就是它那开始的钢琴旋律了。。。

单单那旋律就足以表达出这整首歌的情感了

好厉害



因为 HYDE 也是你我所拥有的共同回忆。。。。

所以听到了这样的音乐,我也感受到了




 

Sunday, 21 November 2021



终于露脸了呢。。。。

你的上好佳

用我贯彻灵魂的眼光看。。。

很漂亮,一点也不会失望

说到好像很肤浅似的 (笑)

但其实对于这样好的歌手

外表对我来说只是而外的加分

漂亮的女生多的是,但重要的是她散发出来的感觉和她的心境


自从听到了她的歌,就一直很喜欢

特别喜欢她在歌词里表达的感情世界跟情感。。。(经历?)

就真的很喜欢


每当听到 ‘ 清空了 ’

脑海就浮现出一些我想象出的 MV 画面

与封面对比,就很想拍出来某种场景,色调。。。

我所谓的 不自然中的自然行动。。。。

好多想法

我真的很想拍出来这支 MV

然后我也需要找个人


忘了。。。不知明天你还在吗

希望还在

这感觉。.。。我怎么又没反应过来。。。。

Ṕəth

 




What's next.....once again seems to dawn on me

I know what people would want, and expect to see if its to be made


Not sure if I'm actually gonna be doing it exactly how it should be done or when

But....

Theres still more to gather, and I don't really have the patience waiting for all though....


Then again

It's uncanny how things progresses and is shown to me


Thanks

Wednesday, 3 November 2021




OnlyFans content?....Hahah


Anyway, it's November and reaching the end of year

This year is a really eventful year

Many new things, and more to come, grateful

As always, will be seeking to improve myself more & more

There are times when I wish I could have eternal life

Theres just so much to learn, do and experience

A normal human lifespan wouldn't be suffice


That's all for today

Peace out

Friday Night Plans - Meet us in the park we used to play. 【Studio Live/MV】



Finally gotten this video to be online and public

This time round, I'm off collecting footages to edit in for this music video work



I'm actually feeling this....

I could do this

A lot of scenes and style imageries and concepts comes to my mind,

whenever I'm listening to the songs I'm into


With companions around me, it would be more comfortable for me to collect

footages out there out of the blue when the feel and scenes strikes me

For example when everyone is just hanging around out there, outside the malls etc.

Queuing for drinks and etc...

Moments like these I could start filming comfortably and make things fun

So thats some thoughts I just wanna bring out of my head and put it here right now



Back to this video work

It might be the breakthrough effort video for me currently?

This might be the first music video I've added so much transitions & effects into

Its not even a hassle, its really fun for me actually

Experimenting with what Filmora has to offer in these regards, I'm pretty satisfied with it

Previously I've also got people introducing Davinci Resolve to me

But I've yet to try my hands on it, probably not anytime soon

Heard it's kind of like the industry standard kind of editor?

Well, do try it out for anyone interested though


So what I would say is depending on the song, the feel and vibe of it

Simpler production like this would be more interactive and cool coupled with effects and motions

So yeap, I could actually see the tradeoff here

Cheaper equipments, production tools, more effort needed on editing


Ok so that's all for my piece of thought for the editing notes this time round

Hope everyone enjoys the video, and song by Friday Night Plans ~👋

任然




今早工作时,本想回家后录个播客介绍一下这位歌手

但此时感到累了,没那精神去好好的录制了

所以呢~

就在这里简单的介绍吧



很多人应该都透过她的【飞鸟和蝉】而认识她的吧?

我则是听了她一些旧的歌曲而认识的

她给我的感觉,就像是日本的 Aimer 吧

华人界的 Aimer

当然我不想用另一位歌手来盖掉 任然 自己的个人特色

所以还是别太用这标签来标记着她

但她的声音就有那种类似沙哑效果的感觉吧


目前分享的这首 【无人之岛】,【硃砂】,【那年初夏】都很好听

当然应该还有很多好听的歌曲,不妨在网上搜寻听听看

the GazettE - BLINDING HOPE【MV Edit】




Another short edit this time

Revisiting one of my favourite J-Rock band for years

They are still packing the sound in their music and fans are definitely grateful for that

Time to time I would still listen back to their rock tunes

Though I'm definitely getting more wide and diverse now which is defnitely not a bad thing



I know it's already been quite some time since the release of their latest album『MASS』

But I still want to take the opportunity and time now to share something from them

So here it is



It's just some simple editing this time round, no any fancy effects or filter

Hope those who like it, enjoy it

Have a great day ♪

Something new~
