Farewell, Malaysia

By Chewxy, on July 24th, 2007%

And thus, it is done. I have met up with the last of my friends here in Malaysia. The last meet up was Aaron and Irene (and by some odd coincidence, I invited two Aarons and two Irenes yesterday, but only one pair managed to make it).

With that over, I’m moving to Australia. Period. In fact, . . . → Read More: Farewell, Malaysia

Random Stuff

By Chewxy, on July 19th, 2007%

More random stuff since I haven’t really worked on my movie yet. I did a trailer, and with Jien Han’s awesome scoring, it felt a little right. Anyways.. I’ve temporarily changed my themes (hint – new one, which is better than the NYTimes one is coming). This temporary theme is more German XD
So, here are some random stuff and photos.

  • Pwnage! I pwn Abel and Hashie. Here’s the screenshot. Look at my kill count and compare it to theirs. I pwn
    Sarjan Jamil is of course, Hashie. It was gg.
  • Random Cat picture! Here’s a picture of a kitten I took and rescued the other day…
    Baby Cat
    We didn’t adopt this cat because Tigara (my current pet) was extremely wary of this little kitten. Furthermore, we found the kitten’s mother, who came to collect him after we fed him milk (through a Yakult straw). Go on, say it’s cute! Continue reading Random Stuff

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – A Review

By Chewxy, on July 12th, 2007%

I caught Harry Potter and the OotP last night with Wan, after a nice dinner with my cast and crew last night (of which I had to foot the bill, lol). So here’s the review. Briefly, I’d tell you to AVOID this show.

Right, now to the proper spoilery review.

The Wonders of Color Correction

By Chewxy, on July 10th, 2007%

Just a picture.

Tools used: Color Finesse on AfterEffects, Magic Bullet Looks Suite to give me that nice final touch.

Somehow, the resolution also got bigger along the way. I think that was my setting error. But the cropping was intentional – to make Alfred’s head look bigger, and cut the boom mic from some frames (heh, I . . . → Read More: The Wonders of Color Correction

Two Words

By Chewxy, on July 7th, 2007%

Two words for awesome color correction: Absolute Curves and Color Finese (and Magic Bullet to finish it off)

Two words for masking: Tedious and Tiring

Two (thousand) words for before and after:

Seriously… This Sucks

By Chewxy, on July 4th, 2007%

I’m kinda disappointed in myself. I got the raw footage from Edmund, and lots of it were unusable. He had so kindly pointed out a lot of eye-level errors that I made (nothing could be done to fix that!!!!!!) and a lot of noisy footage (especially on the last day of shoot, lighting goes haywire)

I mean, if pictures are going to look like this:

Bad Screenshot
