02:minutes Japan

Whoa, long time no post. Time to resurrect my blog - for a good start with a short film I created while I was in Japan. I was inspired by the Japanese way of living and tried to capture it on tape. The footage was shot mostly in Tokyo and some of it in Nagano where I found a unique place where wild monkeys live. This film was shot entirely in HD with a Sony HDR9. Enjoy!

Final Project - Amepi video tutorials.

Today is the deadline for dd08 final project submissions so I decided to post what I have been working on for the past 2 months. This website represents a concept of sharing video tutorials in a web 2.0 styled environment. This final project was a great experience for me, I learned a lot and improved my skills in designing a simple and usable website. Unfortunately this website is not functional. To make this into a working, functional site it would require a developer to work on the back-end of it. Hope you like the concept - any comments are welcome!

Even a good designer sometimes forgets about important details while creating an ad for the rear of a bus.

How to design a website to “sell it”.

I found this website that does a crazy job of selling a product. In this case it’s a video tutorial (I think, lol). I have no idea if this marketing method is working for this guy but he created a LOT of text content for this site. I think this kind of advertising is like the stupid commercials on cable TV for the internet. Someone is making money on this… so I guess it works… ?

moved to new home…

Canada part 3, I moved! From a basement in Kitsilano to a “normal home” in Vancouver East. It’s not close to beach anymore but the new house is just great - the view from the balcony is pretty funny considering Its Canada.

On other news, new DVD tutorial comming soon to amepi. Stay tuned.

iphone… unlocked.

If you are a iphone fan, just to let you know a bunch of guys figured out in a 10-step way to disable the sim-lock in the iphone so you can use it on different netwroks (not only AT&T!).

** Update! Now you can unlock the iphone just using a peace of software…

seagull at sunset

This is probably the best photo I was able to take of a seagull. By the way, did you know seagulls actually LIKE when you take photos of them? It started going “craaa craaa kwwuiiikkk” when I stopped taking pictures.

amepi interface prototypes

Discovery is done. I know what I’m doing. Getting to planning phase for the amepi project. Currently working on my WBS. I think it’s the best way to visualize your ideas/project and one of the most important parts of project management. Anyway, I already did an interface prototype how the interfacemay feel like on amepi. Logo coming soon, stay tuned! It’s going to be cute…

mepi project.

Work on amepi tutorials is starting slowly. I have had two meetings with my mentor, Jacob Tran. We brainstormed a bit on the project and talked about what can be done. Really cool features developed… I think he is a great mentor for my project. The project is sill in discovery phase, I have a bunch of ideas for this project. Scope is getting big, so now I have to decide what will actually be done.

physical interfaces

Teleo

I’m currently involved in a really cool project for flash physical interfaces. I will be building a teleo pan/tilt system. VFS ordered 2 servo’s, and some other parts needed to build this system. What will it allow me to do? Well, It will enable doing a programed pan/tilt shot that can be repeated over and over. So think about a pan shot time lapse of a waterfront with a person swimming at normal speed. It sounds funny but this video is something that my system will enable you to do. I will post an update on this project as soon as I will have something to show.

back from Poland… music video in the works.

Just came back from Poland, it was wonderful to take a break. Unfortunately I lost a week of school and I have to catch up now. We are shooting a music video for a band called Burlap and the song is “Friends in high places”. The concept of the video is pretty crazy, hopefully we can pull it off. We have a great team (this is a 5 person project) so its pretty big. VFS is doing an interesting thing simulating this project like it was in a real production environment. I’m the assistant director of this so this means I will have to coordinate this whole project. I know this will be a LOT of fun. More info soon…
