Music: Mahna, Mahna by Cake

pixelatedtheory’s motiongrafix is a 3-5min photo slideshow and is playable on any DVD player. It is included in my wedding packages and available as an alacarte item for my other packages. Pls sms/email to enquire.

Another one from the Digital harinezumi. I’m getting the hang of video editing. More videos coming up!

Btw the music is from the soundtrack of LittleBigPlanet, one of my favourite games (and my eldest too!) on the PS3.

As promised, here’s a video montage of our jalan2 (outing) trips using the digital Harinezumi. I also found out that my Harinezumi is hack’able via this blog, Circle Rectangle (p.s. beware if you are visiting this blog. Lots of poison inside!!! hehehe) .

If you have one, all you got to to is press the “OK” button and the shutter button together. At the same time, switch your camera on. If your Harinezumi’s version is 1.11 or 1.14 (like mine!), you will see the debug menu with the RGB settings. Just chg some numbers and voila! Your pictures will look like they’ve been xprocessed (well, almost) and you will also get a liveview on your screen which the Harinezumi doesn’t have in the first place. Sounds exciting? Apparently the hack’able version is quite hard to get and I was lucky enough to get it.

Music: Sweet pea by Amos Lee

I just did one for our Aisyah who has just turned 3 last month. I uploaded it to vimeo and her Nenek and Atok can just view it on my blog. heh. If you’re intending to make one of your own, here are some tips:

• Short is best. We don’t want to bore people to death, rite? Ideally the show shouldn’t be more than two songs or maybe about 7min at length.
• Choose good photos. Every photo should give that emotional response…at least try to choose photos which make your viewers laugh or maybe cry if they know you well enough.
• Music is pretty much personal and you may want to choose something meaningful. i would suggest something upbeat but not sickeningly sweet. Slow music will likely make your viewers fall asleep.

Of course, you can always engage me to develop your very own slideshow. I’m introducing the pixelatedtheory’s motion.grafix to all at $95 (usual: $150).

What you need to do is just snail-mail me a CD with all hi-res photos (rename the images according to the order you want them to be) you want to to feature in your motion.grafix. As a guideline, a 2-3min song can show about a maximum of 65 photos.

Your preferred music can be sent together with the photos in mp3 format or you can request for me to pick a song for you. You’ll also have the opportunity to review the motion.grafix online first.

Once you have given the ‘green light’, you’ll receive a personalised DVD containing your motion.grafix which can be played on most DVD players. An online version of your motion.grafix will also be available for download to be posted on any video-sharing websites such as youtube and vimeo.

Photographers are also welcomed to drop me a note on how we can collaborate and make slideshows for your clients.

(btw, thx nurul gum for the referral!)

It’s a lot more of shooting little people and their families this month. Good timing though because I’ve been feeling rather lethargic lately and need a change. But I’m excited to start another series of weddings next month. weehoo!

In any case, I don’t think vimeo can be embedded in multiply (yet!) so you all have to click here to view a short slideshow I did for Hasmu+Nadiah.
