Why go HD?

High Definition is a format introduced by AV giants in which the resolution has a quicker interlace speed compared to normal cathode ray tube (CRT) which operates at a lower interlace speed. Since the eyes can't detect the interlace process, the brain interprets the images as moving in harmonious flow.
You can use a hphone VGA camera or a compact camera to see the 'flickering' effect but it is impossible to detect the flickers on HD TV. A  florescent bulb flickers at 1000 times per second thus the light seems to be glowing continuously. HD TV is specially made to work perfectly with HDMI cable, the perfect footage you see on the HD TV at the shopping mall should not sway you. Look at the video player which feeds the footage. Normally they play BLu Ray disc in order to showcase crisp and highly detailed pictures. If they use normal coaxical cable (terrestrial TV), the image will be of less quality and of course it can affect the customers' decision. When you change the setting of HD TV, make sure you opt for 16:9 widescreen mode. If you want to watch high def pictures, buy a  Blu Ray player. Even a post-paid TV company could not provide HD format for all the programs shown. Only specifically selected programs are availabe in HD. The rest is still shown in standard definition eventhough the receiver utilizes HDMI.

Wasp sting (common sense prevails)

Two wasp nests were found dangling precariously from a tree branch, waiting for Mr gravity to pull them down. From afar, it looked like the nests were as calm as Daim's face but the buzzing inside never failed to stop. I immediately called the fire and rescue department and before the night shifted to morning, the nests were already history. Two brave firemen managed to 'subdue' the sim card sized monsters. What i'm trying to convey here is about the inability of  a few men who have proudly accepted the self-appointed positions, 'welfare department'/ security department/ fund collection department...you name it, they have it all. I mean, these guys are a bunch of hilarous freak show wannabes. I did not go through them and still managed to call the F&R. They are everywhere but always in that same old group of cronies.Talking and talking and the only action is from the movement of their tobacco stained lips. And the service I know they're offering is only the 'lip service'.

feel the heat

Why do we have to succumb to the so called 'Earth Day' campaign. We should ask ourselves these questions repeatedly, of course before switching off the lights. How many sovereign countries abstained themselves from voting in favour of Palestinian people who are being victimized on daily basis? There are more than the digits you have. How many VIPs left the UN building when issues were raised pertaining to these people?
Yet we still want to participate in whatever the events they throw at us. Congratulations everybody!

Indefinitely yours

The phone keeps on ringing. Questions asked and answered in a matter of minutes. Sometimes they agree but cancellation is expected as there are too many possibilities ahead. Cheaper alternatives are abundant. It lures the customers and of course 'customers are always right'. It is a norm in this industry where you have to decide whether to keep the price tag above par or suffer the effects. Maybe it is better to balance the price and let the volumes send you smiling all the way to the bank. Sometimes you have to symbiotically connect to different hosts to survive and of course there will be obstacles up ahead but make sure you utilize the less significant 'side mirrors' quite often nowadays, just to make sure the 'tsunami' does not run you down.

Tolerable mistakes


A few years back, my hardware was so basic. The post production quality was not that palatable. I was in conundrum. Then I stopped. I decided to concentrate on something else which was a stark difference from my real passion. It managed to steer me away and it did provide useful distraction after all.To cut the story short, I bounced back and muster the remaining energy. I did simple but thorough research and made a few phone calls...I waited for a few weeks and the hardware finally arrived. Now after doing some field and technical studies, my confidence grows larger. The market begins to spread like wildfire and as long as the lens is able to capture the amazing sparks from your smiles, the venture will remain steady...as steady as my Steadicam Studio 1081. Just smile and let the lens capture the priceless moment.

Don't be in pressure cooker


Don't burden yourself doing a lot of thinking for that special moment. Your parents, relatives and friends are there to help. Let them help. Let it be in 'chaos' because that is the essence of everything (positive chaos). Spontaneous reactions trigger and spark happy moment. Do you agree?

My friends also had the same experience

Talking is the best way to mirror your image to your lover. This is true as the image will be as clear as my handycam lens. The pulse is tremendously outrageous (first date maybe) but don't over do it or you might spoil the so called 'romantic atmosphere.' Yes, I am not an expert in this field. The problem is, I have to train myself to feel the mood in order to capture the best footage. I am terribly amazed with the sci-fi effects in the Star Wars sequels. My heart is so atuned to X-men genre. I am so stiff and always dreaming to be like Arnold (The California Governor) but now I have to acclimatize myself for a new environment. I watch discovery channel, Survivorman/ dirty jobs and etc but at the same time I have to watch Nona and wanita hari ini because I must have the 'feel'.

Happy couples out there!

Tell her that you love her so much. Hold her hands (of course u should do this after nikah) and tell her that I am there to record the biggest moment. Pick up the expensive phone and call the number. Don't wait.
