Instagram Camera? I mean an actual physical camera by....

Almost everybody knows Facebook bought over Instagram for US$ 1billion. Here I found this 'cool' little Instagram Camera Concept...

  The Instagram Socialmatic Camera is the work of designer Antonio De Rosa from ADR Studio, and basically it is a concept for an Instagram camera that will let you take photos and then print them out directly from the camera like a Polaroid, you would also be able to share your photos via Instagram. The designer behind the idea says that the camera would come with a 4.3 inch touchscreen, built in WiFi, 2 lenses, one for capturing standard photos and a second for 3D photos.

My first time on Lighting Writing Animation!

I'm always a fan of light writing, I used to post a lot of Lichtfaktor and Pika Pikas' work on my blog. Last night, I tried lighting writing ANIMATION, gosh, it takes tremendous effort for a 6 seconds footage. I did 'FAKE' lighting writing before using After effects which takes a lot of time as well, but the difference is you seating on your comfortable chair while the "photography stop motion light writing animation (which I call the real light writing)" I have to move the equipments, spending time in the cold, animate everything frame by frame. Anyway, I'm not complaining and the outcome is really satisfying!

Actually I did this for my Uni elective units project called "Text".I wanted to use AE and make a similar one to what I did before, but think of it, this is a good chance to get my lazy arse outside the comfort zone and try something new. Not sure how the whole video would look like but I'm sure it's gonna be great!(at least for me).I would update more on how and what did it used for this project soon.

Also, Thanks Myoung for helping me out or else I would have to spend 6 hours for a 6 seconds footage :)

This is my "FAKE" light writing video.

Will Emily Marry Him?

Currently was really busy in Japan, going for trips, filming and photography stuff. Finally got some little time to stay at house watching videos, photos and hopefully get inspired from those available video on internet. As you its really difficult to get a chance to travel because you gotta work your ass off to save money and stuff.

Well, came through this video on Vimeo's staff pick, actually I didnt want to post another video so that if anyone of you who read this blog wont think that im a lazy blogger(in fact i am), but this video is the most massive light writing I ever seen so far, and.. its a proposal video, how sweet was that. Must have put a lot of effort on it, but once in a life time definitely worth it I guess. I assume they already got married so wish them happy (lame, because i dont know what wishing stuff I should say to a married couple in English)

anyway, heres the video

Light Writing Proposal from Derick Childress on Vimeo.

I've been thru this and suddenly I missed it

These kids remind me of myself last time in primary school, not much to worry about, keep thinking of having fun all day.

Some of the photos are colour corrected, havent been using photoshop for a while and ive been really busy, cant be bother to correct them. well, I think the kids' expression is enough to make good photos, so photoshop... is unneccessary i guess, just have to let the photos to be as pure as the kids heart. :)

The "Mini" Guardian

use the the name because the video reminds me of the movie The Guardian, and with tilt shift photography, everything become so mini like in a toy world. The helicopters scene is really amazing.

Merry Xmas!! my light writing that havent practise for ages

Its boxing day today, and i didnt update this blog for ages! i even missed to post on christmas day. by the way these are some whack light writing I did few days ago. These 2 are the best already among all (draft), took me one hour to remember how to i did it last time and the camera settings. Hope you like it :D





some tips for the light writing here is that you don't really need a different kind or different colour of leds/torch. Just use one led torch and cover it with a cloth that you want, and i used green and red tee to make the colors.( original led color was white)
