A Wonderful Occasion



The first wedding video for SDP! :)

A personal thank you to all who watched and showed your support to my brother's wedding as well as for the video. I'm very sure too, my brother appreciates it in ways where words cannot express it. I'm really glad that after 10 years being into relationship, they finally made the firm decision to settle down. I pray and wish them to have a meaningful and joyous household!

On a technical side of things, I've actually prepared the first 40 seconds previously in order to ensure that I had enough to time to edit on the real day itself. But at the end, I still had insufficient time to do have a wholesome edit at the video.

Given only 3 hours or so, thank God that I managed to at least piece the footage together and made subs for half the video lol. For those who might be rather confused about the previous statement, for Chinese traditional weddings, it's usually conducted where the bridegroom goes and receive the bride (as shown in the video) early in the morning and then goes through the tea ceremony. Usually, they would want to display all that at the same night itself during the wedding dinner, so that for those couldn't be there to witness what happened can then watch it at the dinner itself!

However, this version is final edit with colour correction and complete subtitles so.. all in all, it took me around 8 hours to edit this clip!

If you're wondering why the song of Vanilla Twilight is being used for the video, it's simply because it was the bride's favourite song!

Oh and yes, I've finally completed up the page for my "Video Projects" (You can see it on the right side of the page)! After almost 7 months of establishing SDP, it's finally filled up .:)

Someone in Science with John!



Who knew from a favour done for a church friend could end up to something like this? I think the answer lies particularly to this awesome actor and friend, John Khor :)

The original version (or other words, academic version) of this video can be found at his wall but I've edited it to be more commercialized as there are too many medical jargon and can be rather draggy if not for following the format given by his medical lecturers.

We went to a few nearby locations to take the shots but it was rather rushed to the time constraint of the cast and not to mention of my own schedule as well. I had to discard some of the shots due to poor angling and actually to save myself the embarrassment of doing silly things as requested by John. I wondered why I even agreed to act those silly things. (Now, now, don't start searching for the original video :P)

I've discussed a thing or two with John after seeing his talent in this and we both hope too, that we can produce many more great videos to come.

Meanwhile, I hope that this video served you well in educating you about Louis Pasteur, the person who made the world realized the importance of washing your hands! (and lots more of course.)
