The JVC GY-5001

The 2nd camera I handled was the old school JVC GY-5001. It's a huge machine but it's not as heavy as it looks... emm... well, Im a weight lifter so probably most of these machine feels light to me. anyways, its a great machine with its superb lens (Drool over anything with a focus, zoom and iris ring.... lol) although the size is a disadvantage for certain kinda shootings but it makes most of what u need in an event shoot. I wouldn't mind using this machine to shoot my short film.. as long as i can get it cheap.. but iv to think of how to hide them when im doing a guerrilla production.. hahaha...

"Camera? what camera?"
"Oh, you are talking bout this camera looking thing mounted on my shoulder? it's a water bottle, not a camera"
"no joke, its just like those backpack with the water pack" .... sweats.. hahaha

well, we were doing a life broadcast that night and I had to stand the whole night cause again, its another non-stop action night... but i had a huge hardcore tripod to mount the camera on so i've no worries bout it. i think the only disadvantage i find in this camera is the LCD screen.. which is a wee bit small which makes it hard to judge if its' in focus and its a square screen compared to the wide screen standards in trend. the color is fabulous... not on the screen but i had another LCD viewer. it captures low lighting pretty well i may say..

anyways, another late night job...

Friendship vs RM1

What is RM1 or maybe a couple of $$$ compared to a friendship?

A lot of people nowadays lost touch with why they are created for.. forgetting why great wars are won or and how battles are lost. Too much of us are indulge in the materialistic world we live in now.. care too much for that piece of paper with a half cut head printed all over it... sad to say... money is really important... even to me who is surviving with that pile i have now trying to make a difference in the film industry... just yesterday, i was hovering outside the camera store, thinking whether or not to buy that video camera... But I need it... Need it to shoot, to chase after a dream to help others who are not given a chance to have hope again... but If I buy it.... I'll have to survive on RM1 a day for the next couple of weeks till my checque clear.. or mayb another month... and if it prolongues... il have to start grazing the grass outside....

BUT HEY YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE.... IM GOING TO BUY THAT CAMERA CAUSE ITS MY DREAM, AND I DIE FOR IT!!

shhh.... don tell my family if ur reading this..lol.. cause i know they will not want to see me in starvation

...hahaha... anyways... even at this kinda situation... I'll never let money $$$ overlap friendship... because I know at the end of the day, when Im strip naked and burried 6 feet under, you are all I have apart from my family... in fact... I would want you sincere and honest friends to be a part of me... my family..

needless to say, Im disappointed by some friends for the past couple of weeks... and hey, Im ok.. Im still surviving.. I've been there, done that... Don't have to worry bout me ya... :P cheers

Smiling inside out

Gosh, How can I forget a day when I sat inside a coffee house for 6hrs straight... emm... minus the minutes used to get to the wash room... :P I was really inspired by this one friend whom i find that we have a lot in common.. thanks for the Breakfast at Delifrance... if its not cause of me forgetting to pass you back your stuff... I think we won't have the chance to come out to meet and have a chat... emm... a long chatty chat... lol... hahaha... yeah, i guess I have to sweat the pastry off too after that...

Thank you so much for listening to what I have to talk bout... I really needed that.. needed to spill it out... haiz.. lately, I've been so bz with tons of stuff that I've no time to be with friends... today alone.. Im like rushing up and down all over the place... and right after I came back from Pahang... I've not stop... I think Im going to be sick soon.. but "NO!" Im not going to let myself be sick... not even for a minute or second... I'll hold it back till I go home for Chinese New Year... hahaha.... No Im not God.. but with much faith... I know I am able to achieve it. hmm... with what I went through just now in KL... gosh.. I had to walk under the rain and into cold shopping centers... all soaked up... well, I almost fainted in KL due to fatigue I guess.. and definitely lack of sleep.. with me sleeping on my table while typing last night.. i think, I've pushed myself a bit too far...hahaha.... but much to achieve... no time to even take a breather.. I had to search the whole of sungai Wang, Low Yat, Time Square, Pavillion and finally, KLCC within 2hrs and under the heavy rain... for a Video Camera which I will use for my short Films. I had to rush back cause Someone asked me to rush back to settle some pathetic phone line issue... anyways.. lets not talk bout something which disappoints me... so yeah.. I've a full day schedule tomorrow again...

emmm...
to all my friends... Im sorry that i've been a little too busy with my schedule and have not had the time to socialize with you all... know this, being with you all, seeing every1 of you with a smile will always be my motivations to keep going... seeing the sets of sparkling teeth with quickly brighten up my day even if Im to live no more the very next minute... I appreciate every1 of you all who are sincere and caring... and knowing that you will always be there when I fall brings a great warmth to my heart... I really really wanna thank you all and Pray to God that all YOUR DAYS WILL BE BLESSED!

And to Charlene Meng... Yes, I hope that we can chat again but this time, I will zip up so you will tell me your story... I've been too chatty... lol
