Canon C300 Video Camera Launch!

Hello I am back again. Let's cut the crap and get to the main highlights!

Thanks to Songwen I had the chance to experience the launch of Canon's latest industry video camera, the epic C300.

That is Vincent Laforet giving his speech, Mr. Laforet is a famous French American photographer based in New York. He shoots for Life, National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair.  Check out his official website here: Laforet Visuals

Basically, Canon took principles of the 5D DSLR and developed it into a proper movie camera. The sensor is a conservative 8.3MP, and it records 1080p video in each of the three color channels. These pixels are big, for good low-light performance, and the movies are recorded to standard CF cards.

C300 records in the open-source MXF (Material eXchange Format), can capture compressed MPEG2 Full HD, uses 4:2:2 color sampling and hooks up with all manner of movie accessories.
OKKKKKKKKKKKKK enough all this technical stuff.

Check out Vincent Laforet's short film here: Mobius

Leave it to load a while, and come back to watch later.

I have never seen such crisp clarity and details on the cinema screen before. It totally blew my mind!

How they mounted the C300

Some behind the scenes stills!

I am surprised  at the amount(little) people who worked on this short film, and most of all they didn't need much light for filming in the darkest places, the ISO could be set to 20,000 and the best part is the video did not come out to be like the bad noisy photos shot on a DSLR, in fact it looks like very fine film grains which you see on some indie films. This short film only took 3days to complete!!!

This beam of light is produced by...beams of light look below!

Two moons, one created by beams of light, shine during tribute at Ground Zero, 2003. You could buy the print on The New York Time Store: Two Moons

Bad power failure which affected Eastern USA and Canada, during sometime in 14 August 2003. 38 years later after a very bad power failure in 1965.

My favorite photo! Looks like toy models made behind Mr. Laforet's backyard. Private air planes of millionaires!

Applications Vincent Laforet has on his iPhone! Download it all now!

Other ways of mounting!

Small, compact very portable. Easy filming in small narrow spaces!

Btw this baby here cost $20,000.

For the performance and such for the amount it is totally worth it!

I'm ending this blog post with a photo of Vincent Laforet and me!

I am so unglam...you know I have my days of being an otaku alright.

Ciao people be back soon!

M.A.C. Glitter and Ice Holiday Makeup Launch

Golly and I was invited to MAC Glitter and Ice product launch!
And I saw Mirai-chan there ( *^o^*)V

Picked up few tips from Beno Lim the Senior Artist of M.A.C.

Transfer mascara to a small tiny brush for easier application to lashes, both top or bottom. I would prefer using the length of the mascara brush to brush the top and tip of the mascara to apply the bottom, cautiously applying it from the roots brushing out to the ends of the lashes, as I feel it it coats the lash faster and more evenly. Then brush it out with a mascara brush to separate the lash and to remove the excess.

Adding lighter and shiny shadow in the middle of the lids to give some shine and gradation, then contour the eye socket.

The model's hair looks uncomfortable, but it looks super neat!

Glitter and Ice makeup collection....There's more!

Pigment and lipglass sets!

Yeap I am a total sucker for nude lip colour and I fell for it tsk tsk...

Ended up buying 2 sets, Dazzlesphere Smokeyblue pigment and Iced Delights Lip Bag which includes, a lip liner, a lip gloss and a lipstick. Thank God for Golly, she gave me her voucher. I feel so super broke, like broken. (=-= ||)

Photo with hot model...yea minus the makeup which make him look weird... Arghh!!! the frame chopped off his insane mohawk! Sadded.

Mi-chan where are you looking? Don't be shy  :P

Golly and me after the event having late dinner at Sakae sushi Bugis.

Lucky we had some muchies at the event or else our stomachs would have digested itself.

And yea I love the melon cocktail served there urgh I didn't get enough!!!

Comparing to Shu Uemura x Wong Kar Wai collection, it seem like this season's main colours are blues, reds, mahogany red, glitter gold,  glitter silver!  And yes for Shu Uemura's palette it cost $115 each, as for M.A.C.'s pigments it only cost $65. I'm sorry W.K.W. I betrayed you... OTL

Yeap, as you can see I am a sucker for interesting packaging...

 Dazzlesphere Smokeyblue ornament, comes with 4 pigments, stacked up 2 by 2.

You could rearrange it if you want to!

Shiny under flash, the blue looks rather purplish without flash, love the metal silver and white combo.

The shadows are easy to blend,  I also tried mixing it with lip gloss, the effect is rather interesting, I shall continue on another post :P

Let's try it on moi self!

Blue, with my usual makeup look, don't forget your usual gyaru highlight and shading! Eyes open.

Does not look overly dramatic if you keep it within your socket area, not too much as I am just going our for dinner and chill out session with my BFFs! Feel free to experiment with it!

With eye lids closed, the blue here seems slightly purplish, using the the black pigment I contoured the border of the shadow, at the socket area. 

Rock the Holiday look with the blues!

Happy Holidays Peeps!
