By admin | Published July 18, 2012

老友小堅又有新戲出，PASM Workshop 一定全力支持，在此同大家分享，重有條BTS (Behind-the-scene) clip係尾。

《蘋行世界》感想之扮大製作篇: 其實拍攝<蘋行世界>最難的地方就是沒有人投資卻要扮到像大製作及電影感的確很難！最慘仲要講到好高科技~大家有冇留意過一套講高科技既片，卻沒有高科技的畫面! 但我要做到這種感覺比人的確不易! 希望大家繼續支持小弟的作品 ~ 小堅

Want Tickets to Sundance Screenings in London? – Enter the Langham Place Short Film Competition

By admin | Published March 22, 2012

Was at the Langham Place Short Films Screenings last night and they showcased three feature shorts, namely, the Club, the Spa and the Room and the most interesting part of it is that all three short films were shot with the iPhone. Check out the making of videos here and have a taste of what’s it all about.

The other highlight of the evening was when Sean Seah, Vice President – E-Business, Loyalty and Partner Marketing of Langham, announced the Langham Short Film Competition where the winner of the competition will be flown to London, stay at the awesome Langham London, be able to attend an exclusive networking breakfast with the heavy weights of Sundance Institute and other filmmakers, attend Sundance screenings and if lucky, have access to other Sundance panel events as well. So all budding filmmakers and videographers, this is definitely a competition that you want to look into.

#JOHNADOBE from Rob Ashe on Vimeo.

The production crew of Conan O’Brien made this awesome sneak peak (not much of a sneak peak) video on the upcoming Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  I myself hated Final Cut Pro and made the switch, anxiously waiting to see what Adobe has under their sleeves for this release.

To see more, check out what the crew think of Final Cut Pro eight months back below.

Photoshop CS6 – You Don’t Just Edit Videos, You Photoshop Them As Well

By admin | Published March 14, 2012

Adobe released this video with touch-up all done in the upcoming Photoshop CS6.  According to Bryan O’Neil Hughes, senior product manager for Photoshop, “just about anything you can do to a still, you can do to video – in the same way that you use Photoshop today.  The video in this example is a great example of just some of what can be done: transitions, filters, tonal adjustments, type, fades, animating stills – you name it.”
