Installing Magic Lantern Unified

A simple video showing how install Magic Lantern onto a Canon EOS 550D and using Trandscend 32gb Class 10 card, which is a pretty good combinations for this. Because first I did no know if they would work cause certain brand or SDHC card does not really work for the Magic Lantern, but however its perfectly fine with the Trandscend.

Just make sure before installing:

- Have a full battery.
- Lens on the camera.
- Camera set on M or AV

And it should all be fine and very simple to install onto your camera without too many hassle and too much steps.

New sdhc 32gb card

Got my new SDHC 32gb class 10 card from Trandscend , so now finally got a class 10 card and gotten directly magic lantern on it. And it works perfectly well with the firmware hack.

Actually gotten a major deal with buying this card, cause it normally cost about 600hkd but we bought it at the official Trandscend store in Sham Shui Po for just 371hkd which is a major deal. Now have a great 32gb card that can record plus minus about 96 minutes with my Canon EOS 550D. But with the magic lantern I can compress the video so it could film more than that.

Still christmas in November!

Not sure if this is from a Christmas movie or something cause I haven't seen tv commercials in a while. But have to say it is a weird movie with elves in army clothing and snowman robots.

Screening MMA promo video!

Screened at Prive on the biggest digital screen at Lan Kwai Fong. Video made by Robot Entourage and me doing special after effects work.

Awesome space flyover timelapse

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS from Michael König on Vimeo.

It must be so cool to work in space, wish one day we could just go there. It could happen soon or it be the next generation that would make it or just fucks it all up for the rest of the world.

Mc german chicken sausage burger

First I don't see why it's called a sausage burger second it's not that great nor special. Also mine was missing the cheese though and the burger does not have any sauce nor any veggies. Have to say it's the most boring burger ever and doesn't really taste much would rather go for the standard chicken burgers though than this new special burger.

Christmas feel in Diamond hill

Giant stages with tons of stuff to sit in for more of a holiday feel also special for couples get kinda romantic feel. But also the mall provided people to help taking pictures for people mostly group or couple or lonely people who don't know how to photograph themselves. But have to say it's funny to see people taking pictures of their kids and overly with Dslr as they would become future celebs or something like that...

Lambency flash diffuser

Bought this diffuser cup at Aplui in Sham Shui Po yesterday. Will do a more detailed review about it later but for now have to say being in Hong Kong it's is pretty cheap to buy one of these. This one cost 45hkd which is ruffly about 4 euro, plus I got an extra orange or tungsten diffuser with it which most do not have. And in Europe I would expect to be paying about 10 times more for it. Might want to setup something so people could get stuff like these cheaper in Europe cause there got to be a way. Have to say it fits perfectly on my sigma flash the 530 but I have not tested it yet but I am pretty sure it will provide a nice soft flash and also help me have better colors when shooting under tungsten lighted environments. Will start doing video review again soon and hope and try to setup a webshop where I could send product cheap around the world!

HD recorder

I didn't do the research but I am sure it is out there but the professional ones I know are so crazy expensive. But I think they can be much cheaper cause it is not a camera but is has allot of the same parts an circuits though. Mostly it is just missing a sensor to take photos but it need a hdmi in or av in and just mainly convert the video signal into a file that would be saved onto a cf or sd card. This would be cool to just able to record stuff from games or like other stuff or especially for the new hdslr filming.

Pepsi cans from hk

Actually have not saw these cans before cause they don't sell pepsi that much in Hong Kong, cause most people are more of a coca cola fan or most companies are signed with them.

Coca cola can turns white!

Actually o would like to get my hands on one of these cans cause it looks so cool and it's also donated one dollar to the wwf wild life funds. The design is awesome and it's from turner Ducksworth which is the main design company for Coca Cola I actually got another cool set of Coke bottles also by Turner Ducksworth which is super cool and got a good minimal design too. Hopefully they would release these all over the world and not just the US.

Cool stabilo packaging

This packaging is by burgopak if you don't know them as a packaging designer shame on you the designed an awesome packaging with a slide system called the burgopak . However this packaging is awesome but it is packing allot of air but what the heck the packaging looks cool and that for me more important than being cheap for the client otherwise they should just have a boring packaging if the wanted it cheap. This packaging is cool and catch my attention easily if I saw it in the shops. Also smart the set is left and right handed versions so both hands are shown. Thumbs up from me and find more burgopak designs at www.burgopak.com

I wish traveling was...

I wish that is was much easier to just travel anywhere I would wanted. Be in Hong Kong one moment and the next moment just be somewhere else, like any of the other countries on the board. Mostly money is the major factor here, as I don't have much of it it's kinda hard to travel allot. Hope this could be different soon any explore the world some more!

Cool solid gray backpack

Have to say haven't seen much cool Dutch designs lately but this one is pretty awesome. It is a plastic hardshell backpack folded from a sheet of plastic. Have to say I would want to make one of my own too now. Especially now I am in Hong Kong and know basically all the locations I could buy the materials to build my own. Ofcourse I would not do an identical replica and have atleast my own design and style to it.

Vegetarian food!

Yay but it's ok plus healthy as specially missing the meat hehe. I choose ofcourse the first disk I came across with bitter gourd so it is very healthy. Only thing is that I can't really stand their buddha music in the restaurant but they are the only restaurant in the neighborhood with free wifi though.

Today as an actor on a shoot!

Shooting a funny tvc but this time I am not the dp nor the director but one of the actors. As today playing a person waiting on the bus plus as an office worker. The shoot is with the Drummer from Hardpack also the same as LMF. A fun thing to do so probably see me soon in a vid!

Awesome iPhone case from Holga

An iPhone case with effects filters you can choose from , heart filter ,color filters to split view filters. Awesome gadget to have!

Christmas hits hk early!

Seriously thanksgiving Has not passed yet plus it's still November and everywhere is christmas already.

Sketching with iPad

Have to say still kinda hard to sketch even with the zoom in so I can go into the details better, but still feel unnatural but am improving and start getting the hand of it. Only too bad is I can't put two pictures into a layers but I can draw on several layers. Cause I would like to import my logo and put it as a watermark over some sketches or pictures which would be great!

Large McRib menu!

Fuck the diet for today, just finish one of the most stressful week ever and it's time for me to enjoy something. Choose the large mainly to get the free powder which gives extra taste to the fries. Have to say can't really pinpoint what the taste of the powder is like cause it's there but a bit faint to compare to something else but have to say it taste less boring than the normal fries, for the McRib is pretty much the same as the one in Europe and still too much sauce. But not sure why but the wrapping was missing on my burger normally it comes with an extra wrap cause of the sauce, so you don't dirty yourself and drip all over yourself while eating. Could be they are running out of stock cause the plain powder mixing bag was replaced by a standard takeaway bag though. Have to say the McRib is kinda boring and small I would not go for another one the next time.

Chris Polanco album release party!

Went an awesome album release after the trip back from Macau. Awesome performances by Chris Polanco and his crew plus also featuring Gretchell Yaneza and Terence Yin and more. Also starting to collects some autographs from artists so pictures taken with my iPad plus directly signing them.

Gone to Macau for a day!

Went to Macau last week and mainly went to try and visit as much places outside the casino which means allot of walking around. But have to say outside from all the casino is pretty boring however it is legal to take picture outside of casinos and not inside most of them. Also cool thing was they are setting up the track and fences for the Macau grand prix which I would like to film or take pictures for. However now explored how to walk Macau and mainly found a way not to take busses or cabs to walk to the ferry station.

IPad wallpaper

Here is a new wallpaper I did for my iPad plus also my laptop. Mostly wanted to get back into my flow with this cause I remember I always had my own wallpaper design of my logo but somehow had lost that in the recent years so now made a new one. Cause before I had the L logo designed by myself which stand for Lazy_Tjai which was my first nickname which I though of and worked on tons of gp500 and motogp game textures under that name.

But now new one reflect back to my real name which is Chung Dha and basically all that I do is for me and to improve myself even inside a team, I need to still think of the goal to achieve by myself and can not rely on others as others may not have the same knowledge or level. Just I have to do my part the best that I can , don't care about the rest cause they be just dragging me down unless they up the game each time I do.

At the moment working with certain people with a fucked up workflow cause literally am getting the stuff that should be done weeks ago handed to me at the last moment and also don't have a real overview of the project and can not take over the control which I normally would do. Mainly the whole project is missing a giant important briefing with all the dates and deadlines and more, so everybody working on it know what needs to be done. At the moment only one person knows it and it taking the toll of me these last few weeks cause they finally start moving their butts and I have to do design literally 24/7 each day and everyday the same thing the deadline is the next day. Not that I can't do it but mainly fucking up the design process less time to brainstorm about special ideas, it's just doing it and getting it done on time and use standard simple ideas so it still look ok.

People need to up their game, cause this is a total shit of a workflow, even the workflow at my shit school was better and projects that need to be done in 7 weeks I always finish them in the first but atlases know be done way ahead of the deadline but can't have deadline is the next day or deadline is in 2weeks but I have a and a second project next to it each day that need to be done the next day so basically the days I can work on the bigger one is always zero cause need to finish these small shit every day. Damn it working with these guys and the pay is like shit but work pressure is high fucking welcome to hk.

Tried some hk style egg waffle

Actually not sure if they are called that but its is mostly like a waffle and kinda made the same way. Have to say is much more crunchy than I had expected than being nice and soft. Mainly is a crunchy outer and a soft inner it is not that bad but actually does not have much flavor to it I though it be much sweeter too. But have to say would really go for one again even though they show allot of celebs visited their shop but really care more if it taste good or not.

My silhouette

Today shot a dance performance rehearsal, with animations and graphics projected onto the dancers. So had a chance to take a picture of my own silhouette. Be converting them to pre render files for Sony Vegas tonight and edit the vid once I got the song from the client but already got a good intro sequence from how the vid should start in my head. Just need the music so it would follow the beat.

Have to say taking a picture of my own silhoutte is not that pretty cause if you hold your arms up it looks like you are missing them, but mostly 2nd picture is better just not showing my arms at all did the trick, but would had like to take a full body one though. But then had to try jumping in the light and try to take a pic with my iPad.
