I think editing a video is more enjoyable to going through hundreds of photos.

But yeah this is Day 3. We did White Water Rafting, Elephant rides and ATV. Sadly it's rather impossible to shoot those videos with my kind of camera. Still, the rest of the events are pretty funny and we had an explosive ending.

I should probably get back to editing the pictures and typing out the events. Man, this is more work than I expected. Day 4 is really long so I'll leave it for another day.

Phuket Trip; Day 1 and 2 Video

Thursday, May 09, 2013

I have to say that I am rather proud of this video! It turned out way better than I thought it would be. Though my expectations did drop a little when I could get some of the shorts I wanted.

I haven't edit any video since I graduated from High School and I have to say that I have done some rather shitty videos in the past. So the point is that I have to learn from the scratch again, though I have a slightly better idea of what to do now.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

First time I'm using this software and this is definitely an overkill for what I am doing, wasted so much time finding out how to do all the simple things. Total time taken: 4hours+. It's times like these that make me fully appreciate having a fast computer. I cannot imagine editing on anything slower, it would be the death of me.

I wanted to try color correction and some other stuffs, but then got too lazy to learn it. Thankfully my camera, Sony HX9V takes awesome video so I didn't have to do much to them.

Well hope you liked the video! There's still 3 days left. Time to find another song that fits the occasion.

Phuket Trip: Day 1

Thursday, May 02, 2013

The 5 of us arrived at Changi Airport at 6 in the morning, had breakfast and hung around until it was about time for boarding.

Here's a tip

Always go early and wait inside the waiting area if you're on a budget airline. We were the last 5. The last bus going to the plane was about the leave, the pilot was on the verge of leaving us behind. (Even though we were technically on time)

So yeah, we entered the transport bus sheepishly under the glares of 40 over passengers. As for the flight, we went with Tiger Airways, and as you expect from a budget airline, the interior of the plane feels like a bus, only with less space; it's almost like The Magic School Bus.

After 1.5 hours of restricted leg movements coupled with intense drowsiness, we finally landed in Thailand, Phuket.
