Room Panorama

5 years ago I took lots of pics of my room in the middle of the night. It wasn’t supposed to be a panoramic picture, ah, but I found those photos today, and that’s the only reasonable thing I use them for.

It’s so weird, the room looks almost exactly the same as now…

LeBron James - Google Images Animation

The King, LeBron James, probably will win the MVP award in the next few days… I guess I can even bare the thought of the Cavs as the NBA champions. Especially if they face the Lakers in the finals.

Watch him in action in this highlight mix… it’s amazing

Gidi Vigo by google earth

It’s Allways (?) fun to look yourself in Google and stuff. I’ve looked up the terms “Gidi” and “Vigo” on Google Earth, and guess what, there’s a place called Gidi in Nigeria…  well, I guess the result of combining both satellite shots to one image doesn’t mean a thing. Well, it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t post it, and even make two more images for Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic and LA Lakers’ Kobe Bryant – The 2009 NBA finals gonna  start in 14 hours. The blog is rooting for the Magic!

Dwight, New England, USA / Howard ,New England, USA


Kobe, Japan / Bryant, Oklahoma, USA

This video is a small experiment: all the images were taken from google images results for the word “moon”.

It was probably very stupid of me to do, but I was curious to know how would it look on video if I attach a camera to the bumper of my car. And that’s exactly what I did. Lucky me the camera didn’t fall during the drive. Lucky me there weren’t any speed bumps on the way.
And about the soundtrack… well, I had no idea what will I do with the footage when I shot it, so I didn’t plan anything for the sound. But as I was driving, I hummed myself this musical piece by Bach, called Air. I heard it two days ago in the movie “Collateral” (fun movie, despite lacking in credibility). Anyway, I love this music. You can listen to the full piece here.

Have you ever noticed all the small lights in your room when it’s dark? The red one from your TV, the Num Lock from your keyboard, etc.. This “underwater” world is made out of these small lights of my room.

Shot with my still camera on video mode,from a distance of five or ten centimeters.
I might use this raw footage in the future. It has a nice look.

Update: It took me two day to try this technique, a music video for Hilit Rozental’s song. click here to watch it.
