I happened to find a video clip featuring some special effect done on the screen of a laptop. It looks cool and I was wondering how the creator of the video clip had made it.

After searching the web for information, I came to know that this kind of cool stuff is called green screen effect.  It is a type of chroma key which is a technique used in video, film and still photography. The purpose is to replace a portion of an image with a new image such as a coloured background with a different setting.

I think the creator of the video clip has brilliantly utilised the green screen effect to bring out the attention-grabbing and cool laptop effect to his/her audiences. I’m sure you will be amazed by this person’s creativity.

Susan Boyle has disappeared for quite some time since the May finale of Britain’s Got Talent this year. I’m glad to see that she is back on stage again to perform on the season finale of America’s Got Talent 2009.

Susan Boyle is the greatest YouTube sensation and her angelic voice has stunned the world within a short period of time. I know that many people were touched by her performance when she sang “I Dreamed A Dream” and can’t help but to watch her video clip over and over again.

I often feel that Susan Boyle deserve success and she should make a comeback despite losing the first prize to Diversity during the season finale of Britain’s Got Talent in May. Her clean voice is much more powerful and pleasant to the ears than many professional singers.

The song that Susan Boyle sang at the finale of America’s Got Talent was “Wild Horses“. Again, she proves to the world that she has a terribly good voice. I believe she will soon become one of the greatest and most well-respected singers of our time.

I didn’t know that there were so much that we could do on a bicycle until I watched a video clip featuring an amazing and breath-taking bicycle stunt.

A 23 year-old young man named Danny MacAskill has produced a set of stunts on his bicycle. Most of the moves are very breath-taking and they include riding across spiked railings, leaping across three-storey buildings, backflipping off a tree and so on.

Danny MacAskill is a street trial biker who rides for fun hoping that other riders would like his video filmed by his flatmate called Dave Sowerby. The filming was taken place in Edinburgh over a few months to capture every tricks done by Danny MacAskill.

Apparently, he has mastered an incredibly dangerous form of Bike Parkour (the art of movement) that people use every available urban or rural platform to choreograph a set of stunts.

The bicycle that Danny MacAskill uses to do his biking stunts is specially designed for street trial riding. I wonder how many bikes he has had replaced so far whenever a mistake is made 🙂

Enjoy the amazing video clip entitled “Inspired Bicycles” :

Here is an enlightening video clip on the progression of information technology being researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod and Jeff Brenman. It tells us about what is happening right now.

I believe this is revolving the economies around the world right now as we are experiencing a major shift into technology-driven economies. Information technology has changed our everyday lives tremendously. Computers and internet have made our lives easier and better. They have given us access to the world.

From this, you can see that the internet has a very huge potential if you wanted to do business online or make more friends through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Friendster, etc.

In my opinion, the younger generations and those who keep up to the latest technologies will be much more internet-proficient than those who are PC-illiterate. Perhaps it is time to start picking up internet skills so as not to lag too far behind.

There are many reasons to always be learning new skills as the web is the fastest changing environment that we have. We must keep on learning new things whenever there is an opportunity. So, pick up a skill and start learning…….Right HERE…..Right NOW!

Artists often give me the impression is that they are cool and calm people who paint their portrait patiently and quietly.

However, it has changed my view on artists lately after watching the process of a few talented artists did their paintings on video. It seems to me is that these artists were either dancing their way or carrying out some martial arts while painting their portraits 😛

Here is a good example to prove what I have just said is true. A very talented artist called David Garibaldi does his painting with his hands while dancing to an inspiring song entitled “The Glory Of It All” by The David Crowder Band.

Watch the video clip below to the very end and see what David Garibaldi’s creation will look like. I find it amazing and I believe it will amaze you too.

My Favourites :

Church wedding ceremony is usually solemn and serious. The bride and groom walk stiffly down the church aisle before reaching the altar.

Perhaps this traditional way of having a church wedding ceremony is too rigid for some people. That is why a group of young people has had decided to do something different and against the norm.

There was a wedding took place at a church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The best man, best women and even the wedding couple were dancing their way down the church aisle.  This JK Wedding Entrance Dance is very entertaining and against the norm.

I find that the video clip is very special and amusing. It’s full of fun and happiness. The song entitled “Forever” by Chris Brown is also very lively and entertaining.

This is possibly one of the most infectious and uplifting wedding video clip that you will see this year. Enjoy!

A former colleague of mine sent me a very touching and inspiring email entitled “What is That?” Inside the email, there is a link for accessing to the YouTube video clip.

“What is That?” is a Greek short film made in 2007 featuring a father and his grown-up son sitting on a bench. Suddenly a sparrow lands across them.

The father asks the son a very simple question……”What is That?” repeatedly. Guess what? His son becomes impatient and gets mad with his father. Apparently, the father is disappointed with his son’s reaction and he just walks away to his house…………….

Like what my friend has mentioned in his email :

This is a very short but powerful video.
For those who are “growing old”, pass it on to your children to view.
It will make this world a better place for both young and old.
Cherish all that you love, especially those who love you.

I find this “What is That?” short film very touching and inspiring. I feel guilty after watching it. The film says it all about the relationship of aging parents and grown-up children in today’s society.

So, please take a few minutes of your time to watch this short but powerful video clip. Although the film is in Greek, it has subtitles in English. By the way, this is a film directed by Constantin Pilavios.

Babies are lovely and their cute smiles make people happy. To me, little babies are living dolls for the adult to take care and adore.

Ever wonder how would it be like if babies can do stunts or somersault? I know it will be unbelievable or something impossible to happen.

Evian, the mineral water company, has created an advertisement featuring a bunch of cute babies jumping around on rollers. Obviously, this is only made possible with the help of computerised special effects. Although the action-packed ads looks artificial, the idea of using babies to sell mineral water is refreshing and creative.

The jumping-around stunts make the advertisement very entertaining and amusing. All the babies look cute and lovely but somehow look funny though.

I would also like to dedicate this babies-on-rollers video clip to my Seremban friend (DK) who has just given birth to her baby girl as on 23 Jun. I wish both mommy and baby happy and healthy 🙂

I have had written a Blog post about the Wonder Girls‘ hit song entitled “I Want Nobody But You” on 23 Sep 2008. The embedded video clip is sung in Korean with a few lines in English.

I want nobody nobody but you

I don’t like anybody else

If it’s not you, I don’t want it

I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody body

Now, you don’t have to guess what the Wonder Girls are singing if you don’t understand Korean. Here comes an English version of the “I Want Nobody But You” song. Thanks to my friend, the GFF, for informing me about this new release of the English version.

Enjoy watching the video :

Happened to watch the first episode of the America’s Got Talent 2009 show on YouTube recently. Obviously, this is the American version of the popular Britain’s Got Talent.

A trio singing group called The Voices Of Glory was interviewed by the judges on the stage before they started their performance on that night. The trio consists of 2 brothers (aged 13 & 16) and a sister (aged 9) from a black family.

One of the America’s Got Talent 2009 judges, Pierce Morgan, asked who their inspiration was. The eldest brother, Michael, replied saying that their mother had got a head-on collision with a drunk driver and stayed in a coma for 8 months about 3 years ago.

They sang by their mom’s bedside to comfort her. Besides singing to their mom, these 3 brothers and sister, also went round to sing to all the people in the hospital. I think that was very touching.

The Voices Of Glory sang the song entitled “God Bless America” and they proved to people that their performanc was one of the best in the America’s Got Talent show.
