Department Of Performance & Media (DPM) Video Shoot

    This weekend was the most busiest weekend for me and my fellow classmates in the DPM. We had a corporate video shoot for our department, and the purpose of this shoot is to promote the department to the public, and hopefully to attract people to join this course. The shoot was directed by Imri, one of our lecturers and he brought along his crew and equipments. The 'Host' for the video is Shah & Liyana, they of all people had pages of lines, so they are probably the most tiring person right now.    

    The first day was on the 24th (saturday) and the shoot started as early as 8 am, and they had a green screen set up outside the Roof Top Theatre (RTT) which was for a montage or something. It was really cool to see all the equipments live. The set up took quite sometime because they had to position the screen and the camera and microphone. Later during the day, we had some shots in the computer room, and the office. I had a small role with lines, and this shot took quite sometime because of the lighting adjustments. Then i was just an ensemble cast for the rest of the scene. The shoot didn't turn out like what i expected,  it was really smooth with little mistakes. I thought temperatures was gonna boil.  

    The 2nd was on the 25th (sunday) and as usual we got up as early as 8 a.m to get ready in our costumes and make ups, while the crew were setting up the set. We were lucky today because we are ahead of schedule, a scene that was suppose to be shot today was already shot the day before, but nonetheless time is gold, none of us wasted anytime to shoot, we were all on standby for our respective scenes one hour before.    

    The 2nd day of shoot was more cheerful because we had a dancing scene, which is the first and last scene in the video. This shoot, took up more than an hour not just to shoot but to coordinate the moves to fit in front of the camera. Dalili the dance coordinator had a tough time sorting it out but in the end the scene went well and everyone was happy.

    We also had a scene inside the RTT where we are showing how a play is done and how the actors prepare for a play i.e warm ups and rehearsals. This shoot didn't take long, and i think its the easiest shot of all. After all this is done, hopefully the video will turn out great and more people would be interested in joining this course. Ill post the video as soon as its ready.

Perbezaan DVD Original & Cetak Rompak

Baru-baru ini Les' Copaque Production telahpun mengadakan sidang media tergempar berkaitan dengan DVD Cetak Rompak filem Geng :Pengembaraan Bermula yang telah berleluasa dijual. DVD yang mula dipasarkan sebelum curi Aidilfitri itu, telah mendapat sambutan yang sangat memberansangkan pada minggu-minggu awal sehingga telah membuat cetakan kedua untuk memenuhi permintaan pasaran. Namun begitu, setelah beberapa hari saja DVD tersebut berada dipasaran lintah darat cetak rompak ini telah mengambil peluang mengaut keuntungan jalan mudah dengan memasarkan DVD cetak rompak ini.

Ianya dijual dipasar malam termasuklah di kaki-kaki lima dengan kualiti gambar serta imej yang amat menyedihkan. Tidak cukup di situ, nampaknya filem ini juga tersebar secara haram melalui format digital di dalam internet yang menawarkan download secara percuma. Perkhidmatan download secara haram di laman web seperti torrent.jiwang.cc dan beberapa laman web lain telahpun dilaporkan kepada Cyber Security Malaysia untuk diambil tindakan.

Kemuncak permasalahn cetak rompak filem ini ialah setelah mendapat beberapa aduan mengenai cetak rompak yang seakan-akan cetakan asli. Cetak rompak yang mengamai cetakan asli yang juga dikenali sebagai counterfiet rupanya telah dijualan secara berleluasa termasuklah secara sah oleh pengedar dvd tempatan. DVD ini secara kasar sememangnya amat sukar dikenal pasti kerana kualiti cetak cover yang 80% seakan-akan yang asli. Ianya juga dijual dengan harga yang mahal yang bukan sahaja bertujuan mengaburi pembeli, malahan untuk mengaut untuk atas angin yang lebih besar. Harganya diturunkan sedikit iaitu di dalam lingkungan RM29.90 dan memberi alasan kehabisan poster. Les' Copaque Production mengambil langkah tegas dalam menangani isu cetak rompak ini kerana ianya akan mematikan industri perfileman negara.


Di bawah merupakan cara untuk mengenalpasti DVD cetak rompak dan asli:

1. Pelekat No Siri (Silver) KPDNKKWalaupun DVD Cetak Rompak counterfeit ini masih mempunyai pelekat no siri yang dikeluarkan oleh KPNDKK, tetapi sebenarnya pelekat yang digunakan sebenarnya tidak sah. Filem Geng menggunakan no siri yang bermula dengan huruf K, manakala counterfeit ini menggunakan no siri bermula dengan huruf H. Mengikut kajian, no siri ini sebenarnya merupakan pendaftaran untuk filem Hindi yang sepatutnya digunakan pada tahun 2005 dulu.


2. Sijil B (Cert B)

Pastikan pada DVD belakang ini mempunyai Cert B yang dikeluarkan oleh Finas. Sijil ini penting kerana pada sijil tersebut ada menulis tajuk filem dan butir-butir yang lain. Cetak rompak setakat ini tidak mampu menghasilkan sijil ini secara haram.

3. Perbezaan lain

Sebenarnya masih terdapat perbezaan lain yang boleh diambil kira. Perbezaan dari segi kualiti cetak pada cover yang agak kabur serta jenis disk yang berlainan juga dapat membezakan kedua-dua jenis cetakan ini. Namun oleh kerana agak sukar pembeli untuk membezakan dengan mata kasar, jadi cukuplah sekadar mengenalpasti dengan 2 perbezaan yang telah dinyatakan di atas.

Terima kasih kepada peminat yang telah mendapatkan cetakan asli DVD Geng Pengembaraan Bermula kerana tanpa sokongan anda pasti sambutan terhadap filem ini tidak seperti sekarang. Kami juga menyarankan kepada semua peminat agar lebih berhati-hati ketika cuba mendapatkan barangan asli keluaran kami.

    Susan Van Wilder just had a rough day at the office and she feels that she needs to loosen up and have fun. So she decides to go to this new club called 4 seasons and it was free flow for ladies. She invited her friend Megan. When Susan arrived at the club, she got a text from Megan; saying that she couldn’t make it, but that didn’t stop her from entering the club. Then Susan hooks up with a guy name Peter Atkinson in the club. After a glass of vodka, both of them go to the dance floor and started to do the ‘monkey dance’. Everyone was staring at them but they didn’t care. Then Susan started to seduce Peter by doing the robot dance. He wasn’t turned on at first but after she did the ‘robot twirl’ he was drooling. Then Peter took off his shirt because he was feeling ‘hot’. Then both of them took a break from dancing, Susan goes back to the bar while Peter goes to the toilet, shirtless. In the toilet, Peter takes out a bottle of his ‘magic’ oil and rubs the oil on to his ‘deadly weapon’. After that that he exits the toilet only to see Susan leaving. He took a big sip of his vodka and tries to catch Susan. Suddenly it was all blacked out. The next thing he knew was that his hands were handcuffed and sees everyone leaving the club.

To All Drivers, BEWARE!!!

  Today was the most tiring and weirdest day of my life. Firstly, i had class as usual from 11-1 and 2-5. After that, i went straight to the football field and kicked some balls. Then tonight is Luciano's 2nd party. He is my aerobics' instructor fyi and i was suppose to go with 2 of my friends, but it turns out that one of them told the other that i wasn't going, and so none of us went.

   So i callled my college friend Shasha and asked her if she wanted to hang out, and she said yes, along with my classmate Ernest. So i met them at the Rock Cafe CC (Nearby sunway college) and surprisingly my other seniors were also there. So played Left 4 dead for a while. Then Ernest and Shasha went back to their condo to freshen up so i stayed at the CC for a while.

    After i finished the game, i waited for them outside the condo, for around 30 minutes or so. I took of my seat belt and turned of my light for a while. Then they came down and we decided to go Canai @ 15. So i started to drive and not even half way there, a police car stopped me and told me to pull out by the side. Then one of the cops ordered me to come out of the car.

The Conversations were all translated:

Cop 1: Do you know what you've done wrong?

Me: Uuh, No sir i dont.

Cop 1: Well its not only 1 but 2 offences. Firstly u did not wear ur seat belt, and secondly u didnt turn on ur lights.

Me: Oh yeah, sorry i tottally forgot about it, im sorry sir.

Cop 2: Let me see ur license and registrations please.

Then i took out my licenses, i was quite shaky and nervous.

Cop2: see, you are still on a P license, didnt u learn anything in the academy?

Me: Yes sir i did, and this was a carless mistake sir, im sorry.

Cop 1: If i give u a summon ticket, your license will be stripped.

Me: oh no, im sorry, i didnt mean to do it, please i promise i wont do ot again.

Then there was a long pause, the second cop was writing down my details on a sheet of paper.

Cop 2: Where are you going?

Me: Oh im just going to ss15 for a dinner.

Cop 2: Are sure? Your not going to get drunk later?

Then i just shook my head and kept quiet.

Cop 1: Your P License is expiring in 2 years time, do you want me to give you a summon??

And then i thought to myself, was this a trick question??

Me: Ummm, i would prefer not. ( Then i started to bullshit him) Cause just now i had some problems with my friends in class, i quarreled with them and now im not really in a good mood, so everything is kinda affected. ( its was all bullshit)

Cop 1: Go ask that man ( he reffers to the 2nd cop)

Me: So sir, whats gonna happen now??

Cop 2: Well im gonna charge u with those 2 offenses.

Me: Oh please sir, give me a chance, i promise i wont do it again.

Then there was another long silent. He stared at me for a while, then he gave me back my license, and both of them drove off without giving any ticket or warning.

   I was relieved  when they let me go cause my heart was pumping as though i was running 100 meter. This is i life lesson to all u drivers out there, no matter who you are, what car your driving, what license are you holding, please obey the rules and regulations, cause the authorities are there for a reason.

Arsenal beat Blackburn 6-2 at the emirates while Chelsea beat a top 4 rival Liverpool 2-0 at stamford bridge. Manchester United drew 2-2 against Sunderland, in a hard pumping match where they almost beat the champions after taking the lead twice.    

    

A late own goal from Anton Ferdinand ( younger brother of Rio Ferdinand) rescued a draw for the champions. He had the final touch after United defender Patrice Evra  struck a left foot shot 2 minutes into added time. Sunderland forward Darren Bent had given the visitors a 7th minute lead with  a crisp turn a low right foot shot past goalkeeper Ben Foster. Dimitar Berbatov then pulled an equalizer in the 51st minute with a bicycle kick before Kenwyne Jones headed sunderland back in front again.

The New Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera (Type number 970) is a four-door, four-seat luxury sedan, which was launched in 2009.^[1] It is front-engined with rear wheel drive, with a four-wheel drive version also available.

The Porsche Panamera production model was unveiled at the 13th Auto Shanghai International Automobile Show in Shanghai, China on April 2009.^[2The V8 normal-aspiration versions of the Panamera have rear-wheel drive as standard, while the Turbo version includes standard all-wheel drive with PTM (Porsche Traction Management). Currently, the engine choices include the base model S, 4S, and Turbo.^[3] US models include an engine start/stop system, and the Turbo version uses active aerodynamics with a multi-stage, adjustable rear spoiler.^[4]]

The Panamera comes with the Porsche Traction Management, a fully-controlled, all-wheel drive system. PTM is standard on both the Panamera 4S and the Panamera Turbo. Optional Sports Chrono Packages include a Sport Plus button, which has tighter damping and air springs and drops the car body by 25 mm (0.98 in).

The final assembly of the vehicle takes place in Leipzig, Germany alongside the Cayenne.^[8]Stuttgart, and the car's painted body is built at the Volkswagen facility in Hannover. Engines are assembled in

The Panamera is generally considered to be the long-awaited fruit of Porsche's 989 concept from the late 1980s; some argue that it also presents itself as a successor to the 2-door 928, but there may be plans to develop a new 928 as well.^[9]

The Porsche Panamera is marketed as a direct competitor to automobiles such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte and Lamborghini Estoque. The Panamera may also be considered as a less expensive alternative to vehicles such as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG.

Production began in April 2009, one month after its debut in the Shanghai Motor Show in China. Porsche will keep production rate at around 20,000 cars per year
