Using Photoshop to make Photo D.I for Pring Media

Recently besides doing video and film work for I Skin Solutions, I also experimented a new knowledge. Photo Retouching. After a run through on texturing and mapping in photoshop, I got an idea to create some thing out of the experiment I explore. After I did my first mapping and texturing, the photo itself gave me an inspiration about having dry and bad skin texture. Though it wont happen in real life. But we often hear people saying Dry skins, bad texture.
For land dryness, It cracks. For face, i will too but not as visible as earth. But when some thing unrealistic is applied to the real life thing, It sents out cool message too. Take a look at my Photo Retouching in associate with Visual communications technique

Below is the First Photo retouching image I made

Photoshop new discovery, the liquify tool

Its damm cool to know how and master the liquify tools in Photoshop. With liquify and clone stamp tools you can create some things which is totally out of reality. Below a video and a 10 minutes photoshop test done by me personally. I guess if I spent hours touching up this images.. It will look as if its the real her

The Breaking Through Journey

Sunday 7 Feb 2010, 2.53am...AC is still awake, visualizing the future. Decision shall be closed. As I will move on towards my goals as I projected in my mind no matter what temptation that holds me back from what I think I shall be doing for my future goals. I guess I will probably seriously take the action and a big leap in 1 month time in quick, or 2-3 months later if there is any consideration.

Below, a random image I captured today that relates to my mood at this moment
















Seeking, and Moving Forward Photographed By Andy F.K Chan

I'm passionate but undeciable

I'm kinda tired of working in the current organization. Probably I can't see any pregress. Or is it because pressure of further commitment has pushed me to seek for advancement in career life and sustainable reputation and recognition for a "good" income. Well when I say good, literally means at least I could afford a better car and home and free enough to not really look at the price to at lease buy what I need.

I always have the thoughts of getting out of the box and comfort zone to make a whole new start and make what ever my hard work put earns all into my pocket rather than hard work for peoples pocket. I met Joey Yap 2 days back. When I first saw him in person, I already admired his style. He arrived in the shooting studio with a BMW 7 series, registration number of JY 82. A young man can have such achievement in life, why can't other young man? More inspiring when he told me about his past and his stories. It makes my burning desire burnts even greater. I start think to my self, I must do some thing for my self to be what I want to be in 3-5 years time. I've spent almost 10 years visualizing about making big bucks with my own ability, gain the reputation to do and so on. I've tried several methods, involve in some partnership and achieve even more skills to the serve the service industry. Now the only thing I need is courage. Courage to get out and stand with my own feet. Many people say its dangerous to leave without a back up income in bank. But questions is, How the hell I'm going to have a sum of back up income in the bank when I earns peanuts now? Some say I'm still young to fall, don't be affraid of falling, You will regain very fast as you are still young. So I'm in delemma now. If only if some one reading this can comment about it... and my concious mind and analyze more of the situation and decide what to do next...

I feel very miserable when it comes to times like this. A 2 way out in front of you and you keep thinking about the circumstances. I just hope I can have the courage of Uncle Lim who build genting berhad at the age of 55 and people keep telling him "you are building resorts for mosquito to stay" But today he prove every one wrong. He build resorts and casino not only for people but to support one of Malaysian biggest income stream.

The thinking goes on............

At work with JY and Afdlin

This is the 3rd time shooting with Afdlin Shauki, and also got a snapshot with him. recently he wins quite a number of films award directing some stuff, if im not mistake its the film called papodom... wrong spelling i guess.

Been reading some of JY's book all these while didnt imagine to work with him. He's quite a cool guy and not as serious as seen on tv and heard on radio stations. Chat with him during off shoot and stuff. Can't belief that he has also work very hard to achieve what he has today. Inspired me very much on how important is don't give up what you think is going bring great success to you. Joey Yap started Mastery Academy back in 1997. I always thought he was popular since he started few years back. Didn't know he had done these stuff ages ago. And the earlier only 8 people attended his seminar.. what a sad number... today his courses is attended by 7000 people. 3500 people in a class. Work his way up...for at least 10 years to gain popularity... hmm...inspiring... I should take action to gain my success as soon as possible.... if not one year after another is wasted.
