Multi Media is the Art to SHOW it; sharp to the point...
Monday, February 14, 2011, 01:03 AM - PUBLICATIONS
Actually my proper field of activities contains Multi-Media. Touched all kind of senses. To view, to hear, to experience...., to decide, to go, to wear, to eat, to create, to buy..
What happen if someone you know say's: "Multi-Media" ? Oh i know, thats a CD Rom i've got as an give away from whoever. Or is it kankan xunlei? - the online movie site with embedded ad's. Or maybe that's the website in front of me on my screen.
In my opinion, "Multi Media" help/block or even force the complete way to make an psychological status of a thinking process named as "the decision".
For example, Advertising as we recognize as an AD, works well; but it does it just on half flame. Because "We know WHY things happen". We learned to predict: "What Happen". As so, we already EXPECT that we are able to predict all that virtual stories which we experience OUTSIDE of OUR SELF's mind.
I think, and that's my truly position: "Multi Media" will be "pure INFORMATION with easy NAVIGATION combined with joyful ENTERTAINMENT leading all of us to an easy to reach top level of KNOWLEDGE!
And thats the reason for me to work as "The Multi Media Guy"

5 Years SHANGHAI Timelapse
Sunday, November 28, 2010, 02:52 AM - 2010
Please have a look at my Shanghai Timelapse ShowReel, produced & collected within the last 5 years.
Technical Info:
Timelapse Photography is a technique to cover a huge amount of time with high resolution DSLR cameras; shooting every 5 or 10 or 20 seconds ONE picture who will be combined to an movie playing 24 or 25 fps (frames per second). The TLP Cam Operator need to control the changing light situations manually....over hours or even days of "capturing time".
Personal note:
Advanced professional TLP photography is hard to realize if you need good looking 4k footage. What matters is the changing amount of light over the hours of shooting. changing the f stops manually over the time is just the half wisdom. Changing the iris of a lens means adjusting the focus again. That's impossible in sequence shooting less then 8 seconds per interval, because changing the diameter of the IRIS needs an new FOCUS. automatically the camera will move the direction as well (1mm tripod move means 10 hours wasted time...hehe).
I am adjusting REMOTE the exposure time.... making sure the lens is stopped down BEFORE... to the "HotSpot of best Optical Performance".
Here are just a few TLP's combined, If you are interested in professional TLP production
or if you want to use some specific parts seen in the reel in your TVC or Movie, just drop me a message for price.
Some of the TLP are still available in cinematic 4k size, but never less than HD formats.
Perfect fit for events and super-show's, cinema film intro's and advertising (when time play's a role)...
We Do It All, and we do it well :)

Nothing Real (Apple) Shake - Keyboard Shortcuts
Tuesday, August 17, 2010, 12:10 PM - WORKSHOPS
Beside other HighEnd Systems, I do still use the node based Image Manipulation System "Nothing Real (Apple) SHAKE" for :
1. most easy tasks; like timelapse creating, cropping & adjusting with move2d - node.
2. most difficult tasks in big picture compositing with multiple render-passes and even more layers as well time corrections in 4k.
3. Multimedia Engineering for split-screen setups beyond 10k resolution (... yeeah... try this with After Effects or another system !!!!)
4. Network rendering of multiple supersize picture slices with qmaster network render system

Equipment
Thursday, January 28, 2010, 06:35 PM - GEAR & CREW
Cameras:
Sony CINEALTA PMW-EX1, XDCAM XD HD, for EFP/ENG with shoulder support
The EX1 gives you pictures who are recommended by Television Channels & Cinema Production:
"silver status" for DISCOVERY CHANNEL broadcast program and BBC, the EX1 was also used in lots of feature films like "Public Enemies", "District 9"...
Designed from the ground up to exploit the ultimate high performance of SxS PRO memory cards, the PMW-EX1 combines a state-of-the-art, non-linear XDCAM workflow with simply the best HD quality yet seen in a compact camcorder.
It is also the first handheld camcorder to carry the legendary CineAlta 24P brand with multiple frame rate recording capability such as 59.94i, 50i, and native 23.98P, as well as being 1080i/720P switchable.
UHF Wireless Lavalier Microphone System for ENG / (german: Funkstrecke)
I added an reliable wireless microphone system to my camera setup. Small & easy to use, with an crystal clear sound; It is my first choice for shooting interviews. Drops and background noise become history!!!
As perfect Tripod Support we use DV6 (Sachtler DV6 Head & Legs)
With an 3x Fluorescent softbox light kit (daylight) we create perfect shape & ambience for Interview shots.

Tablesoccer / Foosball - in Shanghai
Friday, January 1, 2010, 02:25 PM -
In Shanghai, tablesoccer / foosball is an upcoming "free-time-sport". Its really called SPORT since some "pro's" and lots of "amateur" players have their residence in Shanghai and play turnaments here. I already got hands on the tables in BigBamboo (NanYang Lu / HongMei Lu) , The Beaver, The Spot, Logo Bar, and a few other locations who provide foosball tables (even if some of the tables not even reach turnament standards).
The best foosball locations in Shanghai you can find at www.Shanghaifoosball.com
Personally I prefer the Fireball Table in combination with Tornado Players. (photo)

Japanese Martial Arts
Friday, November 27, 2009, 02:50 PM -
Since I was a young teenager I've got addicted to asian martial arts. Always after school, I went into the
柔道 JUDO dojo to improve my skills for upcoming tournaments. My first sensei was Mr. KOLAT / 1.Dan.
After a couple of years, grade of 2th kyu, and participation in regional and nationwide tournaments, I studied even more deeply 松濤館 shotokan karate beside my JUDO classes. Furthermore Sensei Mr. Jan Sauermann 3.Dan introduced me the principles of 合氣道 AIKIDO (Bokken, Bo) & Kendo.
All these martial arts have their roots in CHINA and JAPAN. As I can say now, the initially decision to go to asia I made around 15 years ago.

Audio Engineers knowledge for recording & studiowork
Friday, November 13, 2009, 11:08 AM - PUBLICATIONS
Some "General" EQ rules. Pretty usefull stuff!
Kick Drum
Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. Try a small boost around 5-7kHz to add some high end.
50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom to the sound
100-250Hz ~ Adds roundness
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness Area
5-8kHz ~ Adds high end prescence
8-12kHz ~ Adds Hiss
Snare
Try a small boost around 60-120Hz if the sound is a little too wimpy. Try boosting around 6kHz for that 'snappy' sound.
100-250Hz ~ Fills out the sound
6-8kHz ~ Adds prescence
Hi hats or cymbals
Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. To add some brightness try a small boost around 3kHz.
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area
1-6kHz ~ Adds presence
6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity
8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness
Bass
Try boosting around 60Hz to add more body. Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz.If more presence is needed, boost around 6kHz.
50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom end
100-250Hz ~ Adds roundness
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness Area
800-1kHz ~ Adds beef to small speakers
1-6kHz ~ Adds presence
6-8kHz ~ Adds high-end presence
8-12kHz ~ Adds hiss
Vocals
This is a difficult one, as it depends on the mic used to record the vocal. However...Apply either cut or boost around 300hz, depending on the mic and song.Apply a very small boost around 6kHz to add some clarity.
100-250Hz ~ Adds 'up-frontness'
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area
1-6kHz ~ Adds presence
6-8kHz ~ Adds sibilance and clarity
8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness
Piano
Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. Apply a very small boost around 6kHz to add some clarity.
50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom
100-250Hz ~ Adds roundness
250-1kHz ~ Muddiness area
1-6kHz ~ Adds presence
6-8Khz ~ Adds clarity
8-12kHz ~ Adds hiss
Electric guitars
Again this depends on the mix and the recording. Apply either cut or boost around 300hz, depending on the song and sound. Try boosting around 3kHz to add some edge to the sound, or cut to add some transparency. Try boosting around 6kHz to add presence. Try boosting around 10kHz to add brightness.
100-250Hz ~ Adds body
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area
1-6Khz ~ Cuts through the mix
6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity
8=12kHz ~ Adds hiss
Acoustic guitar
Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off between 100-300Hz. Apply small amounts of cut around 1-3kHz to push the image higher. Apply small amounts of boost around 5kHz to add some presence.
100-250Hz ~ Adds body
6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity
8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness
Strings
These depend entirely on the mix and the sound used.
50-100Hz ~ Adds bottom end
100-250Hz ~ Adds body
250-800Hz ~ Muddiness area
1-6hHz ~ Sounds crunchy
6-8kHz ~ Adds clarity
8-12kHz ~ Adds brightness
NOW IN GENERAL!!!!
50Hz
1. Increase to add more fullness to lowest frequency instruments like foot, toms, and the bass.
2. Reduce to decrease the "boom" of the bass and will increase overtones and the recognition of bass line in the mix. This is most often used on bass lines in Rap and R&B.
__________
100Hz
Increase to add a harder bass sound to lowest frequency instruments.
Increase to add fullness to guitars, snare.
Increase to add warmth to piano and horns.
Reduce to remove boom on guitars & increase clarity.
__________
200Hz
1. Increase to add fullness to vocals.
2. Increase to add fullness to snare and guitar (harder sound).
3. Reduce to decrease muddiness of vocals or mid-range instruments.
4. Reduce to decrease gong sound of cymbals.
__________
400Hz
1. Increase to add clarity to bass lines especially when speakers are at low volume.
2. Reduce to decrease "cardboard" sound of lower drums (foot and toms).
3. Reduce to decrease ambiance on cymbals.
__________
800Hz
1. Increase for clarity and "punch" of bass.
2. Reduce to remove "cheap" sound of guitars
__________
1.5KHz
1. Increase for "clarity" and "pluck" of bass.
2. Reduce to remove dullness of guitars.
__________
3KHz
1. Increase for more "pluck" of bass.
2. Increase for more attack of electric / acoustic guitar.

And this too might help.
Low Bass: anything less than 50Hz
This range is often known as the sub bass and is most commonly taken up by the lowest part of the kick drum and bass guitar, although at these frequencies it's almost impossible to determine any pitch. Sub bass is one of the reasons why 12" vinyl became available: low frequencies require wider grooves than high frequencies - without rolling off everything below 50Hz you couldn't fit a full track onto a 7" vinyl record. However we do NOT recommend applying any form of boost around this area without the use of very high quality studio monitors (not home monitors - there is a vast difference between home nearfield and studio farfield monitors costing anywhere between £5,000 and £20,000). Boosting blindly in this area without a valid reference point can and will permanently damage most speakers, even PA systems. You have been warned!
Bass: 50-250Hz
This is the range you're adjusting when applying the bass boost on most home stereos, although most bass signals in modern music tracks lie around the 90-200Hz area with a small boost in the upper ranges to add some presence or clarity.
Muddiness/irritational area: 200-800Hz
The main culprit area for muddy sounding mixes, hence the term 'irritational area'. Most frequencies around here can cause psycho-acoustic problems: if too many sounds in a mix are dominating this area, a track can quickly become annoying, resulting in a rush to finish mixing it as you get bored or irritated by the sound of it.
Mid-range: 800-6kHz
Human hearing is extremely sensitive at these frequencies, and even a minute boost around here will result in a huge change in the sound - almost the same as if you boosted around 10db at any other range. This is because our voices are centred in this area, so it's the frequency range we hear more than any other. Most telephones work at 3kHz, because at this frequency speech is most intelligible. This frequency also covers TV stations, radio, and electric power tools. If you have to apply any boosting in this area, be very cautious, especially on vocals. We're particularly sensitive to how the human voice sounds and its frequency coverage.
High Range: 6-8kHz
This is the range you adjust when applying the treble boost on your home stereo. This area is slightly boosted to make sounds artificially brighter (although this artificial boost is what we now call 'lifelike') when mastering a track before burning it to CD.
Hi-High Range: 8-20kHz
This area is taken up by the higher frequencies of cymbals and hi-hats, but boosting around this range, particularly around 12kHz can make a recording sound more high quality than it actually is, and it's a technique commonly used by the recording industry to fool people into thinking that certain CDs are more hi-fidelity than they'd otherwise sound. However, boosting in this area also requires a lot of care - it can easily pronounce any background hiss, and using too much will result in a mix becoming irritating.

Multi Media Workshops
Friday, October 23, 2009, 01:40 PM - WORKSHOPS
From march 2006 to september 2007 I provided Multi Media Lessons and Workshop's as Visual Communication Lecturer in the Raffles Design Institute at DongHua University Campus Shanghai and in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)/Vietnam.
So I got the idea to create Multi Media Workshop's here in Shanghai; as Crash-Courses for beginners to start & run their first projects.
Possible Themes could be:
Production - Camera, Light, Shot-Framing & Visual Rules.
Timelapse - create dramatic highspeed movies.
Final Cut Pro - Editing, from Setup to Delivering an HD Program.
Shake - Tracking , Keying, Speedchange and Color Correction.
Motion - Simulation of complex particle animations without any keyframe. Animatics for TVC & Feature.
Cinema4d - Modeling, Texture Mapping, Animation, Light + Camera & Rendering.
Logic - soundtrack secrets.
Please tell me with an comment what do YOU would like to learn or what you are interesting in.
Best regards,
Xteve

I love doing TIME LAPSE Photography with nikon d90 Still Picture Camera. Controlled byMacBookPro, every parameter can be set with an direct preview on the screen (10 meters away from the camera). The huge benefit of this technique is to aquire nearly unlimited time of footage bigger than 4k, of course with an Super35 style feel.

Keying
Monday, October 5, 2009, 12:13 AM - PUBLICATIONS
Almost in post production, there some tasks to do like : "layering moving pictures over others" or embedding 3d content into real shooted footage. In fact anamorph HDV material in interlaced formats is just a joke and gives nothing more than an SD resolution key even with so called HD footage. Ok, to pull a key from HDV material is possible but extremely painful and you need to make huge compromise to the quality of the results even if YOU ARE A CRACK on FLINT/FLAME/INFERNO or FUSION or COMBUSTION , NUKE or SHAKE. I know, there exists some other Software solutions out there like AFTEREFFECTS or apple MOTION and the basic key solutions in AVID or FINALCUT or EDIUS or whatever edit stations.
With footage what is really aquired in an PROGRESSIVE format like XDCAM EX HD 1080p24/25... you can pull the blue/green screen key without any compromise. But thats only possible with an WORKAROUND to blurr the red & blue channel, because XDCAM EX HD means full luma and 960x540 chroma resolution. It is just 4:2:0 subsampled footage. But it seems good enough to get the job done. In an STUDIO you can use the HD-SDI out to capture the pictures in front of the greenscreen in 10bit 4:2:2 directly into your EDIT SUITE. That would mean you get out 1920x1080 pixel luma resolution and 960x1080 pixel chroma resolution.
So if you shoot PERSONS, you can rotate your cam -90 degree to get the whole picture into MORE pixel space.

My personal Audio Equipment History since 1990... or the soft switch from Steinberg to Logic
Thursday, October 1, 2009, 10:42 PM - PUBLICATIONS
A complete Music Studio inside my MacBook Pro. This is all what I ever needed. Thinking back 2 decades, there was an complete different workflow for audio(sound) recording. Digital Recording was "Science fiction". Because the Computer Hardware was just able to play 4 different colors and regulary NO SOUND on an 8000 $ IBM compatible PC. With an expensive midiboard it was possible to run the first Digital MIDI Sequencer Software Cubase (Steinberg) and Notator Logic on that kind of personal computer.
For an young student like me, it was just not affordable. I remember as my one year older brother Matthias showed up with an IBM compatible PC, loaded with the first Midi Sequencing System from the german company STEINBERG. Please Imagine, the fat computer just runs on 25MHz CPU Speed, it was one of the first x386 Processors inside. The 800kb/sec Harddrive was with 200MByte smaller than YOUR USB Drive 5 years ago!!!
There was no way to even record an Voice Over, or an Lead Vocal track. As so, we had our workarounds with this... because what WE DID... WAS ALREADY the FUTURE.
I for myself choosed to buy an "inexpensive COMMODORE AMIGA" computer. It was an integrated system including the complete A500 plus an CDRom Drive and integrated MIDI interface. But an HARDDISC was not even an OPTION at this time.
To boot that proprietary machine from FLOPPY DISK tooks around 6 minutes. And the ONLY available compatible MIDI Music Software "Bars & Pipes Professional" needed also around 5 minutes to get done.
Here comes an screenshot from the last and most advanced Bars & Pipes version:
And here it comes: As I was able to feed / record my Commodore CDTV with MIDI DATA... I could manipulate them and play out the MIDI tracks in real time.
So I decided to buy an analogue cassete tape based 4track recording/ mixing system. the Fostex XR5:
So my question to all "OLD SCHOOL" Audio Engineers around there: How did I syncronize the MIDI Playback with the Tape Playback to play BOTH MACHINES in SYNC & TIME?
Right, I needed some equipment TO CONVERT the MIDI Signal in an (later)readable AUDIO SIGNAL ... to record this FSK (Frequency Shift Key)MIDI Timecode on ONE of 4 tracks on the analog tape recorder.
So i also bought the Roland TR 626 Drum Computer from a second hand shop. Because this machine was an ideal MIDI > FSK(analog audio) Timecode converter.
Please Remind... NEVER EVER the MIDI MACHINE controlled the ANALOG TAPE Playback.
BUT: if i recorded that continous running TIMECODE audio signal to ONE of my available 4 Tracks.... I was able to SYNC the COMPUTER to the TAPE.
Yes, 16 MIDI Tracks feeded 16 different Instuments(Drums/Bass/Piano/Keyboard/Synthesizer) with control data... and 3 additional ANALOG audio tracks played Lead Voice , Backing Voice and real GUITAR.
This all was happen from 1989-1993. And at this time i was really proud of the results...
In 1992, I was one of the first people in europe who ordered an Philips DCC 900 as my personal DIGITAL MASTER RECORDER.
As digital high- end recording systems became more affordable for everyone; this was in 2002... I switched to the MOTU 828 firewire based multitrack recording interface.
Very long time I used also the following analogue & digital music synthesizer: Korg Poly800, Casio CZ201s, Yamaha DX11, Korg 05R/W and the external analog studio effect systems: Alesis Midiverb3, Digitech DSP16, also the superfast and cool sidechain stereo gate/compressor/limiter "DoD866SeriesII" together with an inexpensive 16 Channel console from "behringer". I preferred to use high end Condenser microphones (from the american company CAD) for singing lead voices, acoustic guitars, violins and every kind of real existing noise.
Today I use just Steinberg or Apple Logic Software to create approximately 128 different Audio Tracks, who playback simultan and completely mixed SURROUND ENSEMBLES with EQ, AUX, SENDS, INSERTS, in incredible 24bit/192khz, unlimited SUBGROUPS/BUSSES up to Dolby Digital 5.1, 6.1, DTS, CINEMA SURROUND, THX /Sony SDDS.
The SOFTWARE follows now the HARDWARE: hands on real 100mm Motor faders MIDI Console .
Welcome in the (already existing) FUTURE of Audio and Video in High Definition!

"The Route Of Chance" ... 100 RMB TheFilm
Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 09:32 PM - PUBLICATIONS
My friend & colleague Antonin Lelievre came up with an nearly finished script just few weeks ago. We decided, to bring that STORY to life on screen.
When? Right NOW! Yes... some people rotating in pre production already, to find partners, helpers, actors, props, locations, technical support, crew.... all for free/unpayed... of course. We are working to build an community/network to get this FILM done.
Planned for shooting is definitly august 2009.
We will shoot with SONY's CineAlta PMW-EX1, used as main camera for all shots in full HD resolution: 1920x1080 @ 25p. I painted PictureProfiles for all INT/EXT situations to feature the scenes with amazing 10stops of possible sensitivity. I love to work with footage from this camera. At all my expirienced times with HD cameras in the last couple of years always I preferred to use the SONY HDCAM F750/900 (well known as the first digital camera used for cinematic pictures in STARWARS), to reach state of the art quality & aquire amazing pictures for industry & show content.
Now I face, the XDCAM EX1 gives IMHO even a bit MORE of usuable picture quality and flexibility in difficult shooting situations as well.
Here an example still picture from a movie sequence, shot with standard settings:

Yes for sure ' I miss SAIGON. Here in the south of VIETNAM are living some of the most beautiful people i ever met in my life. The high level WORK ETHIC and (self)motivation from my students I teached to learn NEW TECHNOLOGIES and TECHNIQUES in class was totally awesome.
You wanna see an example of the vietnamese creative power I am talking about?
Please enjoy Tae Ha Khoi's "ONE WAY" MTV project as his final project after his first five weeks enrolment in my class:
Actually there is so much to say and even more to show, please be patient, I will update the blog step by step.
Furthermore the combination of vietnam's HISTORY, excellent vietnamese FOOD with historical influences from french cuisine and but last not least the BEST COFFEE ever I tasted in the world gives me no choice... I need to visit VIETNAM again 'n again.

What about shooting and editing a HD Short without a proper gear and without a proper edit station?

I found out that catch a moment and edit it on the (flying)plane or taxi can outperform big planned productions by far!
Using just an iPhone4s, trying to shoot and edit a short film with nothing more than a iPhone4s and an attached standard headset(microphone)! Since technology reached to provide a super small production crew plus gear just in my pocket... I am curious to create a worth to watch result just with my mobil phone abilities.
Cons: just the iPhone 4S camera and 2 apps
Pros: just the iPhone 4S camera and 2 apps
I will use only available light and NO tripod!
Just the phone with attached headphones/mic headset, the FilmicPro app, and iMovie for iPhone.
I gonna post the result here soon! Stay tuned
