A Little Bit of Life Update/Advice/Suggestions

Hope y'all doing well wherever you are! Just wanna keep you guys updated on what I have been up to recently and wanted to give you guys some advice and at the same time ask y'all for a bit of suggestion :)

1. This month has been hectic so far, already meeting 7 deadlines with 3 more to finish off the semester. So editing is a bit slower t...

Sneak Peak of New Video!

Hopefully by the end of the week!
Just gotta balance video editing with finals, one of my most anticipated videos to edit so far! Brings me back so much memories again :')

YouTube Thumbnails #3

New Video Coming Soon! Still trying to re-edit some footage because they did not turn out the way I wanted them to.
My Final Year of University is becoming a hectic one, still trying to get my life sorted. But I would say things are going well, new sleep schedule, new routine, and new perspective, will explain a bit more in the upcoming video...

Fall Season

Since Fall is already here I might as well show y'all some of my favorite shots of Autumn.
I spent half of my already dwindling savings on this trip when I was a freshman, skipped a few classes, and might have lied to my parents about where I was going, but I think the experience was worth every single penny and might have further kickstarted...

Quick Question about Sleeping & Waking Up

What do you think is the best time to sleep and wake up?
What are your sleep schedules?
Do you prefer to sleep late or early if you can freely choose?
Do you feel more productive in the morning or at night?

The infamous red arrow on YouTube

YouTube Thumbnails #1

Here are some Thumbnails that I took before I filmed the video.
The thing about YouTube is that once you posted a video you can still change the title and thumbnail as you go along which is something that I have done multiple times and sometimes with magnificent results even a few months later as I posted the video.

8. My THIRD Attempt at Vlogging

It is a 3 part series of Japan. Please watch it only if you have time :)
Word of caution I was speaking in Cantonese because I thought I was thinking it would be better to vlog in Cantonese :) BUT I guess a I threw that idea out of the window for a while already

7. My SECOND Attempt at Vlogging

Yes, it was a 7-day trip and there was a lot of footage so I had to separate them or else the video would literally be an hour long.

6. This was my FIRST attempt at VLOGGING

3 Years Ago

My friends and I went on a graduation trip to Japan. And I thought that it would be great "content" for YouTube so I tried vlogging for the first time. 

A 15 minute video seems effortless back then, when now I feel like a 5 minute video is already long enough. This is on...

4. First "Public" Video on The Channel

This was the second video I ever filmed after I got my camera.
Nothing too special, just hanging out with the boys for a photoshoot.
But looking back at where I started I was just obsessed with slow-motion and music, maybe that's why they looked terrible lol.

3. Thailand
Apologies for the overuse of transitions and horribly unstabilized footage, gotta start somewhere right? :)

1. Me Trying to Learn Magic

The card in the thumbnail is actually real, I made it just for the thumbnail and still kept it till this day.

Premiere Pro Editing Timeline: 1

This is what my typical editing timeline looks like in Premiere Pro.
I know it looks very intimidating but it only starts out with two lines, the more sound and effect I add onto the video, the more complicated the layers become.

Do you guys want a more detailed breakdown of how I edit videos? Let me know in the comments!

New Japan Video Coming on Friday!

After 4 weeks, 5 edit drafts, and countless crashes on Premiere Pro. The video is finally ready.
I am not a good vlogger by any means, I feel like I still need a lot of time to figure out how to vlog, but at the same time, I prefer to tell stories than just vlogging. So actually up till today, I am still trying to figure out what my style is....

If you want to show it to me after editing do feel free as well, just let me know via comments or messages on Pat...

2017-2018 Portraits

A compilation of portraits I took and edited of my friends when I first got my camera in 2017-2018.
I have no idea I had most of these shots until I was tidying my files and deleting photos.
Not my proudest series photos because all I did was bump up the contrast and clarity to the max and thought it looked cool, but now looking at it it'...

Vintage Lens on A7IV

First time trying out a cheap vintage lens on my camera and I have to say. I really dig the vibe.
Generally, old lens are not as sharp and they do not have an anti-reflective coating which causes the dramatic lens flare in the photo. But I have to say it looks really flattering while taking portraits and the lens flare look is something that...
