Hiking Adventures – Intro Video

  By

Since the peeps in the video have been requesting it so bad, here is a short intro to what I’ve been working on. These are hikes from Koko Crater, Diamond Head (not really a hike, more like walk), and Maunawili. I plan on uploading longer clips of each hike when I get a chance to work on them all.

Now I’m uploading this here like this mostly because YouTube semi-blocked the video due to me using audio from Tron Legacy :-(

Anyways, enjoy!

It’s kinda big so bare with the download please :-)

Sunset Beach – June 10, 2011 – Kamehameha Day

  By

So, for the first time in a very long time, my girlfriend and I had a day off together. YAY! So we decided to go to the North Shore here on Oahu and snorkel at Sunset Beach.

It was a great day. Woke up early to beat the long line that usually forms and got there around I’d say 10AM. Great parking up front and our usual spot under the palm tree to the right.

After relaxing for a bit and waiting for the sun to warm up the water, I had started putting together a story board in my head. I wanted to shoot with my GoPro again and see what I could do if I thought about it before hand. So here’s the result of that.

Music: Dub-FX – Love Someone

The guy is a musical genius!

So what have I learned from this experience of shooting?

1. I need to get some fins for myself. You have no idea how hard it is to keep a little camera stable while struggling to stay down.

2. Where to point the camera. A lot of the time I’m pointing the camera at the horizon. Something I really can’t tell with my version of GoPro. It has no screen so I have no idea what I’m looking at. So I need to over compensate that wide angle lens. Not just left and right but up and down.

3. Practice staying down. I used to be able to stay down longer, but I don’t go diving as often as I used to. Ear pains keep me from staying down and running out of breathe is not good.

All in all though I am very proud of my baby diving down. She isn’t the best underwater swimmer and here I have proof of her taking the plunge. YAY!

David Choi – LIVE! Hard Rock Cafe Waikiki, Honolulu – May 07, 2011

  By

YouTube sensation, David Choi, performed live on Saturday night to a packed house. Well when you consider how many people are on YouTube doing music, It’s amazing that so many people here in Hawaii know of his music. Of course it also helps that he is asian and well we have a pretty big population of asian people here.

There was something I noticed though while trying to get pictures of the event… iPhones were out numbered by Android devices. Now you’re probably wondering, “How do you know that?” Lately at concerts it has become apparent that everybody and their Grandma got a cellphone and now most record video. Well when David came out on stage all the cellphones went up in the air and I noticed almost all were Android devices. I was so happy to see that lol :-p

See all the little screens? LoL Anyways if you want to see the rest of the photos here’s the link. You can also view the slideshow :-)
