| Korean Movies Countdown: No. 10: Once Upon a Time in High School |
| 2011-06-09 01:13:00 |
Well time to get the countdown of my top 10 Korean Movies.I've seen very little of Korean Movies (actually less than 30 films to be honest) to actually make a proper countdown; but here goes anyway.I'm sure there are more outstanding films out there that I've missed from my Top 10 list.So on the Number 10 spot: We have Once Upon a Time in High School. (The Spirit of Jeet Kune Do)Directed by the excellent Yoo Ha, this film is set in a high school in South Korea, 1978.Excellent casts all around. The main characters are played by Kwon Sang Woo (one of my favorite actors), Han Ga In (the only movie film I remembered she appeared in) and Lee Jeong Jin.Kwon Sang Woo plays Hyun Soo, a very shy high school student but an avid fan of Bruce Lee; had a secret crush on the ever gorgeous Eun Ju (Han Ga...

| Korean Movies: Honorable Mentions (200 Pounds Beauty) |
| 2011-06-08 01:49:00 |
Ok, I admit it.I watched this movie all because of Kim Ah Joong. She won the best actress award in the 44th Grand Bell Awards.The plot goes like this: (from IMDB)Hanna is the famous Korean pop singer. She suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery.To add on, she has a crush on her company's music director Sang Jun; and to win him over, she is willing to make the crucial decision that will change her life happiness forever by going through the knife.Kim Ah Joong plays both the "fat" and "slender" Hanna. Take a look at the MV below and wow, She's absolutely smoking!The story is cheesy, simple and straight forward; with of course, lots of comedic moments, ...

| Korean Movies: Honorable Mentions (The Host) |
| 2011-01-24 12:06:00 |
I watched "The Host" after all the publicity hype on how good this film was.As of March 2009, this is the highest grossing film to date in South Korea, selling a total of 13,019,740 tickets. This means that over 20% of the South Korean population watched the movie (although there were also some who went to see it several times). (From IMDB)Personally I'm impressed; especially with the first half of the film.The CGI on the monster, the execution, the storyline etc, are all very good.However I find the action/ thrill trails out at the end, giving this film a somewhat "bland after-taste".As with most Korean films, you'll get a dose of humor, thrill, action, and drama.A must watch if you are into "monsters" or "thrill" kind of movies....

| Digital Imaging: Mini Power!!! (Part 1) |
| 2010-12-28 23:21:00 |
I'm always a big fan of the Mini Cooper; so I decided to embark on this personal project (which was done a couple of years back)I've decided to take a photo of an ordinary Mini Cooper "S"; and apply digital enhancements; with the final output of the sporty car in a showroom advertisement kind of feel. (see below final image)The final output. My favorite car in my favorite colors; waiting to be driven off from the showroom!The original photo I've taken from the web; credit to the original owner. :PMasking time! I masked out the car into its own element. I did enhance the look a bit here by applying a classic "S" curve.LAB time! How to change the bluish color to my favorite green color? Using LAB mode is the easiest! Note that the bumpers and other chrome parts of the car reflect the green c...

| Restoration Process: Tintin T-shirt to iPhone Wallpaper! |
| 2010-12-28 21:47:00 |
The final output "Tintin with Captain Haddock and Snowy, iPhone Wallpaper (640x960)"The initial stage: I got this T-shirt in Thailand during my National Service stint.An excellent T-shirt (a huge favorite of mine); I worn it till it was pretty worn out.I decided to "savage" the graphic on the T-shirt for future use.I scanned the T-shirt in 3 portions; making sure I cover all the areas of the graphic.Using Photoshop; I lay out the 3 pieces of the scanned graphic layers till they aligned up.Using the clone and healing tool; I touched up the graphic till it looks like above.Next step; Illustrator!Illustrator has a function call "Live Trace"; I tried it; but I got rough edges on the scan to Black & White. Tweaking the settings remained futile.I decided to go "manual" on this one and trace ...
