Snow

Yes. It snowed today.. and the country seems to be obsessed!

I didn't actually venture out of my house today, due to my motorbike riding during other weekdays giving me enough opportunity to be in the freezing cold - but I still got a little bit creative with capturing the snow on digital form.

I hope it does not last long, I want the summer back where I can go out in a t-shirt! Motorbike riding in sub zero temperatures would not be so bad if it were not so dark, so early in the afternoon. Car drivers just cannot see us.

69 Officer?

Well I'm not really quite sure what to make of this one, but I'm sure it will capture the minds and attention of many men up and down the country!



As a young male who has been caught speeding by the police, I'm pretty sure if I had tried the tactic displayed in the video it would have got me nowhere - if not into more trouble...

My latest film project for University.

Big thanks to Jeff Pelta.

Enjoy!

Blackberry Bold 9700 OS 6 Firmware Upgrade First Impressions + Issues + Surprises

I finally took the plunge and decided to install the leaked version of OS6 for my Blackberry Bold 9700.

First impressions, issues and surprises in my video here:


Blackberry Bold 9700 OS 6 Firmware Upgrade First Impressions + Issues + Surprises from David Itzcovitz on Vimeo.

A few things I noticed soon after making the video, and didn't include, were:

- Main menu, no longer opened with menu button, but by clicking on 'Open Tray' after clicking Menu button..
- Much faster bootup time, around 20-30 seconds.. instead of 2 minutes as previous!!
- Contact history log, in the phonebook under each contact it has a history of your contact with them.
- Tabbed browsing, hurrah!!! self explanatory, can open multiple tabs in the internet browser.
- Videos in gallery have preview thumbnails.
- Calendar icon now updates according to the actual date. 
- Camera options (flash, focus, scene settings, video camera mode) all easier to access with single clicks on buttons onscreen rather than through menus.


There are probably lots more to mention but I am still discovering them.

Thanks for watching!

The Sun: THE WOMAN YOU'D LOVE YOUR WOMAN TO BE LIKE

We all loved the Old Spice adverts.

Well. The Sun have got it bang on the nose here, check this one out..



AMAZING.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eos 550D + Nunchucks = Extreme slo-mo footage :D

So, after a bit of time out from blogging I hope to make a little return.

To update the past few weeks, I have had a motorbike crash, my laptop has died, I have been paid out for motorbike repair, I have bought a new laptop, I have had to buy a new screen to work with new laptop, I bought a new digital SLR camera and I have been playing with all new things a lot!

Here's my latest little experiment.



Shot on my new Canon Eos 550d at 60fps, conformed to 23.98fps using Cinema Tools and edited in Final Cut Pro. Music is 'Stompbox' by Overseer. The 60fps footage at the end is waaaay overkill for the human eye, but is great for slow motion footage.

Awesome.

Awesome Carlsberg + Sky 3D + Kelly Brook (!?!!) advert!

Well.. I wish the adverts at my local cinema were this good!



A proper good example of advertising companies taking new levels. Just had to share this one :D
