How to Plan a Successful 70th Birthday Party for Mother.

The party went smooth or at least it looks well planned...

Arrived at the restaurant 1 hour earlier... asked for a dvd player... bought a S$30 10m av cable... hooked the cable from the dvd player to the larger tv screen near the vip table... now we have great sound and big video... invited mother out to greet guests so we can test our surprise video montage...

Guests trickled in... relatives, in-laws, neighbors... videography starts... that is I am the event videographer for the night... everyone invited turned up... actually only 4 tables...

Dinner begins with an thank you announcement by second sis and an invitation to watch mum' surprise video...

The audience watched with joy as the video showed mum's younger days photos progressing to the present day... some video speeches and song by her daughters and grandkids... the show ended with a loud applause...

10-course Dinner begins... peach buns, sharks fins, cold dish, steamed fish, braised duck, sea cucumber mushrooms, drunken prawns, longevity noodles, pumpkin paste...

Guests mingled... kids playes... time to hand out table gifts... mum personally handed out to each guest a red packet with a lottery ticket inside... kids get a pack of cereal...

The moment we have been waiting for... cake cutting time... kids lined up behind the cake each holding a tiny bouquet... the eldest grandkid was the last holding the biggest bouquet... it is a mahjong designed cake... the birthday music played... the cake rolled in the aisle... a line of 8 all kids shorter than the cake trolley followed behind... mum was delighted to see the mahjong cake... one by one the kids gave the bouquet to their grandma... she was just too happy... Then the eldest daughter gave a wrapped gift.

Group Photos with the cake... Cut cake... It’s a durian mahjong cake.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8.
