COLDPLAY Live 2012! - Available Now on CD+DVD!

Stadiums filled with people, albums selling like hotcakes, men oozing sexiness just like me. Nostalgia, that's one word to describe it but I almost cried seeing this. I was invited with a few people to a private viewing of COLDPLAY's concert DVD. It's slated to be released this Friday, that's November 30, 2012. Roughly around 100 minutes++ of unadulterated, pure music, lights and exhilarating concert experience made special because the band members had a say on it. They designed the whole thing with the people in mind so in turn they become a part of it. How?! Well let's just say that's exactly one of the things you should watch for when you purchase this after Friday. There are also several countries where they performed in but most of it is shot in Paris where you'll see a humongous stadium all filled with fans screaming their lungs out just for COLDPLAY.

This one isn't actually for local release. This is the international version. Those scribbles actually was seen also in the concert stage. I won't tell you how, you must get it first before it makes sense hehe.

All their best hits plus new ones are included in this DVD release. Mylo Xyloto (which is consequently also the fifth studio album by this British alternative rock band), Hurts Like Heaven, In My Place, Major Minus, Yellow, Violet Hall, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Princess of China, Up In Flames, Viva La Vida, my personal favorite Charlie Brown, Paradise, Us Against The World, Clocks, Fix You and Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall.Oh and before I forget, Mylo Xyloto charted at number one in 34 countries on its first week so just imagine how much airplay their song gets in one day! The first week alone walloped 208,000 units of this!

Coldplay Live 2012 is their first concert film/live album. They're around the world touring and showing this concert to almost 3 Million people across countries.Chris Martin has never been so proud of this because the Mylo Xyloto tour made them realize that its the most fun they've ever had in a long time. From laser lights, to pyrotechnics and wristbands, it has been an honor for them to have had the chance to have their throng of fans perform with them in the concert. We were at awe at what we saw in Paris so don't even think about not watching it!

Go grab your copies on Friday! It will be available in Coldplay Live 2012 CD+DVD (Philippine Version) for only 485 Philippine Pesos and Coldplay Live 2012 CD+DVD (Imported Limited Edition) with free Mylo Xyloto baller for 1,500 Philippine Pesos.Thanks to the people from Astroplus/Astrovision, Odyssey Music and Video, and Polyeast Records. You guys rock! =)

Easy Media Duplication

I have given my URBAN themed models some copies of the high resolution pictures I took a few months ago. It was a little overdue. I already have that set sent to the organizers but someone took it out of our virtual drive. Good thing I have them on data DVD; so I recovered and sent them edited copies of it. I have to render more since I entered parts of it in a contest. Luckily I will now have my photo printed in their magazine; but I need high resolution ones. These are commonly large files and I would not be able to fit all of them in one CD or DVD. That is what you will get when you do full frame. Diskette Duplication is quite hard to do since media of this sort is not available at home or even in the office.

I need to also have the release forms ready since some of my subjects are also minors. Most of the street photos I have concern the situation in the streets so I can't really avoid that. I made sure none of them were used for anything but the art of photography. Since I don't know how to quantify how much media I need to supply the event coordinators so they can take a look at my work, I need an institution that would be able to produce large quantities. I also need to have the videos I made for the slide shows I prepared too. I need something like the CD duplication Boston has. Duplication and mastering might take a while if I just leave it to amateurs. I need professionals to do it for me and I expect something that would be able to emulate companies like COPTECH DIGITAL as a standard. I know we can get a lot of information about this there. It's where we can obviously see that Boston Printing has never been better. Thank the heavens for easy media duplication; it made my life a little bit easier!

Storing My Photos Now!

I am currently having some problems because my hard drive is acting up again. When I opened it up this morning it was in a snail's pace. It was even hard to see some of the icons in my desktop so I was thinking memory might be running a little low. I was shocked because a couple of warnings suddenly popped up. My drive space apparently is low so I went ahead and looked for cd-r media so I could transfer all my photos to them. Yes I am guilty because I filled up my 120GB drive with raw files. Imagine all my 42 photo shoots are all there and I have them all in 2-3MB or more pieces so it obviously is the culprit of the laptop's slowdown.

I do not know if this would be the next thing I will have to do but it seems right that I keep a library of my work so I would not be a victim of stolen pictures. That is a little common here nowadays. Keeping the CD would also be better because I can just put them inside my folder and bring them out when I need it. I can also have them organized per shoot so everything would be easier to find. I will rise to the occasion and have them labeled too. It is something smart to do and did I say a good thing?!

This is it! I Want To Get My Own DVD Copy!

I am a self confessed couch potato and the things I really love to do when I am lounging around the house is eating buttered popcorn and watching DVD movies. I get to spend some time alone rather than my busy schedule at work; and it gives me a little breather from the hectic schedule which I follow religiously. I have that whole DVD Catalog by myself and I enjoy titles from Action, Drama, Comedy and Fantasy movies. I would not bore myself even if I am going to be the only one watching these shows. There are also concerts which I like a lot but I prefer some documentaries too. The Michael Jackson inspired movie "THIS IS IT!" has inspired audiences all over the world and some people from the YOUTUBE phenomenon CEBU CITY inmates were also included in this latest DVD release. I was excited to see them all in one site called DVDCORRAL.COM and now I am contemplating on getting my own copy of the BLURAY disc available in their store. It looks like they also can get my collection organized if I order through them. I wonder how much it would cost to get me this one in particular. I want to get my hands on it soon so I can go watch it and learn his moves too. Pretty neat you say?! Do you want it for yourself? Go ahead and visit them now!





Disclosure Policy

Leave it to the Experts!

It has been 5 months since I have taken photography seriously and have amassed about 5000 or more pictures. This is because I have been a lot of places and taken this hobby of mine into another level ever since I got my D60 camera. My hard drive space is closely filling up because I have been taking raw images since the very beginning as advised by my mentors so I could post process them easily. I have taken in consideration purchasing additional storage but I guess it is quite expensive. I would have to save quite an amount before I could buy network storage that would fit my need.



In the meantime, I would need to have my backups done on CD and DVD since that is the cheaper alternative. I may have to consider getting professionals to do this job since I would not want to lose months of information and images. I know the feeling of losing years of work because I have not secured people who know what they are doing. I lost 4 years of email when I got some random friend do that handy work for me. I do not want to be completely disappointed when it comes to these. DVD Mastering in Boston has never been better. It is one place to go to for graphic and print production facilities. They take care of these needs and let experts do the job for you. The DVD Mastering Boston has; sets it apart from state competitors because they believe in not sacrificing quality. I would not want to commit the same mistake I did a couple of months ago. I had to re associate all my sent items just to have a vague description of my in box because I never recovered my files. The CD Mastering Boston takes pride for is another thing to look at because they also are at par with the world's best when it comes to duplication, and Digital Offset Printing. Make the right choice like what people are doing in the Boston area and you would never be afraid of losing tons of work!

Online Petition: ERASERHEADS DVD!

I want to share to you guys an online petition and the reason why the DVD for the ERASERHEADS FINAL SET has not been released. Apparently it has something to do with SMART Communications inability to let go of the finances they want so eagerly from this. They want a share of the loot as so they may say and chances are they would not release it at all. Do they know how rampant the sales of the pirated version is? If you walk the streets of Quiapo you will definitely find on or more of these things and it is a best seller apart from the usual blockbuster movies that are recently released. They are continuing to lose money because the longer that they keep these to themselves, the more people are gonna buy the pirated copy. If it were up to me I would immediately issue the DVD together with other behind the scene shots and interviews so these pirates would all drag their feet and not sell those anymore.

It would be also nice if they get some shots of the first concert on it too and the whole news story about how the second one came about. I think I'm thinking aloud but it is right to do this. I would like you my readers to know that there is an online petition that you should share with your co eraserheads fans. It is available here. Click this.

To anyone at SMART management, please release the DVD or else I would be forced to buy the pirated one. I'm a die hard fan of ERASERHEADS so please heed my call!

No More Horror Stories!

I'm not much of a horror movie fan but all my friends have this notion to watch every single one that is out in the market just so I could not get some sleep and get me frightened every time. Not that I was given a fright but I do have this notion that after watching this gory and blood stricken DVD, the next thing to happen is a nightmare for me. I know it sounds foolish but it is becoming automatic. I know you would laugh at me like they did but hey, I guess we just live in different worlds.

In the Philippines, it is very expensive to purchase DVD or Blue Ray Discs. Chances are, if you even had to purchase one it would only consist of old movies and re runs. You would never get to see the latest movies unless you purchase pirated copies of it which is illegal and you can eventually get jailed for. Downloading them off the Internet plays the same music because of copyright infringement laws so the best option is to go ahead and rent these for a minimal fee.

This is how most Filipinos usually spend their weekends with their family and this is how they coined the term DVD Marathon which would mean they watch it the whole day. Funny to see people glued to their TV sets that long but it really does happen in this side of the world. One thing I hate though is the instances where my friends usually watch the DVD movies instead of me. They borrow without asking as usual but I do not mind at all. It's just that if they do borrow it sometimes, they neglect to return it on time. It makes me the original borrower, pay for the corresponding dues which cost a lot in Philippine pesos. If only we had BLOCKBUSTER around the corner. I could take advantage of their Total Access Plans and have them returned by mail. My friends are all from outside the skirts of Metro Manila so if they had this option, it would really be easy to ask them and drop them off. If they also pass by these stores, they can immediately exchange it for the latest movies and take care of those pesky late fees that come with it. This is perfect for those friends who you could not say NO to. Local video stores would just be at envy if they knew it was going to be this easy. There are no more horror stories anymore with BLOCKBUSTER around!
