Greed...

Are we ready that greedy? First, the food incident. that so already so embarrassing. Now this. What kind of society are we living in? Doesnt Allah SWT give us enough? Why are we not content with what we have and thankful we have what others do not. My sympathies to those who were unfortunate enough to be caught up in this. I say, POST UP THE PICTURES. Post them up so people can see who these people are. Post up the videos. Broadcast it and blog their ridiculously greedy nature so we know who they are. For this, THEY do not deserve any mercy.

Nathan & Valerie

A wedding video I shot together with friend and colleague Eiwan Lois last year. Ignore the titling.. this was a draft edit and was playing around with effects. I know.. looks like a casino :)

Film Look

Click on the TITLE to go to Exposureroom to view the large image.

Producing a video from a digital source to mimick film is not easy. Film has a very distinct character that seems impossible to achieve. A lot of people have tried.. many have fail.. because of all the elements that make up the cinematic film look, the analog grain has been hardest to reproduce from a digital source. The big production houses out there in Hollywood would have no problems in doing this.. but little people like us.. well...

The color grade for this video is inspired from the movie 300.

I'm currently processing the HM62 video into this and will see how it looks like. The process itself is going to take about a day to two days just to process and render the video. Once that is done, I will have to re-sync back the audio.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

BEDB and its initiatives

Congratulations to the BEDB on the launch of their new website. Very nicely done. I hope all our other government sites can follow their example soon. Lots of very useful and very nice presented information. One piece of information that caught my attention was the request for tender for the Transformation of the Sg Akar dump site.

Although it would be nice if a local company could do fulfill the task, I think this is something that we require external help with. I did some research into possible solutions for this problem we have and singled out a possible solution. 

Waste-to-Energy Recycling

In particular, Mechanical Biological Treatment Plants, caught my attention. Read the link for more information.

All the other methods were less efficient and had issues with environmental safety and conservation. W2E solution seems to provide the optimum balance between waste management, environmental protection and alternative energy. I hope the BEDB and/or some local entrepreneur would be able to take this further and seriously look into importing this technology and building several of these plants here to remedy our waste management gap and simultaneously create employment opportunities as well as technology transfer for our nation.

These are the advantages (wikipedia):

Usable wastes for this system:

- Municipal solid waste

- Sewage sludge

Products of this system:

- Recycable materials such as metals, paper, plastics, glass etc.

- Organic fertilizer (separate collection of organic waste)

- Unusable materials prepared for their unharmful final deposit (compaction > 1.3 t/m³)

- Carbon credits – additional revenues

- High calorific fraction (refuse derived fuel – RDF) – additional revenues

Further advantages:

- The finally deposited waste is inert

- Reduction of the waste volume to be deposited to at least a half (density > 1.3 t/m³), thus the lifetime of the landfill is at least twice as long as usually

- Utilization of the leachate in the process

- No unbidden guests such as birds, dogs, vermin, rats on site

- No additional facilities for the collection and combustion of biogas as there is no biogas

- Daily covering not necessary

- Aftercare 3 to 5 years

Changing the landfill to a park does not solve our problem. We will still need to put the rubbish somewhere. Why not use that money to pay for a system to change our waste into alternative energy, provide employment, reduce pollution and save the residents' of that or any other area from further suffering?
