This little multimedia presentation above was created to announce a new Gallery on PhotoShelter while in the background huge file transfers took place, moving Terra Bytes of photos from one Hard drive to another, a yearly maintenance but ever so important. Back-up and more back-ups, and as a reminder that I be giving a talk at Power Mac Center Greenbelt 3 on the 25th of June starting at 6:00 PM. "Back-up solutions for your photos."

First Project and a small appetizer
from the new iMovie in iLife '11

Had a little time on my hands yesterday...very little actually, but decided to check out iMovie in iLife '11.
Wow, this is so cool with an almost all new interface and so many more possibilities, Apple got it right all the way, easy to use interface and slick new effects and options including all the new share options to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo etc.,etc.

In no time at all I created this short trailer with some still images from our last GD Photo Workshop in India 2010 using images from the Holi Celebration, of course the possibilities are endless once the creative juices start to flow, this is only my very first attempt using the new iMovie.

The cool looking interface iMovie from iLife '11

What is also super cool....my Aperture 3 Library including the Video clips are all in the iMovie Media Browser, of course the iPhoto and iTunes Library is there too. again total integration!

My next project is going to be a lot more elaborate using Stills and Video clips combined and maybe mix in a bit of Motion too, but today it is only a very small appetizer the main course has to wait until I get the time...hopefully very soon.

First impression...Super cool!!!

Mystical Asia QT 2:51min. - Best viewed in Safari Browser
File size: Approx. 18MB - DSL Broadband connection recommended.

I have been flood out the past few days with Photography and Aperture 3 workshops at the Power Mac Center at Greenbelt 3 Makati. Tomorrow I have another session the whole day at the University of the Philippines Diliman sponsored by Power Mac Center Educational Division, all this prior my departure for the US on Tuesday.

But I promised on my last post that I share with you yet another cool Multimedia Demo/Presentation and here it is, "Mystical Asia" a 2.56 min. QT file, using Photos from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma (Myanmar) Nepal and Tibet.

I finished this demo only a few days ago, amazing stuff you can create using a MacBook Pro and of course the cool Aperture 3 slideshow with GarageBand and my new "Girlfriend called Motion" from Final Cut Studio.

Endless possibilities...with a touch of Motion your Multimedia demos or presentations can look so different and really come alive.
Now sit back and enjoy "Mystical Asia".

Please note the video is best viewed using your Safari Browser we experienced recently that in Firefox some script codes appear underneath the QT window, the video will still play correctly but it looks a bit strange.
Hopefully this issue is disappear soon.

GD Photo Workshop site

Oh my I can't leave it alone...applied some new make up on my Blog. Overall new look, changed the images and moved things from the right to the left, etc. and more uniform with my GD Photo Workshop site. http://www.deichmann-photo.com/gdphotoworkshop/

It started like this:
Early this evening I sat down with my Partner and Webmaster Arj to discuss some other issues when I had this crazy idea...
Arj what do you think? Lets change the look of my Blog...are you kidding me, you like to do this now?
Yes, I am deadly serious... ha, ha. Oh come on...GD.

That how it all started... a few hours later it was done, we did encounter some glitches but otherwise it went smooth, if you find something not working properly please let me know so we can fix it.

Another surprise is waiting already within the next few days...I just finished a nice Multimedia presentation of course using Aperture 3, GarageBand and my new found "Girlfriend called Motion". This one is promising to be very cool and slick, I have it uploaded by latest on Monday...need to get it done prior my departure for San Francisco on Tuesday.

I hope you like the new look of the Blog, if you don't see any changes right away please refresh your Browser.

Mystical Cambodia is a Journey into the past...created for my GD Photo Workshops and my love for Cambodia.
Produced with Aperture 3, Motion from Final Cut Studio and GarageBand. The short Video clip at the end was taken with a Nikon D300s long after sunset with very little light left. I created the soundtrack for this project entirely in GarageBand which took about 20 min.
You might noticed that I am using Aperture 3 slideshows with Motion lately, it is just an awesome combination for Multimedia presentations, tutorials or just for fun.
