Now Rakesh is set to hook up with the first girl he can and have himself one night stand. Little does he know there's more to the girl he picks up than he knows.

Bald & Bold with Yung Yung

Monday, Jan 11, 2010 11:20PM / Members only

First time edited a something someone else filmed however also first time got to see Nikon film files and also editing with a director next to me. Nikon film files are so odd cause they do open with any Windows program but it does not open in any editing programs except movie maker I have extra convert it with bink and smacker before I could use it.

But I would had like to film this one instead of just editing it cause when I shaved my head I wanted to go for special shots with one standing cam and other close up but eventually was just one cam on tripod and 2 taking pictures. Also for me as a guy is less extreme than a girl plus I did no go to complete bald. But I would know what kind of shots I would like to have or actually try total bald like have 2 persons same time trying bald. Or do a short sketch with several bald people.

Also hope to do some more editing together is more fun with more people around while editing giving good advice then just doing it all alone.

Extra on a filmset

Monday, Dec 21, 2009 2:02AM / Members only

Was today on a film set of Cordelia being an extra (ke le fe),it was pretty easy and allot of fun and made some friends.

I don't know much about the scrīpt but pretty much instructed for some easy stuff. Just talk act as there is no cam and don't look into the cam until it was instructed. Also know the lead actor is Gold Mountain who is a MC, actor and more.

Also on set as extra was Yung Yung who I met before but this time she is back from China with wild blond super saiyan hair. I totally did not recognize her at first cause of her hair, even though I seen the photo on Facebook with blond hair.

Also I am not sure if they were filming this on the set and would be ad for this drink. But one thing I know this product smells, they say the taste is just like orange juice, but man the smell that came out already had me freaked out. I did allot of product reviews, research and tasting as a hobby during college, but man I think with this smell it ain't be product that would sell. Unless they add an ingredient to lessen the smell or abstract it. But also the ingredient is such an odd list is it like a list of different sauces and then added a dash of lemon on top. Plus the common rule that something that stinks mostly means it is bad for you.

Chung Dha is a designer based in Hong Kong / the Netherlands. He studied Packaging Design/ Graphic Design and joined different contest to explore his designing abilities, also he do freelance designs for companies and started his own design company Chung Dha.

2001 - I got my Mavo-D diploma at Aquamarijn Reviusplein.

2002 - I joined Gp500store.co.uk with the nickname LaZy_tJaI. Where I soon learned allot of photo editing skills with Paint Shop Pro and from a friend called GAP. I soon became a well known texture skinner in the community.

Later changed from Paint Shop Pro to Adobe Photoshop to improve my skills in photo editing. Later learned skills to convert models from SEM and Mautorex. And learned 3d studio Max from online tutorials. And made different models and most famed for making helmet models.

This year I went to pre-police academy to train my self so I could join the Police force. But in my free time I became more attracted to the designing things for games. I finished that year and got a diploma but did not applied at the police force.

2003 - I worked as a freelance designer for http://www.brandmerk.com/ where I got the first taste of graphic design in a real company. The first logo I sold was also the logo for this company. This year I also went to study at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam and was aiming for Animations and Games, but due to too much lessons which I did not needed I left.

2004 - I went to Delft to study Industrial Design at Mon3aan, where I learned problem solving, product design and materials. Studied 2 years before I heard the diploma was for mechanical engineering instead of Industrial Design.

2006 - I found out Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam got a new study direction for Packaging Design and went to study there. This year they improved with much better lesson programs.

2007 - In the summer I joined Design Contest.net and soon became one of the Design Team Members. At Design Contest I could compete with the contests to test my own designing abilities and learn to improve my skills in designing. Also soon won in a contest to design a t-shirt for NFME F-Body Event in Memphis 2008. I also started this blog at the same time when I joined the Design Contest.

2008 - Started well and I won a logo contest directly and it was also my first time I won in a logo contest. The logo is for CircleOfArtists.com and also for Kings Poker.
Also I've been approached by Good Web Practise to design a new logo for their website.

After publishing a post of a bottle prototype I've made with using sliceform technique, I've been contacted by Computer Arts to make a tutorial about it for the special Packaging Design edition.

In the spring I had contact with a friend of mine Arkady from the GP500store days , who actually does game textures for a game called MotoGP08 and ask me if I wanted to join his team. I first gone into a test and actually passed it and also did it well with the needed time. Then I got the job to do the low helmet resolutions textures of the game for the Wii and Playstation 2. I textures allot of the riders from fairly unknown one to the top rider like Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa and more.

Begin summer started my own design company Chung Dha and officially registered it as a company. Had a summer internship at Jackson Chang in Den Hague.

End of the summer I became a moderator at Design Contest.

In the winter joined a major packaging design contest held by one of Europes biggest packaging company SCA packaging. Only 90 entrees were submitted from all across the world, and in februari of 2009 a shortlist of 5 designers will be choosen to get 2 more weeks to improve his design in a workshop within the design centre of SCA packaging.

2009 - Embarked on a new journey on the opposite side of the world and moved to Hong Kong to have a better environment for my health and also to be able to design for Asian companies.

Came to Hong Kong and met up with allot of artist and designers. In May went to Speak Up and met Alan Leung and became friends and later worked on a toy together. However during the brainstorm and sketch sessions I accidentally made Dai Fu Lou. Now started a brand named Dai Fu Lou and start building up this brand with different products.
And who knows what the future beholds, but I am sure I will be very busy doing allot of designs.
