The first episode of the Ninja Report is now out! Took me a while to piece everything together as I am a total video editing noob!
In this episode we talked about:
Do check out the video and let us know what you think about it!
About a couple of months ago, Nick asked me if the RedNinja group would want to host a photography vodcast where it will cover local photography news, interviews, tips and just cocking about (okay, the cocking about bit was my idea into the whole mix). It took a small idea which formed in Nick’s head and after a couple of months of really cocking about (that means not doing anything), we finally sat down, discussed some ideas and voila, episode #0 of the Ninja Report is now out and available.
Check it out below.
In this episode, me and Nick introduce what the Ninja Report is about and we also included in an interview with the core team of WPPM. Note that the double chin was added into the video purposely and that it does not represent the true me! 
Apparently some guy said to blame it on the lighting but since I was the one who set up the light, I guess I can only blame myself, haha!
I would like to thank the folks over at Satoo.tv for hosting this videos as well as the other episodes to come! Satoo.tv is a great place for us Malaysians to share some of our local content on local servers so that we view it super blazingly fast!

Final Update
At the end of the session, everyone just stayed back and chit chatted about various areas as well as catch up with one another. Tune in to RedNinja.tv to find out more about upcoming events!
Update #3
After the sharing session, the panel then went through various business cards that were submitted earlier for critique and there were plenty of learnings that I personally gained through this session. A lot of them have to do with a sense of purpose why a design is in the card and even the fonts used and the spacing between the fonts would then make sense. Definitely a real eye-opener to me, especially one who has zero design background.
Update #2
Jon and Grace are sharing about how they have recently undergone a rebranding with their own personal businesses lately. Both of them went through a big change in terms of how they branded their own personal businesses and also how they started off with a single focus and focused on that starting with their business cards and websites.
Update #1
I am blogging live now from Integricity’s office at Centerpoint, Bandar Utama on the RedNinja.tv’s event called “First Impressions: The Art of Business Card Design“. At the moment we have Shirley and her husband together with Kris Wong from “That Special Occasion” and “Weddings Malaysia” as well as designer Mike Lian from Integricity sitting at the panel sharing about business card designs.
There is a big group of photographers and none photographers here at the event.
Yes I didn’t manage to squeeze in a blog post last week. Why? Mainly I was busy with work, late teleconferences as well as preparing with the RedNinja.tv gang for the got Mojo? seminar and camp over the weekend. Definitely had an amazing time with the participants and all of the great fun and sharing that we had. Totally sapped all of my energy from me until I got sick on Monday when I returned to work.
It was such an honour to have Wiki and Ilona over as the main speakers and I am very sure that the participants had an equally fantastic time as well. Just search for the #gotMojo on Twitter and you will see their responses 
Anyway, since a post should not have no images on it, I am going to post some shots which I took over the weekend.
I also liked this shot which Grace shot of me. She said I was doing the macarena which I don’t recall that.
Big credits goes to:
Models: Rachel & Ser Young
Make Up & Hair: Shinny Ong (her work is amazing, just look at the models!)
Gowns by: Pretty In White (Pretty in White was one of our sponsors as well)
Couldn’t have done it without them

I guess my blog has been reduced to about 1-2 posts a week and most of the time its just 1 post but that is because I have been quite busy at work, multiple projects and activities to run and also weekend shoots but now I am glad to introduce to everyone, RedNinja.tv! In late 2009, when the stars and planets aligned in perfect harmony, it was then that 5 young and enterprising individuals banded together to discuss a common idea that had been brewing in their minds. The rough and sketchy idea was to bring quality, fun training camps and workshops to Asia.
After all, why should all the quality programmes by held in the US or Australia?
As the idea was birthed over various meals (we are very much Asian-foodies at heart!), it was decided that the training would focus on three areas: creativity, technology and business. With that, we began brainstorming on a name and late one night, RedNinja.tv was born.
And by we, I mean Alex Lam, Grace Tan, Jenny Sun, Jon Low and me with Mun Tzin helping us in the background.
Our first event that we are organising is not one but two events, the got Mojo? Seminar (23rd April 2010) and the got Mojo? Camp (24th and 25th April 2010). The got Mojo? camp is a highly experiential and fun weekend away at Port Dickson. It is a 2-day retreat for intermediate, semi-professional and professional photographers. The camp combines two vital elements that every photographer must master: the ability to identify their style and also the secrets of marketing your business successfully. The anchor speaker is Wiki Lee who is a famous wedding photographer from Australia.
Here are some examples of Wiki’s work.
So head over to RedNinja.tv to sign up and register for either the seminar or the camp or even better, both!
Stay tuned for more updates!
