My hobbies span over a range of visual horizons and I enjoy not just shooting video, producing, directing and editing – my passion also lies very strongly in shooting stills, music and teaching. The extensive knowledge I have gained all these years being comes from being in the industry and also specializing in the sale and recommendation of a wide array of video related products.

My expertise with the NLE arena dates back all the way to the mid nineties. Specializing in the integration of turnkey systems as well as sales or many NLE products, I was very active with products such as the Pinnacle Pro One, DV500, Matrox 2000, Mpegator, Canopus Storm, Broadway Card, Targa and even such products as Topaz & Elastic Reality.

I am simply crazy and bonkers when it comes to technology and this is the continuous energy that drive this madness I possess in video cameras, video productions gadgetries as well as shooting short films and documentaries.

In the last decade or so, I have personally owned no less than 60 video camcorders as well as no less than 40 digital cameras ranging from professional, semi professional as well as those in the consumer range. Some cameras, I would only purchase, test, review and sell within the very same week just to get personal feel and knowledge of the equipment.

The EAGLE has landed! Douglas Spotted Eagle. My dear friend with whom I only get to touch base once a year. A true Guru of SONY Vegas Video and the one man I can proudly say I respect. A Grammy Award recipient and the composer of Voices of Native America and his works featured in movies such as the TITANIC, XFILES, STAR TREK V,UNDER SIEGE, WOLVES,TOMB RAIDER II, LAST OF THE MOHICANS, THE LAST SAMURAI and many more under his belt.

When the new Vegas Movie Studio Platinum was lauched by SONY MEDIA, I helped to launch this product, to an astounding turnout at the ORCHARD PARADE HOTEL. This was the first time I recruited students of mine to produce a short film call "THE THIEF" for the launch of this product. The entire production was shot wihout a script and rehersal in under 5 hours. Shot entirely using only small camcorders, the crowd was delighted with the different approach adopted from the usual EXTREME SPORT FOOTAGES used in such launches.

I was invited by SONY BROADCAST to the Hilton Hotel Singapore for the Official Launch of the Sony V1E, a revolutionary new camcorder. I gave a presentation to their invited guests on my user experience on High Definition Video and also the new SONY V1E and also the DR-60 HDD recording module. Without a script nor a prepared presentation, I delivered my presentation with an honest but true account about my experience with HDV. At the same time, I presented a short clip for the audience entitled " HDV Kill" shot by the SONY V1 which ended in the demise of the SONY FX1. Above is a photograph of me enjoying a little chat with General Manager of SONY Broadcast, Mr Nagase.
