My First Short Film - A Nikalo Film

Anticipation from my last post, here is the video you've all been waiting for...A Glimpse of Maleena's Day.

What is it about?

It's about a little girl named Maleena discovering all the little things around herself in a clothing and tailor shop.  She plays with a little black string doll, swinging it back and forth until boredom befalls her.  On to the next adventure, she moves out from back room to the front of the shop.

She strolls through the Clothes Forest but falls down along the way.  She quickly recovers on both feet and continues on her journey.  A colorful car appears before her, but she doesn't know how to play with it and continues without another glance.

Maleena hears noises from the bustling atmosphere on the other side of the glass door.  She wants to escape and play with the real cars, people, and plants.  Her fists bang on the door, but she cannot open the door.

Sadness fills her, and she cannot do anything but witness with her eyes of the busy and lively area of the plaza.  Although, there is sadness in her heart, she moves on quickly,

Clothes!  A girl cannot resist the luxury to shop for something she desires.  Maleena knows the trick to her yearning heart to happiness.  She becomes determined to find the right outfit for herself.


Please enjoy this simple short film made by me.

My New MacBook Pro with Retina Display

I got my new MacBook Pro on 08.20.12!  I've been wanting one for the longest time and finally felt that I needed to get one.  When you get that feeling that it's right, I think you should go with your intuition.  Most of the time (Mostly ALL of the time), it is right.  My MacBook Pro feels right.

Here's some pics when I received it:

As you can see from the pictures, I got blue silicone case for my MacBook Pro. It's so cool...!  My MacBook Pro has covered itself in this blue plastic silicone, since I've unwrapped it.  I didn't want it to get scratched up.

I bought this MacBook Pro for mostly video and picture editing, so the first software I purchased when I opened it up was Final Cut Pro X.  I love it!  I still haven't figured out all of what it can do, but I think eventually I will.  I have lots of videos and pictures to play with.

My next project is to buy a really great HD camera that is reasonably priced for its quality.  I haven't found one that I liked yet.  For now, my plan is to get one sometime in the near future.  Perhaps next year...?

The first film created with Final Cut Pro X is a simple short film I made on 08.21.12.  It's called, A Glimpse of Maleena's Day.  Please look for it very soon!

Until next time, I'm out!
