In My Life is my most favorite Beatle’s song … and everytime in hotel when I see the following TV advertisement (of a real estate development company) on CNN channel, I will stop everything I am doing and watch it … In fact, many times, it’s the only “entertainment” I have during business trips.
The beautiful voice is from famous actor Sean Connery, what a loving and engaging voice … and here is the full version of his voice over advertisement with some pictures.
Touching …
Well, actually I am not sure whether this video is made by the E-P1 or not, but this video is made for the E-P1. The producer took 60,000 photos and then print out 9,600 of them to make this video. Awesome !!
What is really a deadline ?
In the words of a design student, Bang-yao Liu, of Savannah College of Art and Design …
Every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline.
So he made a brilliant video about deadline with, believe it or not … 6,000+ Post-it notes. Enjoy !!
Curious about how he made this video ? Check it out.
BGT 就是 “Britain’s Got Talent”，一個甚受歡迎的英國節目。節目每集都由不同的歌手，音樂人，舞藝者競逐，而每季都能夠由有份量的表現者勝出。以前就有 Paul Potts，George Sampson 等等。
最新 2009 季度已經去到第四周，每星期都有驚喜，包括 Susan Boyle, Shaheen Jafargholi, Andrew Johnston。而第四周最好的比賽者應該係 Jamie Pugh。他唱得真的，真的很動人。。
令我奇怪的是這一些歌手的背景。Susan Boyle 是無業的（她全心照顧她的母親），而 Jamie Pugh 則是當日間司機，晚間送 Pizza。但是他們都選擇了著名音樂劇 Les Misérables 的歌 – 分別是 I dreamed a dream 及 Bring him home。從這一點可以了解到在英國每一個階層對音樂，藝術的投入及喜愛。
試想想，在香港有幾多人可以唱出一段經典音樂劇及粵劇？又有多少人欣賞舞台劇，舞蹈，音樂劇及粵劇？即使有很多擁躉，但是新一代都可能只活在 Internet，YouTube 裡。
但是政府即將投資二百億入西九龍計劃，會成功嗎？藝術修養真的可以人功建立的嗎？
看著電視重覆又重覆的流感新聞實在有點累。
唯有按下電視的 Mute 鍵，再聽聽 Air on the G String。啊，竟然音樂好夾電視上的畫面。
聽完這一首經典音樂，一定要聽這一首英文歌 – “The Whiter Shade of Pale”。襯到絕。
