    Fir35t0rm got a reaction from GuerrierPoilu in I've made a montage video for a LAN party, rate my work!   
    I'm not 100% sure if I'm allowed to post here so if any of the mods have any concerns, feel free to do as you wish.
     
    For the past couple of years, I've been involved as a volunteer doing media work for Redflag Lan Fest. It's undeniably now Australia's largest running LAN party hosting a quarterly event for over 700 attendees at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. I can say the atmosphere of the event itself is jaw-dropping, and I wanted to try and capture that essence on every event, hence for the past several events, I've made these montages. The video is posted on our Facebook page which you can find it below:
     
    I have to admit, I really do enjoy making videos and part of that inspiration was from the LinusMediaGroup team so cheers for that!
     
    Video footage was captured with two Nikon DSLRs - D7200, D5200
    Timelapse was made using a Sony FDR-X1000V Action Cam.
    Lenses I've used was a Nikkor 50mm f1.8, Nikkor 20mm F2.8 and a Nikkor 18-80mm F2.8-4
    Other equipment including Tripods + Dolly, shoulder mount + viewfinder, LED on-camera lights and external mic.
    Sony Vegas Pro 13 was used for editing
    Adobe Photoshop CC for graphics stuff

    P.S. I hope there some Aussies here!

    Anyone worked on their cars over the weekend?
     
    I wanted to keep my installs as discreet as possible and with a suggestion of a workmate, I've installed a set of LED spotlights (or spotties...whatever I'm Australian  ) down in the lower grille. Took a lot longer since the I had to rewire the whole wiring kit with the set and work out to fit the lights with whatever I had at home.
     
    Probably need a small bar across for extra reinforcement but I'm quite pleased of the result

    Its not night time here yet but I'll post some updates soon.

    Well I thought that this nightmare could not get any worse but I was wrong....very wrong. Here's a snippet from the news story:
    However, the Labor Party has received 60 complaints from early adopters of the Governments's preferred Fibre to the Node NBN rollout model that they were receiving a poor service and they would prefer to have their original broadband back, one example below:
    As an Australian, I'm am quite furious to see not only the Fibre to the Node still uses the ageing and fragile copper wire but the fact that people are complaining that their download speeds can degrade to much worse than if they were still using ADSL2 during peak traffic while being a complete blow-out of an 'infrastructure upgrade'.  Looks like at this rate our broadband network is going to be left behind in measures unseen before and giving the amount that has been blown out, it would be at least years before we would have some kind of chance to meet standards with the rest of the world.

    Putting my S13 off the road for a while, finally doing a few upgrades to it.
     


    Will be throwing in a t28 turbo from a S15, R33 lsd diff, set of coilovers and a bunch of small things that will help it run happy.

    Not after tons of power but still gotta be fun to flick it around

    Aussie person here...
     
    ...only bought this thing about a month ago, waited for 2 months getting it on a boat from Japan and to get it all registered and road worthy.
     
    It's a 2004 Nissan Stagea 350RX Four. Based on the same platform as the 350z, this has a VQ35DE with a 5-speed auto (sorry these models never came with a manual) either on RWD or AWD. This one's a AWD. 
     
    So current plans for this? New stereo setup (factory japanese radio band only covers half of the stations in Aust. YAY!), 18" rims, slightly lowered springs (about 20mm) and a v36 OEM exhaust with high-flow cats.
