The L-oh-rama

Have you ever heard a song that it instantly gives you an inspiration ? When the first time I heard the song by Kitten - Kill The Light, it kinda transported me into another place (nope, I wasn't high or anything, maybe it was too many vitamin c), where the walls are made of exposed bricks, with very raw feeling about the place. I tried to find some photos from Google but couldn't find anything close. 

So the only way to get the exact place that I "visited" would be to model it myself. Using Google Sketchup, I built the model. Extra such as crowds, tables and chairs were downloaded from 3D Warehouse. 



The 3Ds file were then exported to Capture Polar lighting visualization suite. This is where the fun begins, programming on the Chamsys with Capture Polar. 



For screen recording, Camstudio was used. Final video editing was done on Trakax. 

Here is the complete equipments used for the lighting and truss : 



Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy creating it ! 

Yes, that's not a typo. Worlay, which is Work + Play. Which is what I did (working and playing, and inventing the word "Worlay"). In Jakarta. It's ingenious. So now when people ask me what I did in Jakarta, I'll just reply them "I went there for worlay."


The thing with flying with a foreign airline is that you usually do not know their histories. And the worst possible way to start your worlay trip is by checking the  history of the airline you are flying including their accident histories. 


Thank God that the flight was pleasant with very less turbulence and smooth landing. The Indonesian counterpart was very pleasant and friendly bunch of guys, with great sense of humour too. 



I was checked into a nice boutique hotel in downtown Senayan, with the door providing direct access to the swimming pool with a jacuzzi. 



However, as per usual worlay trip, I don't get to spend much time in the hotel itself, which I think is a good thing. 


Toys, toys and toys. 

This stage setup was in Senayan Tennis Indoor Stadium for an event called Dimension Playground 5. 


Meanwhile, in outdoor, they were prepping the stage for projection mapping on the silent disco. 





That blackish-dish nearest to the camera, is a BAT meat. YES, I ate batman meat. And it's tasty. No, it doesn't taste like chicken.
