I made a parody TV advertisement commercial for Pentax DSLR cameras. Why? I thought up the idea a few days ago and though it would be fun to make. Titled: “PENTAX CM もじり ペンタックス・コマーシャル” Check it out on Youtube ( watch it in 720p ): 冗談、けどPENTAXは素敵なカメラ物ですね。　www ビデオの日本語が悪い、ごめんなさい。 This is a parody video “CM” commercial with Pentax as the subject. My initial idea was a lot more involved, but this idea came after and was a lot more manageable yet accomplished the same thing for the most part.

Sorry! I’ve been cleaning up the site and noticed this dead video link. Another interesting thing about how things change is that Lok and Kai eventually left Digital Rev. They started their own Youtube channels and appear to have found some success. Especially Kai with a large su

In case you haven’t heard of the term, A photo bomb happens when someone in the background intentionally looks at the camera, or even makes a funny face to seemingly ruin a photograph. In my mind I think they are pretty amusing and the photos have a value all there own. Well, that is of course all within reason. Too much or not going away, so I can eventually get a quality shot of my subject is irritating. Below I’ll show you the best bombers I had for this years Anime Central convention. This guy knows how to photo bomb. He first started with a peace sign, but then moved up to a full face bomb. The reason he was successful was because he was close enough to the subject that his features were not obscured in blur. I think it was one of Batman’s friends… The next guy gave a great effort, so much so that I got irritated after a while and said “Dude, please!” He promptly left after that. Stick to your guns, but make it short and sweet. The photo bomb wasn’t successful because he was maki
