Bukit Bintang was one of the more interesting places celebrating the 2009 New Year with a countdown and fireworks. Initially, police and city hall personnel tried to restrict the sale of those party spray cans after the riotous incidents at Penang's Gurney Drive during Christmas Eve. For such an event, the crowd was uncharacteristically multi-racial, with many Middle East tourists joining the revelry as well. Apart from the street fights, reports of pick-pocketing and a woman with a bloody smashed head, things were generally peaceful :)
The footage was acquired with the Panasonic Lumix LX-3 in 24p HD and presented in 16:9 SD wide screen format. Arguably, the camera appeared to perform better in low light than the more expensive Panasonic 3MOS HDC SD100.and the Canon HF 10/11/100 series. The camera was unplugged from tripod entirely. For the overhead crowd shots, the tiny cam was mounted on a Manfrotto monopod acting as a mobile boom/jib arm. It was hanging from about 15 feet above the crowd, right down to 2 feet above ground for the low angle shots. The street level shots were captured with a Modosteady stabilization system attached to my chest. A clear Cokin P-size square filter was mounted in front of the wide angle lens for easy wiping when spray-attacked by the mob.

Playback Help: Mycen Videos are mostly presented in high quality widescreen 16:9 standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD), both in hi-fi stereo. By default, the embedded player here loads a standard quality 360p or 480p resolution to accommodate users with slower connections. To switch to higher quality and clearer playback, select the 720p or 1080p option (if available) on the bottom right of the player after pressing play. The transition to HQ or HD may take a few seconds. If things get stuck, just reload the page and try again.
Playing HD or HQ requires a reasonably fast internet connection and reasonably competent hardware for smooth playback. Firstly, let the player's pink loading line fill completely. If the video is still jerky when you replay after that, try closing other programs on your computer to free up resources. Even then, heavy Internet traffic during peak hours might still slow down some connections. If all else fails, simply revert to normal quality playback by clicking on the same button again.
In order to watch HD smoothly, you ought to have a newer version of Adobe Flash plug-in installed on your browser. Go here to download the latest version if your browser is not doing it automatically. Enjoy! |
