Calling all animators, game developers, and directors
Hey everyone, I’m looking to do some sound design or soundtrack work. I want to expand my portfolio and modernize it a bit. So if you’re an animator, a game developer, or have a short film/video you need scored, I would love to partner with you on your project. If you aren’t either of those [...]
Worldwide first review of the Vestax Spin
I know, I know. I was supposed to post all my pictures from Japan. Honestly though, there’s just so many that I’ve put it off. Anyways, since I’ve been back, I bought a Vestax Spin DJ controller to play around with and review. For those of you who don’t know, a DJ controller is basically [...]
Lazy in Osaka
Ok, I know I haven’t been very good at updating as my trip goes. After the aquarium post, it became apparent that Rita and I were editing the same pictures, therefore duplicating the work. I decided to just let her do them because she’s better than I am at it. Here are links to her [...]
Osaka Day 3 : Whale sharks!
Day 3 was a two-fer. As it turns out, the Suntory Museum is right beside the Kaiyukan Aquarium so we hit both. Suntory had a Studio Ghibli exhibit. Studio Ghibli is like the Disney of Japan and has produced such films as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, and Ponyo. Rita was inspired by the exhibit [...]
Osaka Day 2
After sleeping almost 11 hours, Rita and I set off to explore the neighbourhood. As it was only 8am, there weren’t many places open so we decided to hit the local “Friendly”, a restaurant similar to Denny’s. Our first encounter at a restaurant in Japan wasn’t as traumatic as I thought and we were able [...]
Ohaiyo gonzaimasu!
After a 20 hour travel day, we finally arrived at our friend’s apartment here in Osaka. We are situated near Shin-Osaka which means literally “New Osaka”. It is the heart of the business district and, interestingly, our friend’s apartment was created from an old office buildling. I personally find the apartment to be cozy but [...]
Interviewed for being Chinese
Photo courtesy of Ritasmeeta Yesterday I was interviewed for something I never thought I’d be interviewed for: being Chinese. I had applied to host a documentary on Canada’s Chinatowns but, by the time I applied, the host had already been cast. So instead, I got to be interviewed for it. We filmed in the park [...]
Meli + Chris’ wedding = awesome
Rita and I were both in the bridal party for our best friends Meli and Chris. Pretty crazy event. Started at around 11am when Jono and I picked up the Subarus that had been kindly donated for the day by the local Subaru dealership that Chris and Meli’s families had bought a half a dozen [...]
FS : 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder (MR-S)
Hey everyone. The time has come for me to sell my MR2 Spyder. My job situation is pretty unstable right now, so I need to get rid of my debt. Consequently, I’m selling my 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder. Yes, the MR2 Spyder…the one I had wanted ever since it was still in concept car stage, [...]
Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays! We got the most snow that we’ve had here since 1969, and just when I get a convertible…awesome! My car got stuck in the snow for the 3rd time, so I left it for a few days parked by the side of the road. When I came to dig it out, there was [...]
Leaps and Bounds soundtrack released for free
A few weeks ago, I hit the 150 consecutive daily post milestone on Key of Grey. I’ve posted every day for almost half a year now and I thought I’d celebrate by providing the entire soundtrack for “Leaps and Bounds” for free download. You can download all 27 songs, including some that weren’t used, at [...]
VAFF 2008
This weekend I’ve been covering the Vancouver Asian Film Festival for Schema Magazine. I’ve seen 18 films and covered the opening gala. Tomorrow I will cover another film and the closing party. It’s tiring but the Q&A sessions after the films have been enlightening. Not only can I take ideas from the filmmakers and relate [...]
Sean Yee dot com : Relaunched!
Hey everyone! Although my last site was heavily flash based and included awesome animation as well as PHP trickery, it was not suitable for my needs and was difficult to update. This website has been relaunched on the WordPress platform which I also use for my other website, Key of Grey. Hopefully the simplicity of [...]
