So far so good

There are quite a lot of comments from around the globe. We finally feel like under the Earth, not in Asia. One planet, one sky, one Sun. After all, we are all humans.

We are still figuring out technical problems on how it can broadcast live. There are quite a few ways to solve this, mobile, wap, 3G, camstream, many ways. But it may take a while to achieve.

All we need right now is just your supports. Just tell us you think it is interesting or even tell us you will be joining once the technical side has been sorted out. We are also trying to collect pictures, clips of sunrises or even your own photos. We will show them in our website. Simply dropping us a comment, or critique, or suggestions are also very welcome.

KEEP OUR MOMENTUM!

Blogs who support us!!

http://advertisingetc.blogspot.com/


You are more than welcome :)

we are now inviting people to join us.
spreading news nowadays is somehow way more convenience and faster than before!
sending emails, 'invade' forums and blogs, telling our friends, facebook + myspace etc.
but the problem is, how could we make a list which can be most effective and efficient?

there are still lots of problems need to be solved.
technically (how can the whole thing works with the right web-cam, cables, laptops, broadband..blahblahblah)
network (who and how can we reach the right person?)
popularity (we're not famous people or influencers, how to build our fame?)
etc, etc.........

therefore,
shout out loud to anyone you know!

Tell them to join!
Thank you very much :)

Sunrise outdoor shooting

it was 5am, we climbed up the hill with a torch in our hands.
loads of mosquitoes bit us, spider, flies, frogs and unknown species of insects, you name it, they all came out and stayed with us -_-

but all things were worthy as we saw the sunrise eventually,
this time, from a higher view and better angle,
it was so beautiful, was very touching at that moment.
we hoped to do a better shooting in order to produce a better version of demonstration.
patience and time is needed, hopefully people would be willing to do so!

Productivity Day







After battery recharged, we 4's productivity gone back to normal. We are currently working on the web. The content and the design layout are about to finish.
It seems that we have big improvement, ain't we?





Layout 1

WE LIKE COLLAGE ~ The word is so simple and great. But we think that there are too much wording there... and the layout is so boring... it can't attract people to join right?



Layout 2

It's cool....we would like to develop this layout to make it better .. let's wait and see..

Recovery needed

have you ever work whole day after you have stayed up all night?
see the previous post, we have went to the beach for our flim shooting.
and you know it's not easy to capture the moments of sunrise.
but hey, it's really fun although we have been go through crazy dog barks,
dog shits everywhere, chilling sea breeze, sleepiness plus alcohol...and so on.
we somehow produced something cool and letting you know our effort now!



we ended up with a whole day of tiredness, were so knackered!!!
our low productivity was unprecedented...
was fucked up whenever we try to approach foreign forums or blogs,
argghh......LANGUAGE!
French, Greece, Dutch, Thai....you name it, but we can only handle English or Chinese!

when we use the computer programme to study different sunrises in places all over the world, the result told us some places may crash.
don't get what i mean?
okay, say in this way, it means even in different timezones, the sunrise time might be similar or in great difference.
so there will be more risks to finish the worldwide sunrise shooting action!!!
well, let's see...
may God be with us, finger crossed!
the show must go on.

Experiment

U know what, we four yesterday started to trial making our dream out. Though it's a small one, but the feeling is so warm… can’t even describe it by words. You never understand how we feel, if u never experience the sunrise be4. Just wonder how god creates these all wonderful scenes. So, what if the scenes never stop and let this wonderful thing keep looping again and again…

We stayed in the beach whole night, with vodka and snacks. We chat, chat about our dream, our love, our future….all sounds romantic, right? But … that’s not true! The sea breeze was fucking cold!!!!! We waited for long hours … Dogs were running and even did PEE, POO and RUN near the place we are laying!!!! But when we could see the beautiful scene, everything worth~



we are the stop motion artists :)



But, we are now damn sleepy….ZzzzZzzzZzzZzzz

pissed off day

Very moody day~

People here are crazy, doors are crazy, mobile phones are crazy!!!!!The ringtone is damn annoying!... Sigh!!!To make me even more moody... my mates never stop singing, can he or she shut his mouth up!!!!

We start to make our web site in order to call for action. But got mad for the layout and design. Dreamweaverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! May be we are greedy and not sure what we are looking for. We failed to compromise everything. Research stuff is so suck too. What the hell are u sayingggggg!!!!!" Présentez vous et posez nous vos questions, un des administrateurs ou moi même......" blabla... Language!Language!Language! Why there are so many languages? if there is only one language then it would be a better world, right!

Happy Friday, Blue Monday

We drank like a fish on Friday, still dizzling on Saturday, till today, Sunday. Rum, gin, beers, whatever you call. Relaxation should not last. We need Yiyang, I mean balance. Now, get back to work.
We have finished playing with our video. Guess what? It is something spiritual. It's about our name. Apollo. I tell you now, it's "sunrise". We listened to Norah Jone's "Sunrise", Judy's "Somewhere Over the rainbow", We watched "Before Sunset"...We are now flooded with the Sun.

The nature is divided into seasons, our place is divided into continents, and the time is divided into timezones. So we are going to focus on the time and the Sun. Touching, emotional, spiritual, inspiring, heartening, lifting you up.
Will show our efforts here later today.

Work our asses off!

we art students, wanna do something big by online art. might sounds silly but yes, everyone needs funny things, so do we.
this morning the weather is hella good, which means no rain! yay!
coz we're like getting so wet even going out for lunch yesterday. umbrella, such a great invention.

when somebody wanna work on great projects (it means us). a nice venue should be chosen to work our asses off. so we have found a bloody tiny room somewhere out there. how cool is this!

had came up with couple of new thoughts yesterday, which we needa do loads of experiments. bet this is something interesting but pretty challenging...
after a day of failures and trials, our passion lasts till today so we gotta sort it out!

when we're working on our so called 'experiments', who could give a hand?
guess what? printer and the man who is in charged of it.
here the problem came, the printer ain't connected to our computers. where on earth we can print our bloody hell stuff?
this man came really late but things finally sorted out.







it's been a tough day, we worked non-stop on our video shooting.
this video should be ace, we have done different versions but now remain secret.
when we once think it's perfect, it will uploaded and people will see what we have done :)

that's it for today. friday night...let's get drunk!
