5 Reasons Why You Should Watch Disney's Tangled

Posted by Kristan Sunday, February 6, 2011 View Comments

Disney's Tangled - a classic tale of Rapunzel with a twist of spices (you know what I mean). Imagine, it was like Shrek + classic Rapunzel + Robin Hood = Tangled.

I was given the opportunity to watch Tangled although it's quite late.

I must say that Tangled became one of my favorites 3d animation of Disney. We all know that it's an old Rapunzel-like approach, but guess what? Flynn Ryder - Rapunzel's love interest, and what Disney really wanted you to know, is the major "new" in the film.
“Tangled” jumps off with the classic story of Rapunzel – a princess whose mother nearly died during pregnancy. She is healed by a magical plant, stolen from the evil Gothel, who has been using the plant as a fountain of youth, of sorts. The child – Rapunzel – is born healthy, and the healing powers have been transferred from the plant to the baby. Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel, raising her as her own daughter locked in a tower.
The major twist picks up when Rapunzel finally decided to ask her "mother" to go out in the real word just to witness the "lights" coming out from the palace during her birthday (held every year in her honor). I wouldn't spoil it to you dear readers, so it starts there, and just before you know, Flynn Ryder is already in the scene - with Rapunzel.

I can give you 5 major reasons why you should watch this film:

1.) It's a DISNEY - of course, it's Disney's trademark to impress people with its animated films. Anything larger than that? It's Disney! Anything Disney is just like anything delicious.

2.) A classic tale with a major twist - like I said, the film was like Shrek with a hint of Robin Hood plus the major spices of Rapunzel. Seriously, Flynn Ryder, being a thief (im afraid I spoiled it), reminds me of the Robin Hood catch-me-if-you-can scene. Why i'd say Shrek? C'mon, it's a magical world - this includes the rivalry of Maximus (the genius horse who acts like a dog) and Flynn Ryder who later became friends in the film, just like Donkey and Shrek.

3.) Musical! Really really musical - Would you freak out? Plainly, no. I mean, there's so many Disney films that are musical, but this one is quite of a modern. Songs like, "I See the Light", "When Will My Life Begin" and of course the evil "mother", Gothel, would also catch up with, "Mother Knows Best". Any reasons why you watch this film? Knowing that its musical?  In fact, the casts includes Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Zachary Levi would be Flynn Ryder and Donna Murphy for Gothel. It doesnt' bore you, it is BROADWAY WORTHY!

4.) The Major Frying Pan - Their weapon would be frying pans. Just don't ask why. Watch the movie and laugh why frying pans were the issue!

5.) For everyone - When I say, "For everyone", you know what I mean. Adults would love to laugh with their youngsters as well. Now, go now, go, go!

So, i'm done with me reasons. Would it encourage you? I just hope so. Go watch Tangled now in cinemas near you.

Beautiful iPhotos of Philippine Colors from North to South

Posted by Kristan Tuesday, February 23, 2010 View Comments

Recently, I came across Philstar's article about the beautiful and catchy iPhotos of Philippines' North to South vibrant colors. The shooters, equipped with a a photographer's arsenal, showcased the very unique sunrise, sunset, flavorful foods, and eye-catching beaches in the country.

"Makulay" is a tagalog term for "colorful". As what the article emphasized, the word "Makulay" has been the very appropriate word that could sum up all these beautiful iPhotos.

15 Brilliant Tilt Shift Photos

Posted by Kristan Sunday, January 10, 2010 View Comments

Tilt-shift shooting is one of the most interesting photography techniques wherein a life-size photograph is manipulated to give an optical illusion of a miniature scale.

Real Tilt-shift photography is all about changing the angle of the camera to give a different perspective and to make something look bigger or smaller.
There are camera lenses that specialize in tilt-shifting. If you haven't got a tilt-shift lens, one way to turn a photo into a tilt-shift shot is the use of Photoshop.

I viewed photos from Flickr and these are the 15 brilliant tilt-shift photos I choose:

1.) Toy Kuala Lumpur - Timmy Toucan

20 Amazingly Designed Album Cover

Posted by Kristan Saturday, January 9, 2010 View Comments

In designing there are a lot of things to be inspired to. One very good inspiration is music, it is the best inspiration in life. Do you agree?

For designers, scanning album covers is good way to be inspired.

I had a hard time choosing album covers that were amazingly designed. Some covers were stunningly simple, while some were beautifully designed with grungy looks and scribbles. These 20 stunning album cover I got were based from my perceptions on each album's concept. So here's my list:
