This was my third time attending the Pai Ti Gong celebration (拜天公) at Chew Jetty, Pengkalan Weld, Georgetown, Penang.
After parking my car at the public open car park area opposite the 1st Avenue Mall, I walked to the location.
I arrived around 7:30 pm and began walking and filming along the way.
Since this wasn't my first time attending this annual celebration event, I had a rough idea of the agenda and expected performances for the whole night.
Overall, filming this event wasn't easy due to the large crowd; it was difficult to move along the road.
I had to use the opposite side of the road to pass through to reach the other side of Chew Jetty, as it was extremely crowded and challenging to walk through.
One thing I noticed was the abundance and duration of the fireworks.
They lasted much longer than expected, allowing ample time to capture photos and videos throughout the fireworks performance.
A tip for those planning to attend next year: bring a change of clothes, as you'll likely sweat a lot.
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing to help stay cool.

If you love【Super Mario Party】, definitely consider purchasing to get another pair of joy con at a cheaper price for this bundle. ?
Of course I know actually can buy the joycon cover and change to whatever colour combination I like.
The best moment is 4 persons can play a game in single console. ? The total 80 mini games are the highlight of this game which is fun, entertain and short. This mean everyone able to play multiple games at the short amount of time.
To be honest, the Party Mode really boring. Why? This is because I am playing alone with the bot in console. Which I unable to skip and need to wait for my turn. Usually I will do something else while playing the party mode. You still need to play the mode in order to unlock all the mini games.
Next time when you want to buy any game, spent some time check that game able to support multiplayer or not. If yes, I think that game is the best selection where 4 person can simultaneously gaming together in one screen.
Not to forget mention about Brawlhalla, a free to play game for Nintendo Switch as well. The concept of the game basically is same like Super Smash Bro. Ultimate for the fighting genre game.
My friend had tried connect 4 pairs of joycon into 1 console with no issue. However, the 5th connected joy con will have delay for the gaming experience. So, 4 pairs are the good choice.

Here is what you can see at the KOMTAR bus terminal station in Penang.
Senior citizens, beggars and foreign workers mostly occupied the location. The whole gang of beggars can consider almost permanently stationed there because they can receive free food and drinks from various communities.
Their presence makes the location less safe and you will always need to stay cautious when near to them.

I reached Esplanade quite early so able to film before the bad weather come. The moment I feel a bit of rain pouring, I decided to walk back to my car and leave the field.
For those who wonder why the video didn't have other interesting performances, here is the reason:
"Due to the unfavourable weather condition and to ensure public safety, ?????????? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ??????????? will be ?????????." ?

All the in-camera video transition just using the movement and combining with editing. Absolutely no need to use any video transition in video software.
Do plan and remember the direction you wish to pan, whip, spin, tilt or rotate. The same direction can make the transition become more natural and looks like seamlessly join together for 2 clips.
【Tips #1 - Motion Blur】
The main thing I learned is the motion blur is the most important. Make sure you following the 180 degree rules to achieve the most natural motion blur.
If using higher shutter speed, the motion blur might be too "jelly" and the rolling shutter is very obvious.
【Tips #2】Sound Effect
To make the video transition more interesting, remember to add sound effect as well. The " whoosh" sound effect at the middle of transition can create better effect.
【Tips #3】Planning
Yup, planing is everything. Remember to make a storyline or prepare the sequence before recording those video transition. Actually, I write a long list in a paper and just follow the sequence.
To achieve the better motion blur or transition, I suggest you should record few times so you can choose during post editing.
【Tips #4】Manual Setting & AFL
Since most of the in-camera transition involved high speed, if you set the camera record in auto/P mode, the exposure or shutter speed might change automatically.
This will create some "glitch" at the middle of transition between 2 clips because it's not the same.
Not to forget the focusing issues as well. I recommend should focus then look the focus before hit the record button. Of course, manual focus is even better to have the perfect focus footage.
