Hello, everybody. Thank you for joining. I'm super excited to be here. My name is Lonon of it This is not my first time on false them, but I'm in love in false them. So every time I'm on stage it falls them I'm super super excited First of all, thank you very much to Philip who has been running the embedded dev room for 15 years in a row There was a gap last year and now thanks to this wonderful team Thanks to which we have the embedded dev room again. They're a great team and they deserve it So my name is Lonon of it. I'm working for a Consolidancy company called consulco group the company specialized in embedded development in various open source software and today I'll be showing you some of the technologies that I Use in my everyday work like the yokto project and open embedded to build a maker's project and this project is home bridge This is the agenda for today. I have the ambitious goal to Go through 30 slides in approximately 20 to 23 minutes. I have a few minutes for questions We'll see if it work out or maybe not First we're gonna talk about home bridge Home bridge is an open source software that enables various third-party devices to Apple home kit How many of you are using iPhone Apple iPhone? I'm not using an iPhone. That's why I'm not raising my hand. All right Just a few of you don't worry guys The focus is actually on the open source side of things and building a custom new Linux distribution that incorporates home bridge Using the yokto project and open embedded We'll explore certain features of the distribution that I built a Lot of ideas for improvements because this is a hobby project that I have been doing in the past few months And there is a room for a lot of improvements and finally there will be some conclusions so Why why I'm doing this obviously the first answer to anyone on stage at Fosnum is that we're doing these things because Because we can and because it's cool and it's open source However, the story in this case has another aspect I have a very good friend from high school who is an electrical engineer and as part of his job He did a very complex setup with very expensive proprietary tool for a customer of his And the customer asked him hey, can I do this and that from From my iPhone and the answer was that actually this expensive proprietary tool at that moment according to my friend was not able to do it So he called me for help to do something with free and open-source software Which is obviously better in this case and the answer was home bridge That's how we started He bought a Raspberry Pi of course. This is one of my favorite single-bore computers and And He asked me at his office at night to set it up We spent a couple of hours to install Raspbian to enable and everything on Raspbian Raspbian is I'm sure you know This is the default Linux distribution recommended by the Raspberry Pi foundation after that we've installed no GS home bridge or plug-in. So all dependencies so Honestly, this is a little bit annoying in time-consuming process it's pretty much going through a list of steps that you install things and you are spending some time just Waiting for the downloads and the installation to complete and For me, it's a little bit annoying, but for non user non Linux users. It could be even a little bit tricky so After doing this I proposed. Hey, let's do Distribution that kind of works out of the box or at least try to make it work out of the box I wanted to to have something similar for other Complimentary open-source project that I for home automation that I wanted to run at home. I Have numerous years of professional experience at consulco group working with the yachter project and open embedded So this was my choice to build distribution so In this case, I wanted to test the yachter project and open embedded in the aspect of a maker A few few words about home bridge. It's a lightweight server that emulates Apple iOS Homekit API it's written in Node.js and it supports numerous plugins with this plugins You can attach various third-party Devices Internet of Things or your do-it-yourself devices that are not officially supported by Apple Nowadays the Apple ecosystem is becoming more open. However, home bridge has been a while for a For several years. It can be installed by macOS Windows and of course glue Linux distributions in our case. We're gonna build a custom glue Linux distribution It's entirely open source. It's available at github and Our Apache license and this is the web page of home bridge where you can get started Over these years home bridge has Has established a huge community it was started by Nick Farina who is based in the US. I have never Personally met this developer, but he seems extremely skillful and very helpful. He's in Twitter So we can find him follow him and say thanks for this great project that he has done there are thousands of plugins developed by various contributors and and There are a lot of contributors to the core home bridge Node.js implementation and This is based on the work of a lot of people through the years This is a short list of some of the home bridge plugins, which I think are useful to to have of course each plugin depends on the type of device that you have and The way you want to set it up this is very user-friendly plug-in because this is a web interface which allows you to modify home bridge from your web browser and This is just the list of List of other plugins. I'm listing in QtD here because in our Linux distribution that we're gonna build I've included an in QtD broker So Let's build an embedded Linux distribution how to do it. How many of you have built a Linux distribution from scratch? All right, that's fantastic Pretty much the whole room There's a lot of different ways how to approach this One of the ways is the yokto project and open embedded which I'll be using For the rest of the slides here, of course other popular projects are build route PDX that's which is having a talk later on today open WRT, which is more for Wi-Fi routers, but can be used for other projects as well and the most popular in my opinion maker approach is to grab a Debian derivative and to you know change the root FS. This is a fast way to do it. However, it has some disadvantages and Chris who's over there had an excellent talk that I would like to recommend you It was for at the embedded Linux conference in Leon He was comparing what are the advantages and the disadvantages when you proceed with the yokto project or use a Debian distribution so What to include in our distribution? When you start building an embedded Linux distribution you need a board support package in general the board support package As the name suggests is provided by the vendor the people that are Manufacturing the boards. However, in reality, it's not always like this But often there are community supported board support packages that are pretty good The board support package includes a bootloader for example you boot a Linux kernel device tree drivers After Having the BSP ready. We need an init system system the was my choice I personally like it. I know that a lot of people don't like it, but yeah, that's my choice We we needed something to for connectivity and Interfacing the board one of the problems that I've experienced setting up a russ bien with my friend for a very first time is that Russ bien is not intended for the things out of the box We wanted to do so we had to go to raspy config and manually enable SSH VNC serial communication and so on and In in my distribution, I wanted everything All those interfaces to be enabled by default out of the box. We need no GS and NPM Because homebridge is written in Node.js. I Wanted to add a mosquito broker. This is for my personal use But I'm sure that a lot of you are over already familiar with the machine to machine protocol and QTD It's a really cool thing to have in anything related to home automation We needed an x11 window links. We needed a windowing system and I decided to use x11 Although I'm a huge fan of way one, but for this project. I said, okay x11 is okay I put the open box as a compositor and a few Basic applications. So even if there is a user without experiencing Linux if he starts the The distribution he has the basic things already installed there um One of the things that is interesting is the surf Web browser very minimalistic web browser that is controlled only by keyboard shortcuts and as soon as the distribution turns on Surf presents the web UI provided by the plug-in for homebridge and I wanted to add low-cost All at display for some basic information because the idea of this thing is that you're gonna use in most Of the cases the strip distribution without a proper HDMI monitor So let's get started now with the yachter project and open embedded How many of you have been using the yachter project and open embedded are and are familiar with this? All right, that's good. So now comes the really hard part yachter is great thing But it's very hard to explain the terminology without messing the words. So forgive me if I make a mistake So the yachter project is an open-source collaborative project of the linux foundation It is it is designed to build custom GNU linux distribution used in variety of industries The yachter project has chosen the open embedded build system Which includes bid-bake and open embedded core? Pocky is the reference distribution Of the yachter project it provides metadata So you don't actually start from scratch But you already have a list of recipes and layers on which you can you know have a quick start and after that You can continue customizing pocky The yachter project has releases twice per year the these are the recent releases The yachter project and open embedded have a lot of Contributors working on those project there is so there are wiki pages with a lot of information also mailing lists So for the releases the current stable release is Zeus which was released in October and In April we are expecting the nice the next release As of today It's recommended to use the latest table. That's why I've based what I do on a version 30 Zeus And if you follow the steps that you're going to see on the next slide You'll get an image based on this yachter project release in long term. I plan to keep updating the Diversions of the project and to keep up to date with the latest releases of the yachter project so In general the yachter project way of doing things is that you have various meta layers and Often when you are starting as a developer to make something you need to put a list of And to to download the list of layers after that to set up some configurations To avoid doing this over and over again. I have used the Google repo tool, which is a software tool for managing a collection of git repositories and With this command you can Get the manifest of the Of the rep or that I have created after that to run rep or sync and Using a template you can initialize the build environment The build environment setup includes BB layers file Which is a description a list of all meta layers Used for building the project and local.com is another file where you set the machine Because the yachter project and open embedded allow you with the same meta metadata and Various board support packages to have the same image built for various hardware in this case For the moment this distribution is supporting only raspberry pi by default We are building a 64-bit version of for raspberry pi 4. However, since we have the meta raspberry pi Layer included you can manually switch the machine ID To raspberry pi 3 or previous model After that you have to type in bit bake. It will take a while. So please be passionate Have some Spend some time drinking a cup of coffee or tea and in a few hours you have the image Alternatively if you don't have a Linux machine don't want to build the source from scratch Or and if you want to act like a regular user. Yes, there is a binary release in github. You can just go there download the image Flash it on a micro SD card and use it to flash it on a micro SD card The recommended way for people that are feeling more comfortable with graphical user interfaces is Balena etcher Balena etcher is free and open source software. You select the the image to drive and just flash it that that's all Alternatively for those of you who are more Who are feeling more comfortable in a Linux terminal? You can do it with DD from the Linux terminal as well So let's have a look a quick look at what's Inside the the image. This is home bridge config UI X Open in a surf web browser. I have taken these screenshots This is what you want to what you get as a user interface when you start these are QR codes Do you secure due to security reasons? I've just wiped out parts of the code? So hopefully I'm secure now but this is what it what it gonna get when you turn on the Distribution for very first time it's a web browser that shows you this this if you have an HDMI monitor attached This is what you're gonna see or if you connect via VNC you will see again this thing There are various connectivity and interfacing options enabled by default as a sage For the moment there is no password. You just log in as route and it's up to you to change the password to Something secure. There's also VNC running so you can you see you can Use VNC viewer to remotely connect to to the device and of course serial console So if you have a USB to your debug cable, you can get some output One of the things that it's really cool about home automation projects is the ability to put them in a nice case and box and this is some This is some dinner rail case. There are several dinner rail cases available for Raspberry Pi I bought both of those. I ended up using more this joy it cases. They're available as well as for Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 I designed a Raspberry Pi Hardware attached on top. This is an out on board that you plug on top of the Raspberry Pi Several years ago. I had a talk explaining how to design these these boards. It's a very straightforward process Actually, it's quite easy I'm doing it with a free and open-source software keycuts and this is open-source hardware because it's available at github Super simple board with three buttons and a few slots for attaching chi-squared C devices one of which is the display and Here is the mini display. Those are low-cost super cheap mini OLED displays that I've attached on top of the Raspberry Pi Put it in the case So if you mount this case on a dinner rail, you have some basic information like what is the IP address of this of this box and Statuses of the system the services that are more interesting home bridge and impunity. This is the impunity broker mosquito So how does it work? When you turn on the image for very first time system This service is stars a home bridge and its plug-ins open box, which is Compositor on top of X 11 stars serve This is the web browser and serve automatically what holds the web interface of the plug-in provided for home bridge Also, there is a python script which is showing information on the mini OLED display, which is attached over i-squared C These are the layers that we are using in this distribution as I told you it's based on pocky Meta Raspberry Pi is the board support package layer. Those are standard layers That you can find in every In meta open embedded like meta open embedded meta python Metagnome and meta networking when we're using recipes from all those layers That's why they're included and this is meta home bridge layer that I have created and I put there some new New recipes. This is the surf web browser. How many of you are familiar with surf? All right, it's pretty cool. Give it a try. It's just keyboard shortcuts Web browser that opens in full screen and you only have full Keyboard shortcuts pretty pretty cool and pretty convenient. So this is what you get when when it starts If you press out plus f4 it will just close and you have Open box So open box is highly configurable and very simple windowing manager for X 11 There are a few just a few configuration files and with those configuration files You can make a lot of customizations So on the next slide you see how I have customized it and what you get if you turn off surf This is this is the screen that you get in the in the distribution that I've explained you how to build As you can see, it's just a black dark screen with a few icons I believe these are the minimal viable Applications needed for even non-linux experienced user to configure home bridge and to feel comfortable with this distribution I've promised you to show you how to build home bridge with the yokto project and open embedded. This is a recipe It's a standard recipe. That's inheriting MPM So in yokto there there's There there there are a lot of classes that you can reuse this is just a cold-slipped note the whole recipe So we are inheriting MPM here This is the name of the recipe which is in green. This is the version of the recipe and After that bitbakes takes care of the rest to build it This is home bridge at MPM GS So if you if you want to install it manually, this is how to proceed for those of you who are familiar with no GS and I'm using the same URL to build it This is the home bridge system this service which takes care of Starting home bridge when the application starts. I'm not going to too much details The slides are available at slide share as well as on the Fossilum page. I'll make sure to update them right after the after this presentation so What's next? Obviously what I did for over a couple of weekends. It's not enough and there's plenty of things to be done One of the things that I would like to have is continuous integration and Support future releases of the yokto project to build a few images binary images So eventually people can start using what I have been done. I have done For the moment. There are just a few of us using it. Of course, it's a very new product I want to support more hardware platforms, especially SDM 32 MP 1 which I think is very interesting new system on a chip and Would fit well for more, you know industrial Environment where there is this and so on Raspberry Pi is not the perfect hardware for this For this environment software updates over the year either with Mender or OS 3 both have advantages and disadvantages Both are great. Actually, and this is something that is so might to do list to integrate both of those Open source software solutions support yokto project and open embedded integration of more home bridge plugins out of the box once you start this image you can Install manually various home bridge plugins. However, I would like to integrate more more of them so Hopefully you've enjoyed this talk, but even if you haven't enjoyed it. There are some benefits for the ecosystem because During the way during my work. I was able to upstream some contributions to meta open embedded which are for surf recipe as the long tray and Update mosquito and open box And at the end of this talk, I would like to share some conclusions so first of all It's something that I knew and I'm sure you also knew before the start of this talk home bridge It's a great open source platform if you are iOS Apple iOS User and want to integrate various devices With the Apple ecosystem and it's an open source solution for various third-party devices the yokto project and open embedded are a Great way to build custom embedded Linux Distributions is de facto an industry standard used in automotive in medical industries in in networking in various internet of things However, the last conclusion is about makers the yokto project and open embedded still have a steep learning curve you have to learn a lot of things to get started and When you build an image from scratch it's take a significant amount of time even if you have a powerful hardware So still for maker projects It will take some time for you to get started with the yokto project and open embedded Especially if you don't have previous knowledge, but the yokto project has wonderful documentation and I encourage you to give it a try Thank you very much And we have like one or two minutes for questions Any questions? Yeah, why should someone choose yokto over something like build route Excellent question. So I also have some upstream contributions to build route and I like build route. However, I personally use The yokto project as on a daily basis at my work at Kansuku group. So I'm feeling more comfortable with the yokto. I think Just a personal opinion. It's a very sensitive topic. I think it's more customizable and More powerful in certain ways. However, build route is a great choice as well Thank you for your talk and You said that you first did did it on Raspbian then did your Distribution using yokto and you have an estimation of how long it took you to do it on Raspbian versus How long it took to do it on yokto? All right, thank you. That's an excellent question. So The initial setup with Raspbian was a matter of like couple of hours, which included a quick crash course to my friend Who was known Linux user for my distribution? It takes a significant amount of time to build this distribution from scratch But once you have it to get started is a matter of like 15 minutes to download the image flash it and get started So from user perspective, this is a very fast way to approach because it's a distribution made for this time is up So thank you very much for joining. I hope you've enjoyed it


Hey guys, how are you today? We are here with another, the last, I shouldn't say another, my last video for my year 2017 for the year. I'm here with my December video as with last month where I only made the one video and the book review and then we did like one online chit chat. We're gonna keep it light this week too because it's a holiday this month. And right now as a filming this, I don't know what month I had. Last month I had literally I had Thanksgiving week so glad I kept it light. I probably don't have Christmas week this month but you never know and I haven't looked yet so to be honest. So we're gonna keep it really light and we're gonna do a little chit chat. This month the prompt is, wrap it up and let's celebrate. Yeah? So you can of course do this a number of different ways. You could do it literally and or think of it literally wrapping up the year. Let's celebrate our year. You could do of course the standard resolutions list. I just went through some of my Jane Davenport washi tapes and stickers and I found a few I thought were relevant that would work well. Creativity equals joy. That really for me kind of in a way sums up the year. For me that's totally true. Paint till you faint. Don't you just love that? Let's see. Trust the mess and let your imagination flow. Painting, dreaming, learning. And I'm learning to fly. So I just kept it positive. That's what I really want it. I do want to again do another like little illustration tutorial with you all this month in my signature. We're gonna do a book review list at this moment right this second. I don't know exactly which book I'm reviewing but I'll go look it look one up. And I decorated my signatures with some more of the Jane Davenport washi tapes and stickers. I put a little post-it note this things to do. You know it's December.  So I want to leave lots of blank space because there's always a ton of stuff to do and I'm gonna put a little piece of washi tape there because it's lifting. You know that's to be expected it's the holidays and there's always a bunch of stuff to do. There we go. So it doesn't hurt to have a little place to keep it track of the things you have to do. I may keep it funny and you know write funny things to do. We'll see. I don't know how it'll we'll see how the month goes but let's do maybe we should just do it right on the cover on the front. Yeah let's just do it right on the front like we did last month where we did our here's last month's where we did our pumpkin stock. Yeah so this month we're gonna celebrate we're gonna wrap up the year. Let's picture a gift. Reading glasses on. It'd be helpful. Okay let's picture a box. You remember from school when you were first learning in art class how to draw in perspective to give things sort of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape. So if it was a box that'd be one side. Let me zoom in so you can actually see what I'm doing because I think I'm a little far away. There we go. So we drew a square and if it's angled the right way then I'm not gonna see this side but I'll see this side. It's gonna be up angled up and this will be the same angle. Don't make it too long and then draw a line down and then for the top you want this angle to be at least similar to that one. As with the pumpkins just keep it loose and sketchy and that way if you get it you know a little bit off it'll be okay. Just adjust it. Go with the flow. Right now if there were a ribbon on the box it would be angled on the top and then go straight down. We'll draw another ribbon going across the top and down the side. It would appear a little bit thinner across the top and down the side because that's farther away from you. This front part is closer to you. I think I'm gonna just I'm gonna put a little dot there and a string. I'm gonna put a little tag. You could put a bow on the top. This part's the inside of the ribbon, the bow, so I'm gonna shade it and that also high disguises some of the lines. Yeah, so that's pretty good right? So I'm gonna give some you know kind of details to the ribbon. It doesn't have to be perfect guys. Just use some of your gel highlighter crayons if you have them. Something I like these because they're transparent. I'm gonna take my white gel pen first which won't show up as well on here as does on the pages that I've done in the craft card stock because this is more of a manila color but that's okay. I want to put the gel pen on first because it won't write over the gel highlighter. Now inside the box you could make a bigger box and inside the box you could write all the different things this year that you want to celebrate.  And then I'm gonna, I'm going to, I think I'm gonna do it in pink. No I just want to. And it's not about coloring the whole thing. Up here at the top man who, let's see, I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna write something. I think I'm actually gonna frame it first. Am I gonna, I think so yeah. So up here at the top we're gonna go around a couple times. Then in the corner right here so that's like a ribbon surrounding something with a bow and a give tag right? I'm gonna write art on the tag and on this tag down here I think I'm gonna write dream. So in this square up here what are the things that you want to celebrate this year? The steps forward in your life's path that you've made, the improvements that you've made in yourself, in your environment, in your health, in your management of your issues, in your whatever it is, whatever it is. Think of the positives not the negatives right? And I want you to put those in this box up here. So for me let's see connections. I'm so grateful for the connections I've made this this year. I've improved my technique on some things this year so I want to celebrate that. I think that's the right way to spell that. It might be wrong. I don't know. It's there forever now if it's wrong. Okay let's see. I want to celebrate family. Family's always important to celebrate. Love. That's also important. I want to celebrate the fact that y'all inspire me so much. Especially those of you who are dealing with serious chronic issues. Improvements is a good word. It's a good word. It covers a lot of things for me. Art, health, lots of things. I want to celebrate my life's path. I think it's a good path. I'm real happy with it. Pretty content. These are all things that apply to me. Your words might, they'll probably be a lot different. I love that. Let's celebrate the year's journey with gratitude and light. I look forward to a new adventure.  I want you all to think about just create, do some journaling, do some doodling, do some art if you will and that's what you're inspired to do in your journals over the holiday. If you have something small like this you can take it with you. You just, you really only need a couple of things, right? Have some fun with it. Express yourself. Be yourself. Be true to who you are and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year, in the new group on our new adventure. Have a happy holiday everyone. I will be back with the book review. If you're not a member of my year 2017 or the new group going forward, my creative year, they will both, the links for both are in the description below if you're watching this on YouTube along with links to every place that I am on the internet. There's a, there's a link there that says linktree slash genobiarans.  My happy mail address is down there in a bunch of stuff so check it out. Have a happy holidays and above all go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.


Welcome back everyone today. We're going to be doing a little bit more in-depth analysis of a memory image That we might not know anything about but we are going to use the tool Volatility and I'll give a link to that tool We'll use volatility for doing a little bit more analysis and volatility is a very big Framework, I'll move this over here in a second which we can get information about Basically, it's a community-built framework for doing a lot of different Tasks in a lot of different versions of for example windows and Linux and OS X We can analyze memory in-depth much much more than what we were talking about before where we were just basically looking for keywords or Extracting data structures volatility actually goes in and tries to reconstruct and parse out all of this data So they have a lot of different Functions, and it's a very large and very robust tool and is one of the best memory analysis tools that are available It also happens to be free, which is very good. So Today we're going to be using volatility some basic functions of volatility To to do some basic analysis of this exercise one raw image that we have and I'm going to run volatility I have it installed an opt volatility vol dot pi and And This is where I have installed it on my Linux workstation volatility also works for Windows OS X this is just where I installed on mine. So to first just look at what options are available We can run Python and then this vol dot pi dash H and that should show me all of the different options that are installed That I can use Okay, so these are a lot of different options that we can use here And it gives me some information on how to run it. We have to specify for example profiles and things like that So now we're going to go through and use Some of these so one of the first ones that I want to talk about is Where is it? Image info, okay, so right now we don't know anything about this memory image So we can use image info to try to get more information about this image So we can do that by essentially running Python opt. Let me clear this out so you can actually see it Python opt volatility and then we need to give it the image that we have so here Exercise one raw Okay, so here I have Python opt volatility vol which is the location of my volatility Python script Dash F tells me the file that I want to analyze and then we can just run the module that we want So here we say image info Okay, so now it's trying to go through and figure out what it can about this image Okay, so we can see a couple different things the time that the image was created the time and date the local time and date number of processes for this system and Right some of the most important things for example is this suggested profiles because we have to use a profile If we want to be able to analyze this system So it's suggesting windows 7 sp1 x64 windows 2008 Windows 2008 windows 7 Windows 2008 so we need to use one of these profiles And what we are going to choose here is just let's try the first profile If you start to get errors or you're not getting all the information that you Expect to be getting then it might be because you chose the wrong profile here, but this should give us an idea Let's just copy that and give us an idea of what's going on So suggested profiles suggest where this memory image came from which is why it's so important if you can To document What type of system your memory image is coming from so whenever we were copying memory one of where we were doing our memory Acquisitions we would name our memory image for example windows 10 pro x 64 6 gigabytes or something like that and that is for whenever we're doing more in-depth analysis, and we need to know the data structures of For example the process lists or whatever in The windows system that we're looking at and they change depending on the version of windows, okay, so now that we know the We have an idea of the suggested profile Let's say that we want to find all of the processes that were running in the system Whenever this this memory image was taken so we can do Let's go back up instead of image info. I Now need I now know the profile or I think I know the profile so we can use profile and Then equals and then I had it pasted here paste windows 7 sp1 x 64 In this case and then we can run ps list and this will give us all of the processes the process list That was available in the system at the time. So let's run that see what happens. Okay, so now we have all of these different processes That we're running in the system with their PIDs the times and everything like that so now we can see all of the different processes that we're running and Basically all the information that we would kind of expect to be able to find in a system if it were on Reconstructing this from memory. However is is quite difficult. So volatility reconstructing this really really helps us a lot We can also look for example at the different network activity So here instead of ps list we can use the command net scan Net scan. So here I have python Vault up high my file is exercise one dot raw my profile is dash dash profile windows 7x sp1 x 64 and I want to run net scan to look at current network connections network connections that were active at the time Okay, so now it's running through and I can see all of the active or basically established closed listening all the different types of network connections that are available and The process or the owner of this network connection So then we can go through and see if there's anything suspicious here We can see what websites the the the computer was connecting to if there was You know a peer-to-peer network. What was that peer-to-peer network doing if there's a virus or something like that? Are there any network connections being established from the virus? so those types of things Now we can filter this out. Notice. This is a lot of data. So let's say that we are Let's say we're specifically interested in all of the network connections that are Closed so just like we did whenever we were doing keywords basic keyword searching for for memory we can use grep and then vi and Then closed and what vi does is basically say we don't care about the the upper case or lower case so then we will Filter out vi is filter out all of the closed connections So we should just get listening and established connections from this. So we're saying I don't want I don't want to show closed and I don't care about the capitals here So all of this information should be removed. Okay So one good thing about Volatility well, there's a lot of good things But one good thing is that we can use we can pipe all of these commands into another command For example for filtering or for keyword searching or maybe we want to look for a particular process So we can we can do that quite easily. So now we have these established connections And yeah, we can look at the different connections that are being made the different ports and the processes are the owner That is running these different connections Okay, so now we'll imagine that we want to try to detect Some some potentially malicious program We would have to go through for example PS list and then maybe PS scan and some other some other Commands to and compare all of those manually to be able to see if a Virus or some malware has been trying to Hide its traces or remove itself from some of these lists. So volatility has this quite nice tool called PSX view and what this will do is go through and Essentially compare all of these different the output of all of these different commands and see whether Something has been listed or not. So in PSX view here. We have when a process was exited. So if we have for example So it shows the PID the name the offset and if we have PS list PS scan thread proc PS PC ID CS RSS and session all of these different things and what we find is If some of these are for example removed if we have PS list, it's removed But it's true in all if it's false in PS list, but it's true in all of these others. Well, this might be suspicious actually just because Why should it not show up in PS PS list but show up everywhere else we can still find it running in the system But it's kind of removed it or detached itself from PS list now We look at some of these other ones for example down here. We see false true false false false now some of these could just be have exited or Yeah, some of these just could have exited basically and in these cases we have exit times So to see true and a bunch of falses maybe that that could be a flag, but Probably not so suspicious the really really suspicious one would be where you have a Where was it you have a False and then you have a bunch of truths. So in this case, it looks like this might this This program this process actually might be trying to hide hide itself. So we can use PS PSX view To try to get a comparison of all of these different essentially process process information that volatility gives to figure out if Something is a little bit suspicious and we need to dig into it a little bit more Okay, so volatility has a lot of different options and we can't talk about all of them today but It really depends on what you're trying to do for example true crypt passphrase true crypt summary if somebody was using true crypt it will try to Extract true crypt keys from from memory shellbags can print shellbag information, which you can use to prove that a user was Accessing specific folders Let's see there's anything else here Scan for registry hives Basically dump the hives dumps passwords hashes from memory if there are Basically windows password hashes in memory it will dump those and then you can try to to crack them or break them Which might be useful for accessing other things not only the computer Dumping certifications looking at trees looking at different Connections that have been made Looking at Different command line arguments to processes extract Contents of windows clipboard which think about the things that you normally put in clipboard it might be passwords It might be credit card numbers things like that So volatility has a lot of different things. We just focused really on on looking at Process lists and connections here, but it does a lot more So that is it for today. Thank you very much You


News at Sunrise on KMEG 14. Well, they say your eyes are the window to the soul. And one technology company believes the eyes are also the most efficient way to tell if a person is lying. Reporter Gabby Hart takes a look at this new technology that claims they can see your lies. A new form of lie detection in claims, it can see the truth. There are markers in the eyes that are able to accurately determine if an individual is being deceptive. Neil Harris is the vice president of Converis, the company that created this new technology called Eye Detect. It uses only the eyes to determine if a person is lying. When a human being is being deceptive, that there are these micro dilations of the pupils. It's the extra mental energy that it takes to be deceptive. Eye Detect has been in the work since 2003, only taking 30 minutes to complete this new testing technology could be faster and more efficient than the old school polygraph. Its creators argue that Eye Detect may have the edge because it isn't influenced by any human bias. So by removing the human element, we believe we can make the assessment of credibility far more forensic in nature. Ron Slay is a security consultant who administers polygraph exams. He says in his 40 years of experience, he's seen all forms of deception. And he thinks it takes more than a computer system and answering a few questions to detect a lie. You can't automate the human mind. We wanted to put both methods to the test. So I sat down to see which machine would best read my lie. I'm in the hot seat. First, we put the standard polygraph to the test. Slay asked me two questions that were simple enough to answer honestly. No, I want everybody to watch the blue line. Is today Tuesday? Yes. But before he even finished asking me the third question. At work, did you ever look at a boss with sincere eyes when you knew the reaction is already over, but took off and it's barely coming back again? Then we tested Eye Detect. Harris had me write down a number between two and eight and then hide it. I chose the number seven. The examiner told me to lie about my number to the machine but to tell the truth on all the other questions as the Eye Detect system calibrated my eyes and then monitored my pupil dilation. I did not choose the number seven. Eight was not the number that I picked. Look at the spike on the seven. Safe to say that I got caught lying or preparing to lie on both tests. But Slay says it can sometimes be harder to catch the people you want to catch because they have their own truths. They're not really answering your questions at all. They're answering what they perceive to be your question. Slay and Harris agree that both Eye Detect and polygraphs can get it wrong sometimes. There will be some false positives and false negatives with Eye Detect as it exists today. But Harris says the beauty of computer algorithms is that they get smarter over time. I trust computers and algorithms far more than I would another human being. Still the polygraph remains a powerful detection tool not likely to be replaced anytime soon. I think it's the age old argument of man against the machine. Bigtime technology company Apple has taken notice of Eye Detect. Apple purchased the sensor technology that's used to calibrate and read the eyes. Does this mean our iPhones could eventually become handheld lie detectors? Harris says only time will tell. I'm Gabby Hart reporting. Eye Detect says they hope their new technology will have a positive impact on society and give law enforcement another tool to help achieve justice. When I look into my eyes, it would be 90 degrees today. Tell me I'm dumb. Obviously lying. All right, well, we wish.


Magandang araw sa ating lahat, isang oras naman ng makabuluhan at kawili-wiling panayam ang ihandog namin sa inyong lahat ngayong araw. Kasama ang isang premyadong production designer at director sa pelikula. Nakatala sa kasaisayan ng modernong sining ang ilan sa mga pelikulang kinabilangan niya gaya ng itanong mga sabuan, Muroami, Jose Rizal, at Kubrador. Mga pelikula kung saan ginawaran siya ng parangal sa larangan ng disen yung pamproduksyon. Kasalakuyan din siyang nagtuturo sa Departamento ng Studio Arts dito sa College of Fine Arts, U.P. de Liban. Ikinararangal natin, makasama ngayong araw, si Professor Leo Abaya. Magandang araw Leo. Magandang araw mam. Thank you for being here. So, begin mo ako ng fast run-through of your history. What was your first film? As production designer? As production, bakit? Nag-artista ka ba anak? Actually, yes. Wonderful! Well, at least early in our people. A bit role, a bit role. As art director, the first production I was involved with was a film that was never finished. It was directed by Celso Ad Castillo, the title of the project was Diary of Vietnam Rose. I was the art director and then the production designer at that time was Dante Mendoza. So, what happened? They ran out of money. So, the production stopped.  Yes, I worked again with Celso Ad. I was also art director in Dihim ng Kalapati. Pero natapos yun? Natapos po yun. So, how was the experience with Celso Ad Castillo? Celso Ad. Baptism by fire. But I learned a lot watching him. Watching him work. Watching or doing a film when there was really no script. Only notes and endless meetings. So, everything is in his mind? Yes, and it was both confusing and fascinating at the same time. But parang ano yun ni? Parang film production 101 for me. You've worked with a lot of good directors. Oh, yes. Carlitos. Carlitos yun rey na was the director of Mrs. Mo, Mrs. Ko. The first film where I shared credit as production designer. And that was the debut film of Carlitos in the Philippines anyway. And then I worked with, of course, Cittoronio. Yes. What film is this? Cittoronio. Ita nungusabuan. Oh, oh. Bakit kay tagal ang sandalit? Bakit? Kay tagal ang sandalit? Kay tagal ang sandalit. Yung dinabon ng view? Yes, yes. It was based on comics. Oh, oh. Ayano, ayun. Ah, chaka si Eddie Garcia. Eddie Garcia. And Jelly de Belen. No. Was it? No, that was the comeback film of Janice de Belen. Oh, I'm sorry. Janice de Belen. Yes, yes. That's true. And then I also worked with, of course, Marie Lu, for three films. Oh. And then, um, and Jeffrey Hitoryan. For Cobrador. For Cobrador. And then Bing Lao also. Oh. Well, tell me the significant things about these films. Let's take them, you know, isa-isa. Kasi iba-ibang situasyon na yung di ba? Yes. So, like working with Carlitos on his first film. Yeah, yeah. So parayon kayong- Oh no. That was the experience I had working with Carlitos was very different from- From- My experience from sales at Castillo. This is the North Pole and the South Pole. Ayusta ayos yung kay Carlitos? Kasi yung kay Carlitos was very- Well, the producer, the producer, well, the producer was- The Armida Sigyon Reina. Of course. So, um, it was done talagang ang standards niya is international standards, no? Um, long before Excel was there, long before all of these, um, uh, programs for production was there. I mean, she was very, very, um, much prepared and very, very well organized. Um, there was color coding in her. Oh, yeah. Yes. Um, just looking at her, this big folder, this trifold folder that she has when she opens it. Like that was kind of intimidating. But, um, that's, I think for me was very good because, uh, yung you're only always on your toes. And I always like- So, in expectations, so you don't? Yes, yes, very much. Dwa? Yeah, very much. And then, um- So, behave ka don't? I behave daman ako parati, mam. Ah, okay. Ano lang? Um, this time, um, uh, there was no room for, um, I guess for, for getting something because you're given enough time to prepare. The script is there. Uh, we had regular meetings. But what about innovations?  I use nalad. Uh, we had in fairness because the film, I started the film as our director of Charlie Arceo. Okay. And then, um, yung, the, the, the production design concept was pretty much already there. But of course, I was already part of, of it, no, as our director and then, you know, Charlie and I got to talk about it. And then halfway through the film, hindi niya matapos yung film, so I took over. Everything. Ah, yes, yes. I took over. Production designer. Yes, yes. Let's, let's go to that. Okay. Let me interrupt you at this point. Yung production design, di ba? Art director ka, et cetera. And there are many things under that. Yes. According ang, sa totoo lang, pag tinanggal mo ang production design ang pedikola. All you have are naked actors taken by the cinematographer, right? Ah, ah, ah, ah. Oh, kasi location, later, oh. Ah, mam. Set design. Ah, mam, mam. Mga props mo, lahat, lahat, kasama lahat yung. Ah, ah, ah. Oh, so pati, so-oh. Yes, ah, ah, ah. Okay, so tell me the difference between being an art director, being a production designer, and so on. Okay, yun. So, well, art director, you're basically there on the set to make sure that the concept, the design concept is executed well. All the things that are necessary are there when they're needed, di ba? No. So you're really the- The last person. The arm. You're the arm of the production designer. When you're in production design, you don't only think about that. You think about concepts. You make decisions on locations, on decor, in accordance to a concept. So kailangan, meron kang box do na. Oh, labas lahat yung scarf jya. Ah, yun. When you choose the objects of material culture to be used in the film, that is pre-chosen with an idea in mind. So let's say, given the idea, okay, we need scarves here. It's not just any scarve. Based on your design, you can only get this many scarves, this type of scarves, or these colors, because there is a design. Design philosophy. It's the art director who makes sure that they're applied well, but the choice, humaganda framework of the images, the choices, comes from the designer. Dapat nakasunduan na kayo na director jyan. Oh, naman. The vision for the film. Ang maganda nung kailangan, Karly is new what he wanted. Yes. So that was- Wala mo siya dung hulaan. Wala, wala. Parang, I need something. Intuitive. I need something. And then, hindi mo alam kung ano, and then when he said, when it arrives, and he said, ah, yeah, yeah, I think I need something like this. So, iba yung style. So, as production designer, working with Chito Ronyo, for example, ano ang madon? What I like about, what I remember working with Chito, he discusses with you concepts, design concepts, but he will not impose. Discuss until something nice comes up. And then, many said that difficult, they said, ah, si Chito, ani yan, hindi ganon, in my experience with him. It was a pleasure working with him. It was difficult because he demanded so much, but when you see it on screen, lahat ang pagod mo na wawala, because he really, ano eh, he doesn't, you see the function of his demands and the requirements and what it does to the material. So it's very gratifying. And then fun, Chito is actually fun to work with because he's very witty. And then, I remember we even make fun of the script. I mean, during waiting time. So, ganon, pleasant ang ano ko, tiring, but, ano is, I kind of suerte ako sa akong mga directors kasi, parang maganda yung ano ko, memories ko. Si Mike Rillon, makiling nakatrabaho rin, di ba? Oh, di ba? Bago si Mariludia Sabaya. Di ba ano siya, parang action film? Oh, yun yung, ano ko, Rillon ya. But what film did you work with? Him. Estu Janti Blues. This was the, This was the, it's really weird because he was assigned by Viva to do a juvenile film. It's a coming-of-age film, ang artista yun, yung mga batang artista. I think they used the, it was a hit. It was a song, Estu Janti Blues. It was a very popular song at that time. And then they made a story about about students. At that time, high school students. And then he was assigned, so I found it very weird. An action director doing a film na parang ganon, youth-oriented. And it's not about ano pangay, hindi pangay siya yung edgy. It was very mainstream, the Viva films. So Sa ano yung production design ang ganon, parang flash by on? Number one, he it turned out that he was very cool. I mean he was not the macho, director type. And then he just let me be okay, do what you want. Basta maganda yung ganon. So since it was a very commercial material, so I had to get my sources of inspiration from popular culture at that time. So ano yung late eight, nama ba yung nineties? Parang late eighties siya. Eighties, nineties. Basta nansang ganon yung git na. And then the culture at that time was very visual. It was alam mo at that time na graphics was used. So ginamit ko lahat yung to come up with a film that looked commercial. Because I guess na ano ako dun sa Viva film because that was my second Viva project. What was the first one? What was the first one? Missis mo, missis ko. Kasi meron this lang formulae, di ba? Yes ma'am. I got a memo because I did not follow. Correct. I did not follow the design formula. Correct. Because I followed Carlitos the director. Oh, baka ibayo na? I haven't seen the actual memo but Tita Meads told me na, oh, nakatanggap ako ng memo bakit ganon ang design, bakit wala masyadong kulay. Bakit wala masyadong bulaklak. Gana-gana. But I don't know how true that was. But it was something that she told me but sabi ko, no, I have to obey the director. Kasi may visual peg na ano yung commercial, ano yung magustuhan ng mga tao and then you have to deliver that. In Missis mo, the palette was very controlled. And the objects were very controlled. So easy on the flowers, easy on this, easy on that, easy on the pastels. We totally got away from that parang ano, from that brand, branding of Viva at that time. So this time, when I did Mr. Janti Blues, sinunod ko naman. Because anyway it was a commercial film. I also did that film because at that time sikat na sikat ang di ba ex ang mga singit. At that time, there were a lot of singing for those films. I did not want to get involved in that. So I just because the good scripts actually had those, not that I was being prudish. I was not comfortable. Because you would not know I don't have any control. Sometimes they would make, I mean you would make something serious and then the production would suddenly shoot something and then before you know it, marinig mo sa balita no na. Okay, maganda yung pelikula, pero manong sang siningit na ex-rated at the end. They used to do that, di ba? So I didn't want to get involved in productions that had a damega no practice. Then sexploitation et cetera. You didn't want to get involved in that. So I just did and let's go to Mariludi Asabaya with your Murami and Rizal. These were big films and people were always waiting for it at that time. I actually did not think that I would be involved in on Rizal because at that time I was very busy doing TV commercials, doing design for TV commercials. And then I got a call, especially doing TV commercials with Manolo Abaya who was also cinematographer and director at the same time. So we worked in many, many, many projects. And then I did not know that I would even be involved. I heard about Rizal being made and it was there were test shoots already done with Mike Galeon and JMA at that time. And then they were doing it for a year na testing Agamulak et cetera, et cetera. So that was really out of the picture. Suddenly it was you. Oh, and then one day I was where was I? Ah, I was with a supplier who did costumes for me I received a call from Greg DeGosman who was the production manager always of Marilu. And then as it would I would I be doing would I be interested to do a film on Rizal. And then I said ah, there's another film there's one being made by JMA baka not anymore. No, this is the one made by JMA so because what happened to the project of Mike Galeon so I mean oh well that's another story. The director now is the writer is Rikili et cetera et cetera. Of course finally one of my earliest mentor is Rikili finally got to work with the project with Rikili so I said so where is the meeting would you want to come to a meeting so that's when I got involved in it when I I didn't really say yes at the beginning but the fact that I went to the meeting palang yun na yun so you were pretty much involved ang ginagawa mo noon mga commercials So make some mga projects here you are getting into film again film again which will take up a lot of your time nabah hindi na yan pag anong ano and so the commitment would be doing this so were there problems? Ano mga challenges or no? Number one I asked for a leave of absence from UP from teaching so I had to take a leave from teaching because I knew the research itself would be parang not tough but would take some time because you know our records here so yun and then it took a lot of time to to ano put the research together the visual research together So you did research and then you started to sasyut din mayro ng by every frame you were cleaning it up because it would have to look a certain way during the production you would have we had almost how many months ang tagal noon every every week I think I remember every Friday we would go to the house of marilu and meet what what have you found out and then it was really a meeting of the key people in the staff each one having research doing research so that things that I found out that were not really in the department I shared with someone from from for the other department for the director's team so it was really a normal teamwork, right? oh ma'am pero ganun ka tagal yan oh ma'am months ma'am 10 or 8 months I think na yun ang yun lang yung result and then we had to reread which I like nolly and filly yun so basa ulit pero di ba even ko anong susutin ano yung mga botones oh ma'am hindi po ay din ang plastic yung ah hindi ma'am hindi ma'am somebody said we actually used knocker botones yes knocker botones di ba meron mga ganong mga usapan oh ma'am but there were certainly botones at that time somebody also said oh bakit hindi bakit hindi feather ang anong sabi ko hindi na may fountain pen at that time and many people did not know that there was already electricity at that time at least in Manila yun so little things na in fact so research is very important for production design yes but very very important yung consistency with the history and all that so any significant thing about production design for Jose Riza maybe you know we'd like to put that on record and try to important yung insights ano ma'am ah we were able to but this is not so much design as the value that you get in research because we were able kasi di ba meron mga books on on the trial itself the what do you call this the transcript of the trial result is there it's actually de la costa father from Ateneo it has a book entirely about it both in in Spanish and in the translation we have that but in the film it was 100 so we were able actually to to get photocopy of the transcript 100 may mga mga nakikita maganda din yung ano yung yung discurso kasi yung kohana sa kamain ni Jose Riza may Rosario ba ah yung mga issues That's territorial. Do you know it? Can say production design. We just made the design of the Rolls-Ar Americas that whether Marilo was going to do it or not, that's her responsibility. whether he must own it or he was like. We had nanomame remember because there were accounts that said that Jose Resal was wearing a white tie during his execution. There were also accounts that said that he was wearing a black tie so I had to prepare two ties. But the idea of shooting it two ways was out of the question because it would be very expensive kasi mahaba yung xe na yung sequence. So we used a white tie because if, for example, during post-production something comes up and really said that it's going to be a black tie it's easier to change it on color and post. So it has to be white because it's difficult to make black-white in post so better to make white. Decision, siguro if wearing all the historical stuff napitsanding that parang siguro ang significant para sa akin dunes a lot of the production design decisions were revolved around the capacity for post-production to actually change certain things because part of, I think, part of the contribution of the film was we were able to put up again edifices and built heritage just no longer existing now. So the second floor of the Fort Santiago does not exist anymore. These are the things that we only see in black and white pictures but because of the twin, at least from my own personal point of view I was able to parang rebuild it at least on cinema at how it actually looked like at that time. So there was a lot of post-production done there that was actually a result of research because the post-production guys would only respond to what I give them as a production designer. I think who may have a contribution I think na malakas doon except that people don't know it it's usually the performances and everything but insofar as the design is concerned because I'm one of the realized and I was a bit aghast actually when we made a production and then we listed the things and the places that were supposed to shoot and hold our, what do you call this? our scenes about, I think ngayon about 75, 70 to 75% we cannot do it on location because it's not existing anymore so and then it actually made me realize ano natin ang patrimoni natin ang how we, as a people don't value heritage as much as we should parang pinalabayaan na lang natin sila na na mawala well, in this film you were able now to reconstruct the bank so I think that's a big job so magandang contribution yun ang laki ng tarbaho talaga ng production design sa historical films well, serious historical films so ako sa akin maganda yan pero let's shift yung muroami is also such a big production design work where a lot of the shoots were in this big seafaring machine so paano yun did you construct that na putul-putul merong nakabukas talagang buhayon na yung project na muroami was daunting because kaya maliit lang yung kwento malaki yung because it involved the sea it involved nature it involved children you know how it is dun palang alam mong dun ting na yung project and then we would be using a boat out in the in the sea and we know that shooting in water is never never good we already knew that even in theory because there in Vietnam rose was too big maraming too big so I knew how it is to shoot in water yun also reading and I remember sinabi ni Steven Spielberg although he binawi niya yun after making jokes he said or he's not going to make a water movie at all never but of course kinaami study did it again but after Jaws ayon niya so yun ang ano mam yun ang dun ting noon and then yung the film kasi it's not medyo ano yung the term muroami would tell yun na parang social realism it's actually not it's a very allegorical film it's very stylized which the title doesn't because the original title of the film was not even muroami it was Aurora that's the name of the wife of Fredo that was the original title Aurora so anyhow di pa ako nakagawa na parang allegorical ang film so immediately what comes up it's symbols and then yung mga ganun ba yung mga iconic images so parang I found myself drawing yung parang ganun ba yung kasi parang Aurora pero let me yung concepto niya parang child laborer tapos Aurora because that is the term muroami connotes that kaya yun ang ginamit na and it was a serious film that had to say something about so people I think part of the reception of the film was the expectation that the material was going to be will tackle about child expectation only to find out na hindi naman talaga don pero nakafocus yun about power so mas philosophical ang treatment so I guess that was one of the reasons why there was mixed reception because of the expectation but having said that anong naman aware naman ako na ganun so hindi ko I did not strive for social realism in the design I've always adhered to know what is it it's allegorical, it's ganun so I had to stylize it a bit I think parang heightened reality so stylize it anong yung sagwan hindi sagwan talaga hindi mam parang ano mo exaggerate mo hi stylize to siya so medyo exaggerated bot for example one of the challenges of the bot was both technical and I guess artistic because on one hand we were going to shoot on the bot so the bot was also allocation and also a character so ang nangyari dun mam is we had to look for a bot that was number one it has to be safe it has to be worthy you cannot have a rickety bot because ibig mo sabihin di redo yung we had to look for a young bot it's called a young bot, is that a new bot you have to look for a young bot a young bot would be a bot between one year and 25 years and then we had to go around and and then we found this bot in Orani Bata'a Orani summer I forgot the town it's a northern summer it is near the street that separates the tip of summer it's a street that is between the tip of summer and the tip of Bicol because that's an important parang highway we bought the ship to Bohol and then it was new it was all white and then we number one, it had to be wood number one we had to be wood because it was stylized because the Moroami boats were not made of wood they were made of steel I saw the film of Lino Broca yung ginawan di Rodilacap but we didn't want that kasi hindi nga siya socially released so I wanted something more, alamang yung ganon so kahoy, number one number two, we had to choose a boat that could actually ganito kasi yung if you want, if you're shooting and then you want to return, you reverse a boat that has only one LEC can only go like this yun it cannot turn on its own axis but if you have two propellers it can actually do this we had to look for a boat that can do this kasi si Marilu was always particular about deficiency in the shooting and number two, flexible siya sa kanyang angles na anytime, ay, we're seeing an island we had to go like this so madali yung maneuvering we were lucky we found a boat and then we brought it to Bohol and then it was new, we had to strip all of the paint to make it look old correct, location siya tapos visually kailangan dubating yung symbol et cetera so it took a month and then there were many things that had to be thought of the boat actually became for me a piece of theatrical piece mas theater sa akin ang tingin do na kasi confined yung space mo yan so theatrical yung approach tapos I invented the mast when pwede naman wala ng mast pero gumawala ko ng mast only because it doubled as a crane for Roddy Lachap to put his moonlight on the evening kasi you cannot have kasi yung ang gulungak mahirap and then direct wanted steady come and all of that so you can't have all of this stands in the boat so it had to be clip up and then so for the reason we bought omg I think it was kung di ako nang kakamali it was a 16 inch diameter tube went all the way up and then we had to attach it to the boat we had to we had to consult the engineers if it would topple the boat etc so there was a lot of actually technical work that went into it that of course the viewers will not see or the critics will not see kayo kayo nalang yan very technical work in fact yan, dun ko talaga naramdaman how technical it is I had to read on the basics of yung boat design kasi I had to understand you read about it etc what about your training did you have some schooling for your production design tell me about that fine arts ka mam, actually it's in the reverse I took formal training in fine arts I was already designing it's the reverse so what made you go into the designing what was your background or training for you to get into designing when you haven't had your fine arts yet I mean where did you come from sa aka at ground my first my first foot in filmmaking was writing I really liked to write even if I was taking a business course I really liked to write and then there was this opportunity I was very very sad working in Meralco one day para hindi ka bagay kasi I had to pay the bills and then I was very young then there was this call Ricky Lee was supposed to hold this first workshop now it's already a legend in the script writing workshop I was very fortunate to have been accepted in that workshop based on a short story I made anyway yun ang una kung foot in yun and then at that time unlike now if you're an outsider if you're not the anak of someone who is in the movies it will be very difficult for you to come in very difficult and I could just imagine even for women ang hirap irap so I was thinking I'd really like to go to a film and then maybe this is one way but since it's writing I liked it and since it's Ricky Lee so yun yun ang una and then walang nangyari dun mam after the workshop because yun ang amam walang naman opportunity is masado again I had to pay the bills was Bing Lau Jeffrey Turian Pepin Anyunuevo who else ah the late Vincent Kua the cartoonist and the one who made comics one of the very first LGBT themed series comics sino pa ba so this was an opportunity to connect I'll pick that up and talk about your cubrador Bing Lau was there Jeffrey Turian you became the production designer tell us about that but no na yan no na ito we didn't know that we were going to work together well I think ano lang nag gelang together ang cubrador si actually yun before that Jeffrey made before cubrador I think Jeffrey made tako no no no the other one to hug yun and then um meron pang isa fail a patch of water yun pila balde pila balde yun yun manon si si pila balde because I was doing murami at the time so hindi ko na hindi ko na sa manon and then I remember manunuri I remember made win for that season anyway and then sabi ni Jeffrey sana magasamatay sa pelikula and then this opportunity cubrador came and then I like the idea na parang style of film and then the subject matter was parang unexplored before and then just of working with Bing Lau with Jeffrey Turian and with Boy Inigas and then Georgie was there pa so parang wain nata I mean parang nukuloko ako hindi ko kakonin yung so tingin mo yung scale na yan pagsinabi mo production design for a cubrador may shift yan you have such a big scale sa erisa so anong adjustment the challenge with cubrador is not so much the scale but yung choices nang lugar parang yung the squatter area of the film is actually four places four places parang because I was very particular sinabi ko Jeff parang the idea is this is hell and it's a maze and then it's dark and then when you get out of it maliwanag maluwag masikip because of the shooting style which means that the cinematographer will have to use wide lenses the tendency of wide lenses is to make small spaces look wide which means pero gusto mong our locations have to be very very narrow alleys so we have to look for certain places for that there are many many squatter areas here na actually ang luwag ng alleys nila so we have to look for those na talagang makited na parang it's just one meter wide for us to be able to have that kind of effect and then we had to choose interior locations that were big enough but kami na ang nagpaliit through design, through planning so it was not like as is where is that we went to these locations in the squatter areas no there was a lot of work done we also had to rig rain na ang haba-haba it was complicated ito yung ano you have to work well with your director of photography production design anong kukunan niya etc tell us about that okay, I was suerte ako sa cinematographers ko Dalai Charlie Peralta Pereira June Pereira I was able to work with Totonati Vidad of course Roddy Lakap and Boyinigas and yung the favorite of Selzo Adzi pidadangalan niyo yun Mithug and Romy Mithug cinematographers and Boyinigas cinematographers that I've worked with and I worked very closely with them giving them what's the palette what's the idea meetings and then they've made very good suggestions also that actually helped me in my work so I really worked closely with them sometimes to the point na medyo may tension but I think that's part of creative work of course maganda yung sinasabi mo maganda yung matagal ka rin so is there a maturity in production design sa ating film setting sa cinema natin what is it binabi ang banan potansya ano ba ang still ngayon may be not the filmmakers themselves but the general public and those are not really involved I would always remember even in they would always praise it's always like this the film sa ganyan the visual sa ganon the cinematography they always forget the production designer but you have to remember if there's no production design there's nothing to like that's true is it still in that point mo kong hindi pa rin nila masyadong role may be it's unfair to say na oh you have to recognize kasi it's recognized naman but I think we always may be it's part of the medium we're always sidestepped by by the cinematography because you have to remember the beginnings of production design is theater okay ang in-film cinematography belongs to film editing belongs to film right so it is it is a discipline that is intrinsic to the medium ang design kasi kasa mayon but it is also it has an older history in theater so I guess nangisip ko na lang anyway ano naman kayo sa theater masluba naman kayo and then this is intrinsically film so I guess the nature of the medium would actually be the reason why focus is really given to that in terms of evaluation in terms of critical evaluation of film in itself so it's partly because of the medium not because production design is unimportant we know that a lot of filmmakers would always be very very dependent and particular to production design and these are very good filmmakers scubrik niba bergman all of these great great event our younger what do you call this? our younger filmmakers, young Korean filmmaker for parasite but let me just so I get it that from what you're saying what is important is also to be working with the director who gives importance to the production design or else kaya sabi mo nga pinipili mo yung yung atanggap mo although minsan baka kailam sana pabayaan na lang ako no but ma'am always value na nandunan director because after all hindi naman production designer na nga upo sa editing I mean the film niba the film is really a director's medium I mean let's accept it let me ask you anong philosopher mo behind production design wow the general philosophy pinaka I don't know if I can call it a philosophy ang sakin lang ang paniniwala ko of course this is relative to the material no but generally design should be like it should support the story if it does not support the story and but design should not be just decoration it actually should push the story it should illuminate character for me the most important function of design it's not to make pretty pictures when the pictures become too pretty I always am very suspicious so I when in my work I take out more than the things that I actually put if it doesn't help the story I remove it okay good great gusto ko lang malaman talaga yung what's driving your design and as an artist tiba what what would you stand for because beyond your going to film and doing production design doon sa art mo what I my first I tried to write well I think I can write but I first wrote and then I did production design because that was the only opening in terms of coming into the industry and then my experience my practice in design siguro if if anything it helped me become very how to say very sensitive I think yung sense of space ko is has been sharp and doing production design especially yung space looking at it from the perspective of actual space and the space on the two dimension kasi film is two dimensional but the source of film is three dimension and then it becomes two dimensional so therefore you see now either you want to make it deep yung cutting of space et cetera mas conscious ko sa ganon and then yung this kind of sensitivity I tried to to use in my paintings as well as installations yung I heard well I read somewhere ang mga sinusolution mo na ngayon I would be your new body what else history and remembering can you tell us something about that before I go to your film that you directed yung after also how many years doing what you call this being into the visual arts napansin ko na the recurring themes that I sa aking mga trabaho because I'm not number one I'm not an artist with a particular style no I don't have one style kasi I'm multimedia and unlike other artists but I'm not saying that's bad but other artists who paint only in a certain way my relationship with my practice is what a scholar would say I'm not a monogamist I'm a polygamist I love many styles maganda yun na gala lang explain mo na gusto yun yun mga hindi ba I'm not stuck with one way of painting or one style one way of saying it I adjusted to the theme that I am I'm tackling now yung inano ko mam yung what you call this yung practice ko revolve where I make artworks that revolve around these themes they occur again and again about the body I've always believed at the embodiment yung our consciousness are not separate from our bodies we take our consciousness with us so ibig sabihin if the body is the vessel for our consciousness then the body should be very important it is not just a medium vessel but the body itself how we perceive things how we we how we are affected by things even the way we are sitting down actually affects the kind of I think the manner the conduct of our conversation if it's like this if it were a table it would be very different mam so how we deploy our bodies it's actually very important so how does that connect now to history and remembering well apart from the fact when we're doing about consciousness everything we do our bodies operate on memory that's why we are able to climb up stairs that's why we are able to to do many things and it's all tied together yung yung the centrality of the body and yung consciousness in having the power to remember things to tell stories all of that nakakabit lat yan sa katawan natin and then sometimes even the sensual aspect of our body is sometimes um we do remember through our bodies through our senses and our sensuality except that it's suppressed by our Catholic background but we're not as in touch with our bodies as other cultures for example you know that so yung mam makakarugtong para sa akin pero sa bingan yung mam yung mam pagwala ka na na remember wala ka na remember but if you've done important things you have history with you even if you lose even if you lose your memory even if you lose your memory what you have done before that is now part of history becomes the memory of a community that's the shift of positioning right? from self to outside how they see you too wonderful i think that's important ano ay yung gagawa mo and you have this at the back of your head when you do your work ito na yung sinulat mo instant mommy this was in 2013 it was i thought it was quite an exciting film and tell us about that film ano yung na actually i went into it have serious it came to a point i should start i should write something that i'm able to finish and then the story is not even mine it was a story that was junked before because of this because of that many reasons in fact that the reason that it was junked i became more interested i like things that are discarded for one reason or another i'd like to siguro know why it was discarded to begin with so i got this story about this japa yuki i mean not sorry and i said how do i transform this to to make a character more empowered rather than being a victim so i just wrote that and then when it came to a point i think i have a script why don't i include it in sinimalaya so sinama ko siya sinamit ko, inayos ko and then actually it did not get it was not part of the first 10 that was chosen ang i was told i was part of the 15 the top 15 that was chosen and then i think several people were chosen in the first backed out so that's the reason i came in which is good but the problem is i was not really i don't think i was psyched up enough to make that film to make that film because the ano was too soon i received that call from melchonglo saying na, no you're already part of it because nag-backout si ganoon so we're including it in the 10 sinimalaya finalist so parang that took me aback ikao mag-didan kasi anong ka na mayanong ka so so yun yan pas-forward pas-forward yun so yun ganoon looking for producers but was it a good experience for you? it was a learning experience for me one of the lessons there is dapat mas patigas ang ulo ko you're too nice yes so iba yung shift from production design to a writer, director ibang kailangan anong metal ang kailangan mato and then i think it all boils down to that dapat naging mas again mas maging adamanta ko kasi mga gusto mong gawin insist on it there was i never make a film with very little time for shooting because basically as a person even as a creative individual medyo mabagala ko mag-trabaho mabagala ko mag-process some people are amazed at them kasi ang bilis-bilis nila but ako mabagala ko, mabagala ko mag-anong and then once you're pressured to do so many things say things that you forget or you could have done it this way but may mga ganong may mga ganong but it was relatively a well-received film mixed ang reviews nya ako sanayin ako sa review and then somebody's positive opinion yes, thank you somebody makes an opinion that's not positive well, that's your opinion this is life, i think i'm old enough to say it that way what is interesting for me was the reception most especially when it was screened outside because the film did get to be screened in in Dubai international film festival it was screened in the golden horse in Taipei in Hawaii I wasn't able to go to Hawaii and then it screened in Osaka at that I really treasure the feedback of the foreign audience and then you would be surprised that there are certain things that the takeaways in the film is very different from the takeaways at local so you'd see the difference and then um yung feedback dito I think the Filipino audience is may sophistication siya hindi ko, hindi natin masasabi na yung medyo sila no, I think the Filipino audience at least in independent cinema may sophistication sila a lot so okay lang I just wish that when I did instant mommy yung the allusions the metaphors that I tried to put in sana nakuwa yung nakuwa naman yung iba nakuwa naman yung iba ang ano ko is I'm not a fast worker I'm a bit slow in thinking over things so I'm not very sure if the 15 day shoot paradigm and 40 day preparation is good or sometimes I'm also thinking what if I try making a film written by someone else that's another idea so so this would be my I'll give you the space to say or to give suggestions or even insights et cetera and recommendations advice to our filmmakers young filmmakers and those who want to go to production design so pwede bang bagay mo ng payo am I that old but you you've done so much already panu bang I think either way whether you go into design or in anything that you want to embark on I think you you have to love what you're doing because the in design or even production or even filmmaking it's hard enough to make one the fact that the protocols are only limited to technicals the creativity there's so much room for exploration you can ever bank on or be comfortable with formula because it's a creative work which means given that you really have to love doing it if you want to use for example like some of filmmaking or production design because it's part of the entertainment business whether we like it or not di ba? and you just want to be popular baka gusto mo mag Instagram ka na lang di ba? if you want to be famous for doing a film maybe it's the wrong premise you just want to tell stories I mean really tell stories in a particular way because even design is an art generally di ba? it's really a way of telling stories so if you want to go into this discipline you cannot just be a decorator or you cannot just be a stylist or you cannot just be a like a painter if you like you have to be to train yourself you have to inform yourself about telling stories about narrative art both in a practical sense and even in a theoretical or philosophical sense you know what storytelling is about all the other things you learn about design about the formal aspects and everything nan janyan e but I think it's more central na how does this tell a story I think whether the story is story in a literary sense or story in terms of creating moving images because you don't have to have literary structure to be able to create visual stories alam natin yan even in theory di ba? so it's a way of putting things together to create to create I think either a feeling, an emotion a movement or even a thought if you like great thank you very much for that Leo eto naman parang ano to questions

What's going on guys it's your boy DPJ here today with another destiny video and today I bring you this epic loot haul. In this video we will see my true meaning of war loot results for the past two weeks. My iron banner rank 5 packages across all three of my characters and my nightfall loot results across all three of my characters for the past week. But before we go any further if you guys do enjoy the video leaving a like would be very much appreciated and the epic support you guys show me really does help out. Okay so getting straight into the loot and let's first start off with my true mean war loot. On my Hunter from last week I got the revelator dropping out at 3.35 with surrounded and third eye. This hand cannon in my opinion is below par with the likes of the Lord Highfixer and the Ice Lunar so that is basically pointless me keeping it and it was used for infusion. This week on my Hunter I got 17 strange coins. On my Titan from last week I received the red death dropping at disappointing 3.34. This week on my Titan I received the exotic gauntlets the null backup plans dropping at 3.34 defense but believe it or not I actually don't have a year 2 version of these so I'm happy with them. On my Warlock from last week I received the revelator again again though dropping at 3.35 attack so they're basically only good for infusion. This week on my Warlock I received the red spectre dropping at 3.32 due to my level dropping with hot swap and hidden hand so not too bad of weapon perks to be honest but in my opinion this thing does need stability but I will try it out none the less. Okay so we're gonna move on to my iron banner loot results and the end of gaming wars actually didn't get too many of them I only had 10 drops I will add though that I didn't start playing iron banner until the Saturday due to being at games come so I didn't play as long as I would have if I didn't go to Germany and because XP gains improved towards the end of the week it's way easier and takes less matches to rank up to that rank 5 but I did get a few decent drops and a few half decent hand cannons as well but none with that perfect role. Okay so we're gonna move on to my packages and on my package with my hunter I got the Haken's hatchet dropping at 3.35 with the perks hit fire perfect balance and third eye. I'm actually happy with this weapon I mean I deleted all the other versions of this weapon I had in the past so I'm quite happy I got it again. On my Titan from the rank 5 package I got the Ash Raven's flight which is the fusion rifle this drop with hidden hand rifle barrel and Icarus. Shame it was a 3.34 but still decent in my opinion. On my Warlock from the rank 5 iron banner package I got a DD's Retort dropping at 3.34 and with the perks full auto small bore and replenish. I did however get a couple drop from end of game rewards with better perks but still this one in my opinion ain't too bad.  So my initial rewards were as follows on my hunter I got a 3.35 attack fourth horseman on my Warlock I got a 3.30 defense ghost shell and on my Titan I also got a ghost shell and ladies and gentlemen this is why I stay clear I've done damn useless nightfalls but look at this on my first run on my hunter and killing of the boss with the undying mind I actually got the Imago loot my first time I've ever gotten this weapon and the perks were a hot swap, hand loaded and hidden hand which makes it a half decent role for PvP and on most people wants to drop that fate bring the role but not me I'm happy I've just finally got it to be honest and if you do have a decent version of this Imago loot let me know what it is down below in that comment section and guys there's the end of this loot haul video if you enjoyed it do hit that like button I do appreciate the support thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one peace out until next time POST!
