Dog Beer
Dog Beer Nothing like a Dog Beer on a hot South African day! Dog Beer Dog Beer beats social networks anytime: here’s Mojo, the ‘puppy’ from next-door, instantly at the door with that special look in his eyes! Only 6 months old… Too late…. Holly is flat under the table having a dog dream and wishing everybody a happy dog day! Here’s to Web Design with Passion – and a difference! Continue reading

Video Dimensions
Video Dimensions Once again, video dimensions and aspect ratios are becoming an issue for me in the editing process on Adobe Premiere Pro… and I am searching for solutions. Here’s an original image in 1600 x 900 px (16:9) – in fact, for the first time I am not working in frame aspect ratio 3 : 4 but 16 : 9 ! Therefor, all images of the movie have been edited in that aspect ratio (original size attached) to prepare for optimal HD format – at least so I thought: Video Dimensions I set the video dimensions to 720p (aspect 1280 x 720 = 16 x 9) – but this is the ‘excerpt’ I get (measured dimension 1298 x 730) – yet significantly cut-off on all sides: In some pictures – like close-ups – I have no problems… In others like this one with a carefully designed logo – it really matters. And besides… it’s something I need to understand and know … even without being a numbers’ person. But it gets even better… I copied/pasted the whole movie (pictures and music) to a new sequence after changing the settings to 1080 (instead of 720… )… and ticking that Default [...] Continue reading

Wedding Video Design
Wedding Video Design As part of the Wedding Website I am currently preparing – and while waiting for my new system to have more punch to edit and render video material – I have just finished a short movie based on Wedding Photography and custom Wedding Video Design. Here is my Logo Design based on the song “One Love” by Bob Marley – a request by the newly weds for this part of their wedding story on their (future) website. Wedding Video Design Since this Wedding Lunch took place in another part of South Africa, the challenge for me was to create something out of what I got: in this case a CD of professional photos by Andrew Elliott Photography, in different shapes and sizes, using different filters, and no corrections etc. While overwhelming in the beginning to say the least… it’s in looking through the material again and again to get a feeling for the photography, the style, the flow, finding those little gems and excerpts and – finally – discover the message one wants to focus on and translate in the video. ADOBE Premiere Pro ADOBE Premiere Pro is my preferred editing tool, although [...] Continue reading

Website Tutorial 1
Website Tutorial 1 Website Tutorial 1 addresses the following situation: Some of our valued website customers are completely new to the technicalities and operation of websites and blogs and what they demand in the future, once setup and completed. The fact is, that it is the dynamic content of the blog – meaning regular, original posts and articles vamped up with photos, images and videos etc – that keep the website alive, that keep the hungry search engine spyders coming back again and again for more (… fresh, delicious content that is)… and sending us flowers in form of top rankings on Google. Facit: work on a website and/or blog is never complete once the website has been constructed and delivered; work continues in many different ways, including also maintenance and regular upgrades just to name a few… Basically, the website owner has two options: to do the work him- or herself (which demands time, patience, knowledge and skills as the case may be… ) or to outsource – which is a continuing cost factor that definitely pays. Website Tutorial 1 For the time being, Monkey Valley Resort has allocated a person to get acquainted with the new website [...] Continue reading

Happy Valentine
Happy Valentine It’s the 14th February 2012 – time to wish everybody a loving “Happy Valentine” from a rather cool yet dynamic Cape Town, South Africa! Happy Valentine While “Happy Valentine” is obviously of value under commercial aspects for those who have something to sell… meaning it is one of those many occasions where products can be pushed, it’s nice for young and old couples in love to spend a special evening together and celebrate their intimate bond. In that sense, Thorfynn’s Restaurant at Monkey Valley Resort has prepared a special dinner CLICK HERE that you may want to enjoy while watching the sunset over Noordhoek Beach… Wedding Website Developments Meanwhile, and after my environmental journey to the North, I continue Wedding Website Developments focusing on a special lunch with the motto “Let’s get together and feel alright” – the newly wed’s favorite by Bob Marley!

Portraits of Africa 2012 on Google
Portraits of Africa 2012 on Google Time again to monitor and check the performance of our new WP based Semiomantics XO 2012 Script on search engines. Here’s a screenshot of yesterday’s post “Portraits of Africa 2012″ on Google – have a look! Positions 1, 2, 3 and 6 ahead of 10,800,000 search returns – YEBO GOGO! Portraits of Africa 2012 on Google When looking up “Portraits of Africa 2012″ on Google, I also checked how the images in my article were ranked – here’s the detail of the screenshot showing the Image of a “Young African Girl” on position one, followed by the Image of a “Young African Boy” on position 4… and a small ad I created ages ago peeking at us on position 2. All of them ahead of our South African presidents… just too funny! The young generation is on the move! Portrait of Africa Images It becomes even more intrigueing when we look up “Portrait of Africa Images” on Google and find these young faces of Africa featuring amongst some really classy photography! And again… the random positioning is just too weird… for those who read this and understand what I mean! Welcome to [...] Continue reading

Portraits of Africa 2012 Portraits of Africa 2012 – untouched… straight from my simple NIKON Coolpix P90 … just the magic of a Young African Girl.

Portraits of Africa
Portraits of Africa Within my photo series “Portraits of Africa” here is the image of a young African boy. Portraits of Africa I just love Black & White Photography and how it adds depth to a picture, especially portraits and expressive faces. “Portraits of Africa” are shot on a simple NIKON Coolpix P90 with a minimum of post-editing, ideally nothing at all.

Web Design Trends 2012
Web Design Trends 2012 The upcoming first Ycademy Seminar 2012 will focus on Web Design Trends 2012 in terms of what they mean for our brand-new WordPress based Semiomantics XO 2012. Web Design Trends 2012 In order to follow and implement Web Design Trends 2012, learning new languages like CSS3 and html5 has become crucial – especially also due to the unfortunate conflicts around Flash which cannot be seen on the exploding mobile market. Accordingly, this weekend’s fully online YCADEMY Seminar will need focused attention and strong nerves! That’s the price to pay to be and remain a qualified Semiomantics expert! MadMax is ready – are YOU?! Continue reading

Monkey Valley Resort on Mobile
Monkey Valley Resort on Mobile I just got some screenshots directly from the iPhone in Europe to demonstrate how the new Monkey Valley Resort Website actually looks on the Mobile web – and I’m absolutely thrilled! The quality and resolution are just outstanding and I left the image big so you can appreciate it here even though the picture may take a moment to load. This is soooo sexy! Above, you see the Frontpage of the Monkey Valley Resort Website, which features a large elegant slider displaying the various chapters and attractions of the hotel resort 30 kms out of Cape Town, South Africa. What is remarkable here is how beautifully the slider displays – all based on new technology as, sadly, Flash does not display on mobile phones and this forced us to adapt in our Semiomantics Website Development, learning new languages like CSS3 and HTML5. Monkey Valley Resort on Mobile Much if not most of today’s business on the Internet is piped in one way or another through the mobile web… a reason why Monkey Valley Resort had to be visible on mobile.

Best Cape Town Weddings
Best Cape Town Weddings Cape Town Weddings are a hot topic on Google right now as the Mother City and South Africa as a whole are exploding with the most glorious summer weather and Nature is in full bloom. However, at the end of the day, the best Cape Town Weddings don’t depend on a specific place but on the intention of the people gathering to celebrate the happy event! It’s always about the people – family and friends – who bring their love, joy and genuine goodwill to bless the new couple and ensure that they will be remembering their wedding day as the happy beginning of their united lives. Best Cape Town Weddings Of course, it’s also high season for photographers and videographers who aim at shooting the best moments of these Cape Town Weddings – each one with their specific style – some super-glamorous, others more journalistic or with an artistic touch, some like it colourful, others simply black and white. What is important is to capture the atmosphere and those very unique instants – mostly totally unexpected – that have a profound meaning and really touch our heart. In this respect the wedding preparations leading [...] Continue reading

Happy Weddings in Cape Town
Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google Monitoring our SEO results on a regular basis is an ongoing process – also in 2012. We are determined to give our customers the very best service and help them achieve high rankings on Google Top 10. This is nothing we can nor should take for granted as algorhythms change and so many relatively volatile factors are involved, however, keeping an eye on the pulse and being flexible allows to firstly observe any major changes and then adapt accordingly and as fast as possible. In this respect, I watched the results of “Happy Weddings in Cape Town” on Google – this being a short and sweet article published yesterday on the relatively new website I created for Monkey Valley Resort HERE. The result – and this within only 42 seconds – was absolutely astonishing: Position One on Google ahead of 2,560,000 search results! See the screenshot I took yesterday, below: Happy Weddings in Cape Town on Google This morning – basically a little less than a day later – I wondered how the ranking would look now – and here is the even more spectacular result: Positions 1, 2 and 3 [...] Continue reading

Cape Town Weddings
Cape Town Weddings It’s that time of the year where many couples celebrate their love and add meaning to their words by getting married! One of the Best Cape Town Wedding Venues is of course Monkey Valley Resort in the romantic Noordhoek Valley on the slopes of Chapman’s Peak – however, my favourite hotel in Cape Town itself – where we spent a couple of weeks when researching our future home – is the elegant and citywise optimally situated Vineyard Hotel in Claremont, Cape Town. Below is a view from the terrace towards the majestic Table Mountain range… It’s here, in the lush and beautiful gardens… washed by light rains that very day until just a few minutes before the wedding… where stage one of the beautiful and very private Wedding Ceremony took place that I had the privilege to document. All Wedding Photography & Videography will be integrated in the brand-new Wedding Website currently under construction. Cape Town Weddings What is relevant for Cape Town Weddings is probably desired by all newly wed couples, especially if their families and friends are spread all over the world as is the case here: they want some photos as fast as [...] Continue reading

Green Energy and TeleComs in Africa
Green Energy and TeleComs in Africa With the new year having started, and following on my article earlier HERE, one of my focus in 2012 also in terms of Web Design will be on “Green Energy”, picking up on a chapter I’ve always been actively involved in, also in my film work in Europe. I’ve spent some time over the holiday season to finally catch up on the African situation as a whole and South Africa in particular. After a number of discussions following COP 17 in Durban, I dug through heaps of materials collected at the AfricaCom Communications Congress in Cape Town (November 2011) to find out more about the correlation of Green Energy and TeleComs in Africa. While “going green” has sort of become a marketing cliche that doesn’t rip people from their chairs anymore, the fact is that climate change and greenhouse gases affect and concern each and everyone of us – even down here in the relatively green boonies – and we better become aware of their potentially devastating impact on our environment, us as people and especially future generations. Looking at the map indicating projected climatic changes for Africa – especially also for South Africa [...] Continue reading

Irish Wedding Ceremony
Irish Wedding Ceremony While the rendering of a complex After Effects Project in connection with our final Ycademy Seminar 2011 takes up almost all time and memory on my PC right now – with renderings of single items projected over 15 hours and more… (…ooooh, I can forget everything else for the time being…), my main focus is on the preparation of a Wedding Website based on Wedding Photos taken earlier this week. Here’s a picture of what I call the Irish Wedding Ceremony. Irish Wedding Ceremony While an Irish Wedding Ceremony has many intricacies, here I just show a mother’s very loving hands as they pass something very meaningful to her daughter, the bride.

Cape Town Wedding Photography
Cape Town Wedding Photography Cape Town Wedding Photography by Bianca Gubalke - this photo was taken yesterday, just when the first rays of the sun broke through the rainy morning clouds… It was the moment when the bride was ready to leave home to enter a new chapter in her life! Cape Town Wedding Photography Cape Town Wedding Photography is the foundation of the Wedding Website I am developing over the next weeks on a WP based Semiomantics Script – possibly a new website development alltogether. The wedding was yesterday; now it’s sifting and sorting time to choose from the best wedding photos and the wedding videos to create what will eventually become a Family Album Online.
