Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my very first Blog page! It's 2006 (Happy New Year Everybody) and I thought it's about time I started a Blog to share my thoughts and rants online.

I'm fairly new to this so please bear with me.

Being a new Blog site, I haven't had many visitors yet. If you've come here directly, chances are you're one of my friends I have e-mailed this site's URL. If not, then welcome! You may find some useful tidbits of info here from time to time. Or not. It all depends on what you find useful or interesting.

I've set up this Blog to let my friends, or anyone else who has too much time on their hands, see what I've been up to in my life. As I get busier and busier with work and my own films, I end up seeing less and less of my friends. So I figure a Blog Site is the best way for my friends, and anyone else who's interested, to see what I've been up to.

So sit back, crack a few knuckles and toes, and enjoy.

About Myself...or Who the F#ck is King-Pin?
My name is David King-Pin Lei. And yes, King-Pin is my real name. It's the English spelling of my Chinese Name. Many of my friends have told me that they think King-Pin is a cool name and that I should start using it. I've finally given way and have recently started using it. I dunno... I had always thought it was a pretty dorky name, but I have finally seen the light.

I graduated from Ryerson University's Radio and Television program in Toronto, Canada in the summer of 1999. I work fulltime and am currently pursuing a career in Film and Television. I've been writing/directing/shooting short videos/digital films since high school. Last year, with the help of friends, family and collegues, I shot my first independent (read no budget) feature-length film. That was quite the undertaking by its own right. I am currently in post production; which takes forever when you and your friends all have fulltime jobs and can only devote parttime on it.

I'm also a computer geek in a big way! I've been working/playing with computer graphics and digital FX since the late 1980's. My first computer was the Commodore Amiga, an amazing graphics/animation machine that started the whole desktop video revolution back when PCs could only do 32 colours. Many of my friends who now work in Post Production/Digital FX/Animation cut their teeth on the Amiga. Maybe I'll do a blog on the Amiga sometime.

That's basically me in a nutshell...okay a BIG nutshell. I just love how blogs enable us to express our thoughts and ideas so freely. And I have a lot of them. I also have lots of videos I shot over the years that I never had the opportunity (or balls) to show around. In the days, weeks ahead I'll post them up as soon as I find out how to post videos.

Thanks for visiting.
