Distant Worlds: music from Final Fantasy

While some people were attending the 林峯 (Raymond Lam) concert, I was at the Sony Centre with two of my geek friends enjoying the Distant Worlds: music from Final Fantasy. The concert was performed by the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and conducted by Arnie Roth. However, it was Nobuo Uematsu who got the loudest applause as he was in house as well!

The concert was definitely a very enjoyable experience for me, and brought back many memories of my days playing FF. The concert was so good that I was motivated to buy “Distant Worlds II: more music from FINAL FANTASY” CD; something which I haven’t done since high school!! Ha ha

Enjoy some of the quick snapshots I took!

Walking with Dinosaurs

During last weekend I had a chance to watch “Walking with Dinosaurs – The Live Experience” at the Air Canada Centre. The 1.5 hours show (excluding intermission) is based on the “Walking with Dinosaur” documentary television series by BBC, and used $20 million dollars to create 15 life-size dinosaurs.

Sitting in the 3 level of ACC, the dinosaurs looked realistic, like the ones seen in the Jurassic Park movie. However, unlike the movie their moments were slow with virtually no action, but of course with each dinosaur costing about $1 million they probably didn’t want to risk any damage to them. =) Other disappointments were seeing the T-bar underneath each dinosaur which they tried desperately to camouflage by making it look like a log, and the sound system in ACC really needs an upgrade as I had trouble listening to the narrator.

Overall, for the price I paid, the show is worth watching. I’ve posted the pictures taken during the show.
