Video (short documentary) & patterns...

From the short field trip that we did form 22-25 july 2010. I managed to capture some videos and I will try to edit it into a short documentary...

will work it on ADOBE PREMIERE....


went to the orang asli museum again... this time to get a closer look at their decorative patterns...

and it can be concluded that their patterns are very similar to each other and uses repetition a lot.
