Long time no blog

Boy have I ever neglegted this place! I have good reason though, Alas I no longer have the internet. It really fucking sucks without the net, I never realised how much time I spent on it. I only get to go on now when i come back to my mum and dads.

Oh! that reminds me I did move out! I've been living in my own house in Kidderminster for about a month now. Moving out has it's low points and it's high points but all in all it's pretty cool and i'm having a laugh which is the main thing.

My first film "A Superheroes Day Off" has been shot. I edited together a rough cut of it the other day and it doesn't look too bad. There's a few things hat don't work too well, mainly because of I didn't have the right mindset when I shot it. I showed the rough cut of it to a freind of mine on the course and he told me that I need to start thinking from an editing point of view when I'm filming. Thats so true, Mainly because this is the first film i've done so i was kind of working blind in a way. But i've already learnt a lot from my mistakes on this one shoot.

I've got a few guidelines to follow as well. The film can be no longer than 5 minutes 30 seconds and at the moment it is 7 minutes without credits and a few cutaways i've got to add in. I'm going to have to cut a few scenes I think. Also i'm only alowed 50 words of dialog... I have 77! The next film should be interesting though it has to be ten minutes to the frame, it can't be a hundreth of a second over!! Thats going to be such a bitch.

Me and one of the guys I live with Dave have started coming up with a few ideas for films too, were gonna form our own production company! We started shooting one yesterday, it's about a guy who is dreaming and everytime he enters a new room he is in a different genre of film. We filmed the horror genre yesterday in the really creepy basment of our house. I'm playing the guy who's dreaming so i was covered in fake blood and had a few home made squibs strapped about my person. Suffice to say we got some cool footage and were going to play about with special effects in this one, stufflike blue screen and having two of me on screen at the same time.

I'll post some pictures of the house if I get a chance and when the film is finsihed being edited i'll see if i can make it available to download.

I wish you much peace and love and a sponge bath from supermodels.
