That's the amount of nights in the past week i've gone without sleep. I'd love to say all of them were for work, but it just ain't the truth. Two were for work the other two were for plesure. First off there was Wednesday, that was work. It was spent getting on top of all the paperwork I had to do for my film, that wasn't easy keeping my head from bobbing up and down but somehow I made it with out any caffine related drinks either.
As Friday was the hand in date for everything Thursday was spent Editing both mine and Liam's films on my PC, which to be honest isn't really fast enough for editing but neither of us trust the PC's at uni, so we soldiered on. That night was aided by many caffine related products, namely two bottles of Sainsbury's own version of red bull... B L U E B O L T ! ! !
Friday was technically the day we broke up, so Saturday was the day of a break up party mainly to say goodbye to all the second years, who now get to leave Kidderminster (Luky bastards!) and do thier third year somewhere that's actually worthy of the title of University. Barbeques and beer were what kept me going through that night. Although I hadn't intended staying up all night, it was just one of those nights where it was always gonna happen.
Which brings me nicely on to Monday. Now me and my mate John have spoke about doing something for many years. Something that we only had one chance to do in the way we wanted. Something that when it came around seemed dammed never to happen due to neither of us being able to fit it in. Our origional plan for Monday was supposed to go as follows:
Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 but all six count em six Star Wars film in one day. Oh yes my friends I have been to the promised land and it looks damn fine. What an experience though, I always dreamt of doing it this way when the final chapter finally came out. For the longest time I didn't think it would happen, but I guess some things are just written in the stars! This time it was Tessco's own version of red bull... K I C K ! ! that got me through the night.
So four days, one week, no sleep. It's been a bitch, but it's the type of bitch you just can't stay mad at no matter what!

- Go for a simple starbucks.
- Have a catch up chat as we haven't really spoke for a while.
- John Would then take me back to Kidderminster.

Thats me at the moment. My brain feels abosotively frazzled. I've got the script finished, storyboards and and the shot breakdown are mostly finished, i'm getting my shooting schedule together which isn't easy. Trying to find the right balance for everyone involved has been a right pain in the arse. The guy playing my main character can't do it because of time constraints, which means i've had to juggle about a few people and now i'm acting in it as well as directing and pretty much producing, so now i'm learning lines as well as everything else. Not to mention trying to do my camera and lighting assignment, production resources pack, post production assignment, 1000 word evaluations for all of the above, trying to edit a weekly video diary on the progress of my film and working on the tittle sequences for the film.
So yeah i've been a little busy lately, but then again then i'm not one to moan about it!
Here's a little test shot I did for my film the other day
