As Promised...

... Heres my documentary.

It's called Catching Up, kind of a lame title but I was very tierd when I came to that part. It's about a few of my old friends from when I did the drama course at Sutton College and how the dreams and expectations we had when we started the course have changed. It's also touches on how despite being so close we've all driffted appart in the last four years. I'm not sure how the text will transfer over to the smaller web version, so if you can't read i'm sorry.



I'm editing a scene from 21 Grams at the momement. I should have that finished and up on the site by the end of the week. It's the bit where the Reverend goes to visit Benicio in prision. I filmed it in our basement (which looks scarily like a prision cell) with Liam and Dan. Liam was well into playing the part of Benico, a little too much if you ask me!

I'll try and get my other films up soon, I got rid of the project file ages ago because I needed the space, so i'll probably have to re-edit them which may take a while. But that ok because it gives me more time on final cut pro.

Well hello there, it's been a while.

I realise that this has probably been my longest hiatus, but it has probably been the busiest i've been for a very long time. I've just been so swamped with work for the last 4 months that everytime i've thought about sitting down and writing a new blog entry it's just seemed like more work. But all my work is more or less out of the way for a little while now so it's finally time to sit down and write about my life.

So first thing I should probably tell you is, i'm an uncle! Yep my sister gave birth to a little girl named Lilly Grace on the 21st of November. Here's a pic of herlilly 1

Isn't she adorable. She's just getting to that stage now where she's laughing which is cool because now when I make stupid noises she reacts instead of just looking at me like i'm and idiot. to be fair she's probably got a point.

I'm getting my ucas form all filled in again so that I can go to Canterbury next year, assuming I get accepted that is. Although I asked a magic 8 ball and it said the outlook looks good, so nothing to worry about there then! Seriously though I can't wait to go there now. I feel like Kidderminster is eating a little bit of my soul each day. So... there's that.

What was the other thing? Damn it I know there's something else. It's on the tip of my tounge if only i could remember. Oh yeah thats it, this

It's great though, i've got a copy of final cut pro 5 so now i've started steps towards becoming Apple certified. I was thinking about my options for when I finish uni and although I love writing, directing and acting i've got to be realistic. The chances of getting a break in one of those fields is slim, so I figure editing is a good way to get my foot in the door. Although I hear you don't see the light of day too much i've been told it's fairly easy to get your foot in the door presuming you know your stuff and the pays not too bad either.

So with my new Ibook i'm going to re-edit amost of my films and make them available online. I've finsihed my documentary too, i'm fairly happy with it. It's about a few of my old friends from sutton college and how our dreams and expectaions have changed since we first started all those years ago. It also deals with how nobody really speaks to each other anymore. I should be able to get that online fairly soon.

There's probably other stuff i'm leaving out but i'll get to that in anoher post when I remember. Keep checking back, even though updates have been few and far between lately.

Heres a link to a film made by a mate of mine on the course. He's actually the first one us to get off thier arse and put something online, so I may as well pimp him for it.
