Second project, Untitled
There’s a lot I should have gone in to, regarding the current project, in the past few weeks except I’ve just got a terrible habit of straying away from tumblr. Well I’m here now and so very excited on getting started with this. Things started off great, to horrible, then worse to now excellent! Only three weeks until we start filming. I suppose anything can happen i.e. actors...

Next stop, the book store!
I desperately want to go buy books that I just won’t read anytime soon.

Oh bloody hell Tim Burton
The latest Empire Magazine slips through my letter box this morning. So as per usual, I flick through without really spending too much time on articles which is a shame because there are some really interesting things in there. What catches my attention, above all, is a small little yellow box with the title ‘PINOCCHIO’. The inside of my head erupts and my imagination takes a leap in...

Taking a step through genres
My next film project, under particular objectives to note and follow, consists of an individual who finds himself conscious in a world unlike his own. He travels through a series of genres. While feeling overwhelmed with confusion he has no choice but to venture through these areas. Areas which will be designed by me and my team. Our choice of genres which we will design are: Horror, Film Noir and...

The journey of Taz and the Jenkins Family
After successfully completing my script to the requirement of 2200 word count, I gave myself a thought. Quite clearly this idea mustered together shares a considerable amount of my affection. To which case I believe I will take one step further, or rather in this context a leap further! Hopefully by summer, or latest by the end of the year I will stretch or comfortably extend the story of...

Writer's Block, The Nightmare Shattered
I’ve just about finished a screenplay as part of an assignment for one of my film degree modules. I had the initial idea all wrapped in my head, and the more I wrote about it the more excited I became. However, it got to a point where my mind was blank. I had no idea where to go from the point I stopped at. It was odd. Since starting the screenplay I had began reading a book by Syd Field -...

2012, the year I climb mountains
I’ve had some great opportunities this year, the year of the rabbit (and yes, I’m aware this doesn’t end till near the end of January). I’ve experienced working with a professional television company, and with a friend, nearly lost our sanity due to the extensive hard work. However, seeing my name at the end of the credits made it all so worthwhile. Travelling to Ibiza with...

Immortals (2011)
I need to clear up some confusion here. Everyone is under the impression that Zack Snyder was the director of this film, or even partially involved in some way or another, when actually it was just the producers. To be honest, I thought he was also but to my disappointment I was wrong. Perhaps it would have ended up better or worse if he had taken control, it’s impossible to tell now. In...

A bid farewell and good luck to an old friend
Recently, or several months ago our friendship stirred ungracefully, thankfully we’ve mended together the pieces, but haven’t really stayed in touch since. I know I’m giving the impression that we’re never going to talk again, but that’s not it at all, and obviously there are ways to stay in touch.
Everyone’s growing up! As obvious as it is, it...

Over eight hours and we cut!
I left my house at 10:15. Waking up slightly late to what I planned. Ignoring three alarm calls would answer that. After picking up some of the helpers and meeting the other crew members at the set, it didn’t take us long to get started. Well actually, it took us nearly an hour to rearrange the entire student bar and set up lighting and camera. I was definitely confident in being able to...

I got thirty seconds to go
My second assessed project will take action tomorrow morning. I am yet again driving all the equipment from point A to B! My car is not at it’s greatest form and being lowered is another problem. Thankfully there isn’t as much to carry as there was during the first assignment.
We’ve been asked to make a thirty second advertisement which would appeal to students. Our options were...

There and back again
I’ll be attempting to make more of an effort in to relaying what I learn, and perhaps briefly shortened, in any way or form and publish them here. I’ve completely drop kicked ‘Documentary: Theory’ aside. I suppose without the practical beside it, it became dull and somewhat pointless for me to get in to. I thought I was doing the right thing with expanding my options and...
