So I didn’t end up doing the music video this weekend and moreso, the deadline for the short film to be made if I didn’t end up doing the music video got pushed forward so much, that it wouldn’t have been finished in time. Not on the scale and scope that I’m planning to do it on. Which is good, cause it gives me time to make the scale and scope just a little bigger.

So… instead of making one whole film, I’ve nearly completed two half finished films that, for the last year, have been lying around in various states of ‘not finished’. It quite bewildering that I’ve left them lying around like this for as long as they have and I’ve got at least a couple of other things filmed that just need editing and a little post work done as well, but for now I’ll concentrate on these two shorts. Which will hopefully be done in time for this deadline, let alone this year.

So I might be shooting a music video this weekend. I’m not quite sure. The date was pencilled in a while ago but so far not much has been heard on it.

But elsewise, I’ve taken a offer to contribute a short film to a touring film festival that’s intended to showcase the Waikato or Hamilton region or something. So, to make something specifically for the show, I’m going to spend the next few days, and moreso the weekend (if I’m not filming a music video instead) to make a film about nothing. Not to say that Hamilton is nothing (though pretty close according to some), but the intention is to not plan anything, not script anything and just use whatever resources I’ll have available at the time. That also include equipment, actors, props, locations and food. And thats not to say nothing means I don’t have an idea in my head what exactly it’s about or how to do it, but that I have a concept of a story and of the format, but I want to keep the process very experiment and very spontaneous.

And hey, if it all fucks up and collapses on itself, I’ll just use an old short film or something instead.

I seem to keep forgetting to blog things. Here’s a local high school band’s video that was hastily put together for their rockquest entry. Thats me saying watch it more for listening to the music than watching the actual images.

The Mercury Prize award is on tonight, well, in the UK at least. I wonder if i can be viewable online. But either way, lots of good acts should be on and quite a few albums nominated I’m pretty keen to win. But probably want it for Radiohead cause I’m a biased ammoral fan like that. Though these guys called Portico Quartet are pretty cool too…

I’d completely forgotten to upload it and was only reminded it wasn’t up last night, so finally here is our regional winning 48 Hours film: “Sum of All Parts”

Also artworks section has finally been uploaded, though not updated since the old site. New drawings to come soon. Almost feels like there’s progress going on with this site…

Dear fucking god I am tired. Have been meaning all week to post something about what I’ve been doing, but simply haven’t had the time or energy to do so. At best it’s been either nothing or a video filled with fucking furries, but hey, I’m still here for you.

So yeah, for the past week its been work, filming, the odd Bill Bailey (which was awesome) and more work. Hopefully it’ll all quiet down soon for me to focus on things I had meant to focus on last week before things got hectic and amongst which, I’ll get to finish building what’ll be one sweet facebook profile picture, cause I haven’t had a new one for months now. It’s very important to me like that.

…Once again I get the time to sit down and blog about stuff and nothing comes to mind. All week I’ve been constructing in my head bits and pieces that will be this blog post all about this, that and the other group of stuff and thoughts and thinking on blah, blah, blahs… but right now I’m sitting in front of the computer and all that’s coming out of my head is: ‘blah, blah, blah… wasn’t this something important you wanted to post about? Hey, how about you just write about how you can’t write about anything. Stretch out a whole goddamn paragraph about your retarded so called writers block that is really retarded brain thinking. You could totally keep this train of thought going and it’d be so fucking meta, Shakespeare would spit in his coffee’. Whatever… I’m Batman.

Sleeping for only four hours and then filming in waist level freezing temperature waters.
