So I sit a consider the next move for this movie the BBC rang and said they want it, but they have said that before and things seem to move incredibly slowly in this world of moving pictures….I am having to make corporate films to pay the bills which is somewhat soul destroying at times. [...]

Godammit….The edit is finished, at last, I have a movie - the cut is complete all the bits are in the order I want and the story is there and it’s great. That’s what I have been doing these last couple of weeks, stuck in a dark room organising little bits of video. So as [...]

Whoa…it’s been a while since I posted and to tell the truth, I can’t really say why. There’s been slow and painful progress on this film but I have finally sorted out a way to finish it, thanks to the kind folks at Image Creative in London who are letting me finish the edit and [...]

What have I been doing ? I have no idea, mainly I have been cradling my head in my hands wondering how on earth I am going to get this damn film completed. It’s like banging my head against a wall, I should stop, but I can’t - I am convinced that I will knock [...]

Well. I haven’t blogged for a few days because we are having the Easter holiday (derived from ‘holy day’ in case you didn’t know). I find the enforcement of leisure, tiresome at best. But I did spend some of it working on electronic versions of the jug band music in the film - to create [...]
