Thir-fucking-teen. Thirteen!

Uni work:

Finished shoot on Monday for our MALAc film. We were able to begin shooting at 2:30, as we had all of the actors required for the shooting schedule I had written out for our group, however we didn't actually begin shooting until about 4:30pm, since not all of the props had been aquired. By this point, our actress had arrived and hence my shooting shedule made less sense, and we also were without a table, so I had to alter shots to acommodate this - I am pretty confident this is going to lead to a few complications and possibly a disaster when it comes to edit. However, everyone was trying to fulfil roles, which was great, and we have definitely emerged a stronger team and are much better prepared for when it comes to shooting our next scene as a group.

Lost my rag at one point, and resigned as director, shortly before returning to the role. A few things needed to be sorted out in our approach to shooting, but we confronted some of them and are better for it. All in all it was a very long day, but enjoyable.


Finished shoot for the Hockley fashion show tonight. It was fantastic fun. The models all looked absolutely fantastic, and were willing to help out with the occasional request I had. Jools' eyebrows surely at the roof of his head as he reads this saucyness. My man get your vile soul dry-cleaned. Uri was extremely professional for the entire evening, and I was very glad to work with him on the project. Got talking to a nice chinese girl whilst I was there who was selling raffle tickets, she asked if I was the boss, I told her I was the boss of Uri lol. At one point we were running low on card space, Uri actually caught a taxi to his and back just to get his card - what a star. For the next fashion shoot I get us to do I am going to bring a number of cards, and, even though I went along to rehearsals and thoroughly talked over the plans for the night with the people running it, the footage could have benefited with being even more maticulously attentive to detail in our preparation.

Got approached by a woman who ownes 'the charity shop' on Hockley st. who proposed a project for me to shoot some pictures for this aparently quite-big-deal designer in London, but I, grimacingly, had to decline, as I'm not a photographer, I would really only be useful for film. I didn't want to accept, do a bad job and get a bad name for myself, but I appreciated her interest.

After finishing I made sure to go around and thank all the people involved for the oppourtunity, I feel like I made some really great friends/contacts from it, CJ and Phil are waiting on my edit, as is the owner of the bar, Andy Dunn (he spent the entire night in the most stylish coat ever, he must have been a thousand degrees) Then we have this games launch on Friday, so I'll see how that goes. I still have no frigging idea where it is, despite going on a little explore on tuesday.

Two things I am currently focused on is obtaining a super 8 camera and taking some real sweet footage, and also taking some high-frame rate stuff of some models in a studio, for this Hockley cut I'm going to do. Asked around and aparently I don't have anything available immediately to me, however apparently there is some good kit in bonnington that will do exactly what I'm after, I imagine I'd have to fight tooth and nail to get my hands on that; luckily that's just what I intend to do.
