So the bug which the most of the world seemed to have got a hold of me which has meant almost a week of sleepless nights due to hacking all night, and days of just trying to get some energy and work up an appetite to eat.
Doctors orders were rest, rest, rest so that meant [...]
I came across this guy via GeekTyrant and I must say that his work is stunning.

Particularly worth checking out are his stop-motion shorts like the Bruce Lee V Iron Man one, but also his little You Tube interactive games such as Joker Bboy which is great fun!
This weekend has been a particularly hectic one. Ali & I had decided that this would be the weekend to lock the movie down so we could start rendering it out to check all the sound levels on his telly and then get it ready to send to Luke to start work on colour and [...]
A little change of scene here tonight as I help out a mate of mine, George Mann, to try and get some further word out on a great piece he’s devised with his company, Theatre Ad Infinitum.
I’ve been to watch a lot of indie theatre before, and more often than not you end up stuck [...]
I met Benji in a sort of round about way. He had been in high school with me but I kinda just knew of him rather than actually know him.
When we started putting out crew ads for S’kali, I was still in London. It was in the evening and at the time Samantha & I [...]

I’ve spent a lot of time blogging about myself and my work on here, so I figured it’s about time I talk a little about the people I work with closely.
Bahir Yeusuff & I met in high school and got to know each other better whilst we were in a band. Bahir played bass, I [...]
The past few weeks have been spent sorting out the sound on the movie. Ali & I have essentially been bringing in all the clean sound that Sebastien recorded on the Marantz PMD660 and synching it up with the picture, using the sound recorded on camera as the guide track.
Compared to S’kali the work has [...]
The one thing I cannot abide about some fellow filmmakers is how they lose the ability to go in and watch a movie without analysing it like a filmmaker immediately. Movies are to be watched and enjoyed, to be experienced and like any other film nerd, I thrive on anticipating movies.
Last year I spent all [...]
So I don’t know if a lot of indie filmmakers who are starting out are dropping by the blog or not, but if there are, I realised I’ve blogged quite a bit about writing but not as much as directing.
At this point, I have worked primarily as a feature director on projects we have developed [...]
