10 More Days To Go
I’ve been falling back on blogging recently thanks to severe hayfever. Not being able to breathe through my nose has meant mainly sleepless nights, and ineffective days. Being under a haze of exhaustion and meds rarely leads to concise thoughts, so I thought it best to refrain from ranting online.
Since wrapping on “Vincent”, I’ve taken [...]
Waiting.
We’re waiting on Apple App Store approval. At this point in time, the only thing that is keeping Ali and I from getting our latest piece of work out to the world, is that we need to get the app submitted to the App Store for approval.
We’re also looking for someone who lives in London [...]
HTC Desire
So a bit of geek blogging today.
I first got into smartphones back in 2004/2005 by way of a HTC TyTn on T-Mobile, followed by the TyTn 2. At the time, the only other person who would know what I was talking about was Ali Maggs. No one in the consumer market were really using [...]
Next…
Spent the last few days recovering from falling sick as soon as we wrapped on Vincent. Gave me the chance to allow myself to switch off, and not deal with much work. The ball is still rolling on the short though. Mazin collected all the rushes yesterday, and has handed it over to the editor [...]
The Night Before
So here we are. After 6 weeks of talking, writing, plotting, begging and everything else that is part and parcel of indie filmmaking, here we are the night before shoot.
It’s been a whirlwind of a day. I met with Paula the 1st AD and our lovely PAs Yee Sien and Ennes. Mazin, Brian and I [...]
Live Video Blogging From The Set
So starting tomorrow, I am going to have a go at live-streaming, using Ustream off my iPhone and my netbook as we kick off the “Vincent” shoot.
We don’t start till Saturday, but tomorrow has a lot going on, so I figured I would use it as a test day. I turned on the app a [...]
Nothing Remains Static In The Last Week Before A Shoot
Yesterday I was pretty chuffed. I had locked everything. Crew, locations, equipment, insurance. There were no loose ends, it was Wednesday and we were shooting Saturday.
This was rare and a good thing.
I should have known it could only last so long because last night our focus puller had to pull out (and no, I am [...]
The Benefit Of The Face To Face
You hear it time and time again; nothing beats meeting someone face to face. I will say that for the first time ever, I’ve really seen it in action on this production.
Almost 3 weeks ago, Mazin and I did the trek up to Uxbridge to pop into ARRI and meet the folks up there face [...]
It Was A Helluva Feeling
We bought our film stock today from Fuji in Soho.
Mazin and I went in, asked for the deal they’re running with iLab and bought four 400ft cans of 64D. When I made the payment for the stock, paying such a large amount really nailed it home that this short film is going to be a [...]
