squeezing it in

i finally got around to catching up with lafaro at their recent london gig - see my previous blog entry for a tasty wee video. i've also started a facebook page for the doc where i'll be posting bits and bobs like photos, micro blogs etc so head over and become a fan or like it or whatever it is you do!

running up that hill...

I got into a stride for a while with the doc. and i'm really excited about the project again, after talking to ash and andrew from sta about the whole project as well as what sta have planned for the year ahead. so i completed a rough cut of about 75% of the film and handed it over for feedback, which was encouraging - i feel that i'm heading in the right direction after all. And i will be getting some help with filming some of the things that i can't get to - things going on back home in northern ireland for example. Its all looking good to have a finished product by the end of the year.

kick in the arse

I met up with Ash and Andrew from STA last night to have a chat about the doc. it has reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the project - i now have a real goal to aim for with their help and encouragement. I can see an end in sight even though the discussions have resulted in even more planned shoots. Today i revisited what i had done to this point and mostly swapped a few bits and pieces around. the run time is now at about 55 minutes but even at this stage there is flab to cut out - maybe i'll save that for a directors cut. i've also been thinking that it might be an idea to resume the video diaries - i found them useful in the past for reflecting on what i'd done and where to go next, as well as keeping everyone up to date on the production progress. if time allows, they will return! but now alas, its off to bed for me!

fundamental Terracism

post-production rumbles on with the documentary. watched back the interview i did with Moi Non Plus this morning on my i-pod whilst lying in bed. the idea of having rushes on my i-pod was so that i could log at my leisure without having to have to sit in front of final cut. but i just sat in bed and watched. they were great guys to talk to but i failed on the logging task!

tomorrow, i'm off to meet up with Daniel from STA for a side project. the clue is in the title. very exciting!
