Long Time!!

I have just looked at my last blog in it was in JULY!!!! Time is just flying by.

This weekend I am shooting another poetry film for the version film festival. I decided to shoot a poem by Tony Walsh called Sometimes, it is being shot in Blackpool and Prestwich. I have decided for the first time i am going to use a DSLR, basicly a stills camera with video capability. The main advantage for me is the shallow depth of field. I love the way feature films can get that expensive filmic look because of the frame size.
Its like when you watch a making of video, they shoot it on video and it looks RUBBISH and then you see the final film cut, Brilliant.
Jimmy Foster (from cold feet, shameless) has said he will do the acting for me, which is great thank you Jimmy.

Right i am off to pick up my DSLR (EOS 5DMK2) and prime lenses, probably a 85mm and a 120mm f1.8 should do. Did i say i was filming at night, i have no idea if this is going to work out, exciting isn't it. Film will be on the website early November.
