..making wishes would be easier, the B.o.b song, awesome, anyway i think i might just make this a weekly thing, like we all know, the road to bad is paved with good intentions, so i mays well just do it weekely and know i can rather than promise daily and know i cant.
Some idiot threw a letterbox through the rear windshield of my austin. of all the cars in the world it HAD to be mine, i wanted to tak that mailboxand bash whoever it was in the head repeatedly with the mailbox and shout, "You've got mail bitch!" but ill never know who did it, like the bastards that robbed me last year. why does nobody ever do these gutless things in my face so i can smack some common sense into them? thus, the question answers itself.
anyway, now im borrowing my younger brothers car which handles like a spaceship compared to my F16 fighter jet (no turbo lol) but now the speedometers gone it, hoping its a one off but if i pick up my wife later and i still cant see how fast im going its gonna mean MORE bills. ps. i cant fix the rear windshield cos theres no parts in chch for it so trademe.co.nz it is (local auctionsite)
Working on album at the moment, was oing to install protools but then remembered ive lost the installation disc somewhere, which sucks, its like having a car and no gas...
Saw 4th kind yesterday morning. real or not? that aside, pretty creepy film....wow
thinking of starting a webcomic online, stay posted and i will share the website that way i will a)eventually be able to discard my video job and b)mean a pssive income and c)get an awareness for my creative progress....it might nto get as successful as megatokyo.com but i hope it does enoguh to survive :P
anyway got to go, work tomo and soccer tonight so i got to stay focused and not get so distracted by big bang theory and making music--got to draw, i sued to love drawing! now asll i think of is how much time it takes lol, got to find the love again...

Thursday 6th May 2010- my 3 weeks of heaven, hell and glory
Hi guys!! :)
Ive missed reporting the last 3 weeks! good thing im not a reporter, but for those who are interested in what i have been up to...
48 hours 2010
THis year for 48 hours film competition we drew femme fatale. i know! what the hell? but we worked with it and this is what we ended up with...called broken vows the only title we could all agree on but i was keen on crimes of passion as it reflected my arty approach lol -check it, happy people liked my performance even if they didnt get the movie....

and here is some of the reviews from the 48hours review site (for those that saw the film)
#1
This is another film that I just couldn't figure out the story to. I think it was something about money and boys. The broken toy was a throwaway shot at the start of the film, which was handed in in the wrong aspect ratio.
There is satisfaction to be had in the line "What are you, some kind of femme fatale?", but only in the purely 48hours sense.
I think the root of the issue is that the genre seems to have thrown the team somewhat - something that Femme Fatale seems to be doing quite a bit. I suppose it's a genre that doesn't really exist nowadays - at least, not in the way that it used to. The same goes for a couple of the genres this year, actually. 1/5

Generally a good movie, however the video quality was not very good, probably were pushed for time. The story is simply yet effective about a woman taking down all those responsible for stealing her money or so it seems. With some great after and before shots (yes i mean it in that order as the story is told in flashbacks) scenes like a broken doll being stood on at the start of a film to one of the final scenes in the film being the lead giving the doll to his love.
With some funny lines like "What are you, some kind of femme fatale?", which kinda tells the audience hey we so did not want that genre and I don't blame them.
All and all the music was pretty well done with a mix of horror meets the dance club.
Not everyone will get what the film is about, it up there will those intelligent confusing movies like Memento, but if you paid close attention to the fine details then you should understand the film very easily.
In the end, not a bad effect for an annoying genre. 4/5

Liked this short, apart from the bad quality. Story was told in a rather original way, compared with others in the heat. The lead femme fatale had this sexy, innocent vibe about her which made it very entertaining when she was killing all the male characters. The Male characters all were totally different to each other, which i also liked. Good try team. 3.2/5

This is a hard genre i suppose, they probably werent very comfortable with it assuming they only had one girl in their team. The industry dont make that kind of genre as much as they used to.
I bet it was very challenging for them. The girl was playing very safe expressing no emotions but plain innocence with no sign that she will cause trouble.
One bold character that was entertaining was the minor guy washing the car. He actually made it clear to the audience that the movie was a femme fatale genre.
All in all, it wasnt a bad short. Just bad luck for the team. 1/5

(just a selection of ones there, got 12 in all but yeah most are ones, twos and 3's, oh well -theres always next year :) haha -also considering all the home drama/little team but lionshare of work and being broke i consider the film a success even if the ones i count on the most dont support me and willed me to lose everyday for the next 2 weeks even after im proud of me at least. plus they stuffed it up onscreen and said the wrong team name so had to go before...argggh...its over already, im forgetting on purpose..)
