Get Out Clause

Pescatarians, they’re like vegetarian lawyers that found a loop hole that lets them be hypocrites, a sort of “lets have our cake and eat it too” policy.

Moving Out

Often times people say “we had some good times and some bad times” but here at Evelyn Road
(03:52 Friday the 17th of July 2009) we just had some times. Sometimes we got on, sometimes we didn’t. Sometimes there were house politics and bitchyness, there were gender divides and foolish prides, the loss of friendship and the gain of denial and the birth of almost passionate hatred. We grew towards a light photos-synthesised our lives for the masses on Facebook.

Yesterday the 16th was a crucial day for not only myself but for Chris, Dan and Casper as the road to Edinburgh just got one stop closer, the group rehersals finally ended as did the amazing show Firefly. Serenity sits through a wall in Dan’s room, his passion for such a fascinating show is admirabal.

Going back to the present day as the time ticks ever closer to that magical 4am, I sit here with an aching back and a strange sense of pride and discovery at the end of another crazy year of friendships and frolics and I wonder what lays ahead of me.

Edinburgh. Moving out over Saturday and Sunday. EDINBURGH. Re-doing failed essays. FAIL, FAILURE FAILED !!!!! Essays. Edinburgh. Maybe I’ll see Rhi. Sarah is a faded memory of good times with a great deal of betrayal (the lie from that night and the kiss) and missleading. Rachel well she jumped ship on one of my potentially happiest times this year, but thats fine if shes not meant to be then she isn’t it cut deep at the time as much as I did at the time with regard to other things.

Moving out, not moving on.

This Sh*T Just Got Real

Just an idea i came up with when I was writing the intro text to the website.

It plays on the whole extremes and also incorporates an element of “Policing/Sherwood Knights/Red Beret” stuff

Imp-Teractive Media Strikes!!!

Brian and Ceeg UNLEASH the power of castle grey skull with some very basic ideas for the website and a rather awesome looking logo for the government scheme.

AND NOW FOR THE LOGO!!!

I’m getting to grips with this blog thing now. Found it more useful for thought tracking and progressional analysis << lol big words eh…?

Just a few concept pictures…

Well I took it upon myself as a photoshop addict to mock up some ideas….

I thought some of the interactive content could look possibly like this… and some of it was inspired by the idea of having the militia similar to the Sherwood nights and the red hats in New York.

and another crazy idea!!

Layout ideas.
The black space was just space to make notes in like a margin the middle bit is how in my head i figured it might work nicely.

If we did use this layout we could find random picture of people or use some of the budget to get an Arts Int photo student to take some prof looking shots =]

Just some random image I was playing around with to do with the whole neighbourhood watch symbol and the camera being handed out.

Filling In The Gaps In Time

Wow… its April… I’m really not keeping up with this as well as I should have… or rather will do in the future…. Would like to highlight a few points tho…

1. Scriptwriters should stick to writing!!! The project where we had to produce one of our modules was… well aweful… the people teaching us were very patronising and even came out with some ridiculous one liners like “it picks up sound from multiple directions like telescope.” That makes no sense as telescope is not an omni directional microphone!!! I studied media production for 2 years so I know what I mean… and I felt patronised so much at times by the baby way we were taught. Fair enough some people hadn’t used cameras before but I’m sure they felt the same way.
2. I’m very excited about the up and coming summer project!! Its going to be so much fun! I love the idea I can actually observe and be part of a process that flows from word to screen to site. Just incredible lol.. god I sound like an idiot… but its gonna be the best unit of the year I can just tell!!!

3. Not really too happy with how some of the units have gone this year… coulda done a lot better… think I’ve screwed up the Claudia essay…
4. I cant help wondering what the teachers think of me as a writer… Feedback is so scattered and unfair at times… each marker has it seems their own marking systems.

Mastering Motivation For The Masses

Today I feel really good. I’ve had a great few days and I’m riding the crest (roka in Japanese) of a wave. I wrote 5 pages today. Story is going okay I have a few twists in the story that im excited about. I hate that one day I can write 10 pages and other days I can write as few as 2 or 3… its all about motivation… I will soldier on… I can do this!!!

Bull-dozing off-my-rocker!!!

Well blimey its been quite a long time since I last wrote something so its probably a good time to write something here… I’m brainstorming some side project ideas atm. My organisation skills still leave something to be desired… I seem to just plow into the work like some kinda bulldozer and it just shoves a big wedge into everything and goes a bit wrong… I need to sort myself out… I’m already fighting with an on going depression I’ve had for several years… and when it waxes and wanes in and out of my life it really does little to inspire me and shoots my confidence down really badly. I can’t write today. I feel like shit. I just cant picture properly the female lead role in this project at the mo… I don’t wanna force the idea incase I ruin it… I feel like I should cry out for help but… I’m just so tired of feeling so useless and worthless I need some self-respect before I admit to needing some help.

Visions, Sites & Images

Had a realisation today… ya know all the complaining of the last post was a bit wasted really….

I has a forhead-hittinglyy-oh-god-how-could-I-be-so-slow moment today in a seminar. I’ve been writing poetry for over 5 years now and that is all about imagery. So as long as I just focus on the scene description in heavy detail and think less about trying to put dialogue into a situation we’ll see how it flows together. I remembered Joyride from my BTEC Media course at Bridgwater and was thinking maybe I could do something along those lines.

I have to pitch my ideas soon. I was more worried a week or so ago but I’m actually quite happy about it now. I’ve tried to relax more and think of it more as a brainstorming session with a group of friends. I am still slightly nervous of being overly criticized, but I figured that was a natural reaction anyway so all I can say today is BRING ON THE FEEDBACK!!!! Be gentle though please lol!!

Not Today Thanks

FUCK IT… I just cant… no words… just images… jesus Christ that’s like… well I don’t know what its like… its like something very annoying….
