X-Fighter's Competition Result

Well folks the results are in and.........I didnt win or get runner up :(. However I'm staying positive, I enjoyed editing the footage provide by Dave, especially using Magic Bullet Mojo (colour grading software) for the first time and it got me thinking about my final year ideas which are starting to become less of a jumble in the old think box.

On another positive note I have recieved wonderful feedback from The Adrian Social Club whom I based my film "Last Orders" on, they are very pleased with how the club was shown and very happy that all the troubles facing them were highlighted. Jim Crabbe the secretary of the club wishes to show the film to all the members and everyone involved in making "Last Orders" and make a big doo which would be brilliant.

On that nice little note I'm gonna hit the hay as in the morning I have.......a fence to paint :(

Peace!

Update

Well well well blogging world long time no see! I havnt really had much to update since May, I finished my second year of uni on a lovely 2:1 and have moved house in Stoke-On-Trent. However the past week has been crazy busy with filmy stuff! My website www.DMCFilm.com has finally gone live after months of designing and building it and I cant express enough thanks to my friend and now website manager Thomas Keenan who took on board my ideas and changes without too much fuss. Other great news is that I have entered the Red Bull X-Fighter's Mash-Up 2010 which was for the TV Channel Dave and I'm hoping I am the winner or atleast runner up on that competition as the prizes are a trip to Rome for the final of the X-Fighter's Tour or VIP Tickets for the London leg if Im a runner up, either way i'll find out on the 26th July. The Mash-Up can be found on my new site at www.DMCFilm.com.While slogging around the job circuit for summer work I stumbles across the BBC's Intership program and I have applied for a position in Manchester in October and I'm hoping I'll get that great opportunity.

As you can tell I have a lot of spare time on my hands and one thing that has been bothering me, epecially since seeing Inception at the weekend, is the stagnation of creativity in Hollywood. Am I the only person who does not want a great film ruined by a remake or as they are now being called reboots! Im talking about remakes of such great films as The Crow ( a great film in my books), The Karate Kid and Piranha! Do we really need Mr Miyagi ruined or Brandon Lee's great performance tarnished....personally I think not. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this so why not check out the DMCFilm facebook group?

Right I'm off to watch original films such as Dirty Harry or The Motorcycle Diaries :D Peace!

On a side not Christopher Nolan's Inception is awesome if you havnt seen it.....do!
