So….um ok guys it’s you’re call! Let me know what you think, and I’ll decide whether or not there will be a next week - or like the ill fated ‘Firefly’ this too will be axed…
It’s not long now till the start of my looooooong weekend. I’m hoping the weather stays the way it has been behaving today, cool, crisp, refreshing and sunny with a light wind! I’m quite fired up internally about doing a VLOG; even if it ends up just being a one off - because lets face it; I ain’t the most photogenic?! One problem I can’t get through my head is what sort of camera to use, do I just get a bog standard ‘webcam’ which can be picked up in most stores, or do I save a bit more money and go for a more expensive digital camera? The latter would be nice since I could go out and about and ’share’ some of Wellington with you guys back in the UK???
What to do….What to DO?!!!
I’m sure I’ll come up with an idea by Monday - in the meantime I am jotting down a few storyboard ideas - well!! I gotta have ’some’ sort of structure even if it is on a Vlog! I’m a purfectionist (well…sometimes) - and on a more positive note, I won today’s lunchtime poker game!! Which makes about three wins and two 2nd places for this month, I take that as a good omen for this weekend
I’ll probably blog again later on. I watched ‘Hero’ starring Jet Li last night - it’s a pretty cool flick - I’d LOVE to be able to walk and fly across water like they do in that film….hmmmm (scribbles down mental note to figure out a way of doing this in a vlog)….
edit - ‘actually’ if any of YOU have any ideas or suggestions of what I could do for my first VLOG then please, leave me a comment here….no really!! PLEASE!! =p
You’ve all seen the film ‘Minority Report’ with Tom Cruise right? Well, I’ve just seen a new piece of technology in action that could have been taken directly from the film! This is a major GEEK alert video, so if you are not into all things GEEKY then move along please!
So we have reached the midway marker of yet another week, I’m still at work, and will be heading up Ngiao again tonight for band practise; and maybe a bit more recording =p I heard a sneak preview of one of our pieces the other day and hardly recognised it, sounded like some other ‘A’ grade band?! It was awesome in other words, and I now can’t wait to have my own copy of the finished CD….is that vain? meh what the heck!! I don’t care!
I’m currently doing a little reading up on chroma-keying and such for my first attempt at ‘film-making-on-a-budget’ I am currently looking at getting some cheap matt panels (green) for the background, and I am looking at getting some reasonably soft lighting for them to reduce the chance of reflections and bleeding etc…add some Povray Ray-Tracing, a little imagination and about 3 months to compile the ray-tracing to broadcast quality~!! Then I think I will be ready…
Well I wanna make a bit of an impression?! Oh and in other news I have rediscovered the wonderful and sexy Imogen Heap; downloaded one of her albums and just can’t stop listening to it, to describe the style it’s a bit like Enya but far more original in my humble opinion and diverse for that matter! Anyways - I want her to have my babies!!! =p
In other news? It’s the Queens birthday on Monday which is awesome for me in NZ - coz it means I get a day off work (it’s a public holiday here), makes me question why it ain’t a public holiday in the UK, like we don’t have enough of them there already!!? Anyhoo - have a good’un and I’ll blog ya later….
