10,000 views on 3 episodes of SAWPC

Well, I was planning to release the 4th episode of San Andreas Wildest Police Chases when I had reached 10,000 views together on all 3 episodes, but I've already broken that number, and have only just started to get footage for the 4th episode.

 

I have had a surge in views over the last week, so in the last 2 weeks, I've had like 3,500 views, which I really didn't expect.

 

Oh, well, at least its popular - especially the second episode!

Science Festival Edit

I'm working on the science festival edit, and Mark has chosen to let me be in sole charge of the whole edit, SO, I'll be making the trailer for next years festival, and a short film promoting the festival in general, PLUS editing the whole Katch gig footage, This is just what I wanted to do, and it speaks volumes that Mark has enough faith in me and my skills to leave me in sole charge, and represent Frozen Moon in this way.

 

Oh, and there's a possibility of working on a feature length film soon - just thought I'd tease you with a titbit of information, more to follow soon

San Andreas Wildest Police Videos Episode 4?

My 3 episodes of San Andreas Wildest Police Videos have now collectively been viewed 6,449 times, as of 15:14 on 3rd Apr, 2007.

 

Now, I have had some people asking for a fourth episode, and I'm considering it, I have footage I put to one side, and I'm sure I could make another one, but make it even better than all 3 put together.

 

I'm thinking of waiting until the 3 episodes have been viewed a total of 10,000 times, then releasing the 4th episode, which means I will have to start working on it now then... Well, after the current filming shoot I'm on.

Practice shoot for film festival final

I'm heading over to the William Aston hall tonight, where 'Katch' are setting up their equipment and making a sound check in preparation for tomorrow.

 

I'm going to be taking notes on which shots to get, where to stand so I don't get in the way of the band, and just do a general practice run for tomorrow, should be good

Wrexham Science Festival Day 7 Part 2

OK, so just after sending the last post off, I thought,'Hey, instead of talking about what I'm doing right now, I could have talked about Saturday!' so here it is...

 

Saturday was a good day, apart from the waiting around at the beginning, but then I guess its like that on any film shoot/event.

 

We started off by splitting into 2 teams, Mark and Julie filming some kind of stop-motion thing with kids, and me going off, and finding out where all the main attractions were. Turns out most of them were in the sports centre - even a Robot Wars exhibition! (which featured the real life bots called 'wheely big cheese' and some other name I cant remember now) but the point is... It was really busy.

 

For me, the highlight was filming the live birds that were on show, they were amazingly calm, and obviously used to being watched by loads of people. I got some really close detailed shots, and some golden shots of kids holding the birds while stroking them - golden they were!

 

Later on, there was a few other attractions such as a cholocatier, dino digs, and a live linkup to another building on the other side of the country, but the real fun came when we were on our way back to the main building.

 

On the way there, we saw that the birds that had previously been inside, had been taken outside, and were flying all around. at one point, I was aiming the camera at one of the birds, and it started to fly right towards me. I was thinking 'man, I wanna get this shot, its amazing!' but on the other hand, I was thinking 'man, I don't want to loose an eye' - the latter thought won out, and I ducked, just as the bird flew to the left of me, to a handler which was waiting there for it! If only I'd have known!

 

Anywhos, it was a very good day, and I got lots of good footage to use, but its not over yet, I still have tonight and tomorrow to film, and then on Wednesday, its the film festival!

Wrexham Science Festival Day 7

I'm sitting here, waiting for my fellow camera people to turn up, I came half an hour early, as its Easter, and the main uni building I study in closes early at Easter, so I went to the chippy, hoping to get a quick bite to eat before I start filming, but that was closed as well.

 

SO, in the end, I just went to the vending machine, got a bar of chocolate, and bought a bottle of water while in the middle of typing this. - Not very interesting in terms of filmmaking, but this is the Dairy of a Filmmaker - I think that's the first time I've ever used that excuse for a boring post on this blog!
