Barton Bike Night

Me and Lizzie went to Barton Bike night last night and it was amazing! we got on tv haha and took some photos which came out good. they are on my deviant art profile here and the video is here

What a week!

Wowie! ive been so busy this last week i havent had time to talk about!! First of all David Cameron came to my school and i got the chance to video it and also have a crack at filming in a proper press scram which was soo fun and got my love of filming kick started. Then i got to see Bob Geldof and David Davis and filmed that too and got on BBC and ITV news doing it. The footage i got from these im using for both the youth assembly and sixth form promotional video im making. I got really close to them as well so that was special. And then to top it off i went away for the weekend on my photography job and took all the action shots which some people bought which was really rewarding.

Brawndo!!!!!

i love this =p

BOOM!

Last saturday i went to the MTV BOOM competition course to learn some new skills for beginning my independant film career and it was amazing! i got a free camera, tshirt, dvd of stuff on filming and loads of tips for the future, not to mention lots of new contacts for the future. the tutor i was with for the day was the zombie from Shaun of the Dead that was washing the car while Shaun walks to the shop lol

I’ve also signed up to shooting people a website where film makers post what their doing and people can find other people to bring onboard for their film so hopefulyl i get more noticed!

Film time! woop =p

Started filming my first independant film today. I’ve done films before but this time its on my own and it was nice to be able to do something how I wanted it to be. Cant wait for the film school where I’m going to edit it and put it together later in the summer hehe

The State of Society…

Saw this on the news today and couldnt believe it. its a video released by the police department in Hartford, Conneticut of an 87 year old man who was hit by a car and then left bleeding on the street as other people walked on by leaving in on the street until a police patrol got to him. I find it shocking to see how anyone could do that but i guess thats the world we live in these days. To be brutally honest i hope all the people who looked at him and walked on all get hit by a car and die because this is unbelievable From what i heard on the news the guy survived and is in hospital recovering. All the best to him because i really feel for the guy
