:pint:

Thanks Mark!!! I appreciate that :-) This has been quite a lot of work (and some really good things have happened too ;-) ), but it is worth it in the end!

very nice Black and White textures there. nice effects, really.

I had to watch it twice (second time with the sound off) to realize the GUY had also been duplicated.....

tell us about the process..what did you use to shoot this, edit it, etc.

I can only really talk about the Music, and "acting" (I'm the one with the hair over my right eye... note my Avatar) in it... since that's all I did... the production company did the film work. :-)

Both James and the Leading Lady were doubled up and it took ages of shooting the same scene over and over again... with Actors having to hit their marks perfectly... I did see a longer edit of that scene, where the actors moved around more... but most of the material was cut to fit the music...

I guess this is actually your area!! If you have any questions I will put them to the Director :-)

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to put the link into a couple of other forums I frequent?

Again though, well played  :-)

Spread the word! I welcome the link being thrown everywhere :-)

Cheers!

But who's the foppish deviant at 1:26, I wonder?

Oh.. just some tramp that wandered in off the street... we managed to get rid of him though ;-)

Damn! I can't even watch it on my slow dial-up connection. Could you post it as a file on CD-R? (If so, we'll call it quits on that fiver you owe me :-D)

Once I get the HD-DVD master... I'll see what I can do.

I've been thinking about setting all the free Amiga gear I got recently, selling my MacBook, and seeing if that's enough to get a new MB with my student discount :idea:

First post with my new MBP :-)

Trackpad takes a little getting used to... but a brilliant machine :-)

[bloodline]

Overall, the machine is a work of art... It's not going to appeal to everyone. It is stupidly powerful, and you can forget it's a laptop... All 3D games I could throw at it, ran perfectly.... As a Logic machine (my main use) it is faultless... I can't thnk of a better music machine...

Any other questions?

@Smurf

I welcome your comments. The look was intentionally black and white and flickery, as we were trying to copy the style of old science fiction movies...

The story line was something that is hard to convey in 5 minutes... I felt the director did a good job... But then I know the plot, so I'm at an advantage here.

When it comes to singers, I guess you either love them or hate them... I can't stand Amy Winehouse, for example... but there are some people in this world who believe she can sing... and then go and buy her records... it is a crazy world!

I'm glad you were able to enjoy at least some part of the song/video... after all, that's why I made it :-)

[bloodline]

Moto is right, I'm terms of critique it is better (though often more unpleasant) to get the POV of outsiders/strangers.

But for me, I just want people to enjoy it... I am afterall just an entertainer, my job is to entertain. If people don't like what I do then I have to adapt to their needs, the audience shouldn't have to come to me... In an ideal world we would meet half way, but in reality no one needs what I create, so I have to create something that they want, even if they don't need it and I don't like it.

@moto

That is because your project is an artistic one rather than a comercial one... But you never know, there may well be an audience for what you want to do! :-)

People who create art, which they like and the audience likes are very lucky!

This is really stated from a British POV. Dutch ppl are way much more direct (sometimes too direct IMHO)
So, you can rely on my and Odin's opinions stated here. :-)

Yes, British people tend to be over-polite. I really don't understand it.

I don't think it's the same thing as politeness (unless you mean generally) but I don't think people these days count it as a virtue (I know I know, we are more like Americans now) but the cliquishness is very much alive still (class and rich/poor divides as bad as ever, too) which prevents people from saying bad things to their faces (behind their backs is another story) and is one of the reasons I've almost completely fallen out of love with this country.

I suppose it comes down to not wanting to hurt people's feelings. But if somebody is seeking a genuine, honest opinion then I think it's more disrespectful to lie for the sake of their feelings than it is to give your honest opinion.

So I look forward to your opinions of my album - if I ever finish it!

Generally, I'd like to always speak honestly to people. The reactions and b*tchiness I get from some though in retaliation makes me think twice now about everything I say. Hence, why I didn't want to say too much to bloodline in case he was just showing off his masterpiece to 'his clique'. ;-)

I see now that isn't the case.

* Edit: Nevermind.

Haha,  no mine is a comercial product... If you like it, buy it, tell your friends... If you don't like it, slag me off, tell me I'm lame and most importantly tell me what I did wrong :-)
