Latest News - Production Listings Now Up

Nuns With Guns has now been listed on IF Magazine and Encore as 'In Planning/In PreProduction'! :-)

So much to do but the plan is good and I'm sticking to it! However I may change the priority for the nuns movie website - it looks a bit daggy and it would appear a few people are already looking at it.

Anyway! Onwards!!

Other notes, I've been working on a few composited clips for Rock Chikz that I will supply to Alison, the editor, once she's ready to start on the episode. She may or may not use them but it's good to be using After Effects again after a bit of a break. Surprising how much you forget though, in just a few months..

Oh and the PMW EX1 has just been given a firmware upgrade and power board replacement - it's in top fiddle state now, great stuff. I'm fighting the urge to film something in the latter part of this year as the priority is NWG above all else, but that said, I may not be able to resist another little weekend production. More when I've made a decision... :-)

Hello Hello

Been a while between posts, anyway here I am with a couple of random entries.

Firstly, a cool little film made with a Canon 5D SLR, called Reverie by Vincent Laforet. The way these Digital 'still' cameras are going into the world of 'movement' is very interesting! I think there could be some great new tools for storytellers very soon. Anyway enjoy, this is very pretty:



Secondly, I fixed my Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard to work with Windows Mobile 6 (wm6). The driver development from igo ended with wm5. There's a problem with a bluetooth stack called Dakar.

This sounds very geeky and it is, but I use this keyboard to write when I'm travelling and it's the best travel keyboard I've ever used - I will be doing plenty more script writing with it in the next few months :-)

Anyway to make it work, you just have to use the standard bluetooth system in WM6. Once it finds the Stowaway keyboard, to connect enter the passcode 1234, then while it's searching, type 1234 and enter on the keyboard. Voila, they're paired.

The special shortcuts will not work, but it will function as a full keyboard if you're just typing...

OK, my next post will be about film projects, I promise!
