I’ve uploaded some stills from the film to flickr to give y’all a peek at the way it’s looking. Enjoy!
I’m currently editing New Light Stir, a 30-ish-minute live action drama with the writer Mike Mallett, a tutor colleague from Trafford College. It’s looking pretty damn good. I’m declaring right now though that this is the last film I’ll make in standard definition DV. We shot it all on Sony PD170′s with the settings pushed as far towards ‘cinematic’ as we could – shallow depth of field, sharpness set to minimum, no gain etc . We ran a preview section of it back on a 40inch Sony Bravia and winced as it made mincemeat of our proudest shots. Still, it looks great on a CRT screen, and through a projector should be pretty good.

My wonderful fiancee has just accepted her new job in London, which is ridiculously exciting stuff. Our time living in Manchester is rapidly drawing to a close, and yes, I’ll be very, very sad to say goodbyes. But it’s really not that far, and it’s time to step up and make new things happen.
And so, this, my new website (about time too). I need a new job in the big smoke, and a new online home on which to strut my stuff. After much consideration I decided WordPress is still where it’s at. I could start building a new site from scratch but that seems a bit daft these days.
More soon.
