re: this post

oh, this isn’t my setup! It was at the Metro Vancouver Media Production Unit, where our regional government produces a TV show and a bunch of web content. I was working there for a bit so I got randomly pulled aside to be in an ad for them :P

Believe me, I want this setup too! There was a properly-lit (!) greenscreen behind me too haha— I was pretty envious myself!

Aardman strikes again, because this looks like it just became my most anticipated animated film right now. Yes, above Pixar’s Brave, which I’ve been looking forward to for 5 years.

Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It’s a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

I dig this, because I’ve been slowly trying to close this “gap” for 11 years now. Things like this make me want to keep going.

I need to find a print of this.

ha— I normally glance at these and move on, but this is pretty clever

What is this, some sort of SuperOvershare? Well, no. But it will be out and about on TV in the next couple of weeks, and was also my first time using a teleprompter.

I knew SoundWorks would come through on this, and they don’t disappoint. The guitar+dry ice stuff in this is exactly what I love about sound design :)

If you’re in a cafe and a cute girl asks you to watch her computer while she goes to the bathroom, when she gets back, say, “Hey, just so you know, while you were gone a burglar tried to steal your computer, but I stopped him!” Then she’ll say, “Oh yeah?” and you say, “Yeah. I did a really good…

Oh wow. sometimes quotes like this are really cheesy, but I don’t know— this got me.

Filmed for Metro Vancouver at Capilano Park today. Hiking with camera gear is weird but also great ( when you have 6 other people to carry stuff too :P )

Meryl Streep plays Margaret Thatcher.

I’ve always had the impression that Thatcher isn’t a figure I’d like, but this is one hell of a teaser trailer. Tone, character, context, drama, all with three actors and 60 seconds.

Needless to say, the film’s looking good.

Day zero of writing.  Here’s hoping it all works out, I somehow want to have it all shot by the end of July…
