Well, guess it's time for another one of those 'I haven't posted in a while so I'll make a massive topic' things. Yes, and you love it.

Three weeks ago I left merry old London to go up to Oxford to attend the New York Film Academy's school in Oxford University. I am doing the intensive, hands-on 8-week filmmaking course. Why only 8-weeks I hear you ask. Well, because that's all I can bloody well afford right now. As much as I'd like to write a lot I don't have the time as right now I'm working on finishing up the storyboard, shot list and floor plan for the music video I'm shooting this weekend, so I'll just post a few pictures.

My Crew for the first week:

My best friend, Nick, from the school stoned off his face (first pic) and Matt the American guy (who's so funny to watch when he figures something out that we English do differently, bless) also stoned:

Good old Kirsty:

That's about all I can be bothered to upload right now. As much as I miss London, my friends and everything I've grown used to there I really [CENSORED]ing love it up here. During the day I go to school to learn filmmaking which involves watching scenes and evaluating them, operating cameras, lighting, shooting test shoots, editing, scriptwriting, etc. Basically, I'm doing a hobby for real and when classes finish we go out and drink, get stoned, go clubbing or raving and just have fun. Whatever the hell we feel like. This is obviously nothing new to me, but just the fact that the entire day (including classes) is fun is great! Plus, it's great to be around a load of friends who are as passionate about filmmaking as you are.

Yay.

I love those machines and they love me back!

Anyway, who do you get to act in the stuff you film? Just people from within the group or anyone?

Seconded. I've always wanted to go to film school, but I need to satisfy my craving for science first.

bravo. i'd be quite interested to hear more in general about the film, or any other films you're doing. more specifically, with writing it and all, what's your role in that? I'm interested in film and writing, through journalism and then making documentries/whatever when I'm older, so do talk.

That is, if you sign back on and actually see this, which I doubt. I just came on for the first time in months. Very odd. Been on for 14 minutes now. Its too much. Farewell.
