It's A New Dawn, It's A New Day

Well, CCAD is now over and I'm now at Teesside University studying for my top up year. Currently I am making a short documentary on Gaelic Football as editor and camera alongside Richard Hansen (Director), Karl Keenen (Camera/Edit), Lainey Clark (Producer/Camera), Raphael Dixon (Camera/Edit), Sam Hall (Camera) and Natalie Swain (Interviewer). So far it's going pretty well and we're aiming for it to be finished by the 22nd November, a full eight days before the deadline.

Cineworld Showing and Hartlepool

For the past couple of weeks I have been  at Hartlepool CCAD for the end of year degree show. Despite the extra work, it was quite fun and the night went well. I'll be there manning the show today and on Friday.

On Monday we had our end of year degree show at Cineworld. It was a very good night, though my specialism film wasn't shown  However, Positive Children UK was shown in its place. Overall, the night was enjoyable and one of the highlights of the night was seeing my college Media Studies teacher.

Got into Teesside

Well I got onto the top up year at Teesside University TV + Film Production. Should be interesting.

Specialism Finally Over!

Well the long torture of the specialism project is finally over and done with. Thank God!. It was a really tough and stressful experience, yet it was a great learning curve.I learned a lot about myself as a worker. Now onto the professional studies

Filming Finished

The filming of "Waiting" has been finished finally. It hasn't been without its problems. The biggest issue we had was with the 1960s/1970s era clothing and set dressing.

All we need to do now is edit.

New Actress

After losing Emily Coates, the actress who was going to play Eleanor, we had to look for another. Luckily we were given the name of another actress who appeared at the auditions. Vicky Holtom, who was also in Karl's film "Through The Eyes".

She is working
4th  from 12 until 4.30
6th  5-6
7th 1 - 7pm

We'll most likely film her parts on the 6th as she isn't working until the evening.
