I tagged along to the final days shoot of Negative Slant Productions’ ‘The Fortune Teller’, a dark short Written, Produced and Directed by Daniel Kenyon. I was there to supply track and dolly for a couple of shots using Skintdolly [don’t pay a megabux for a T & D system if you’re a poor Indy kid, look on YouTube, there are many DIY tutorials]. (Click the picture to see Skintdolly) I had a thoroughly nice time, learned a bunch of stuff about storyboarding and am looking forward to seeing the edit. I’ll post here with a little review when it’s completed.

Currently piecing together some footage from last month, shot at the Moon and Sixpence in Glossop, an acoustic performance by three fifths of Rook and the Ravens. Only one Canon 5d mk2 was available [mine] so the other footage was grabbed using a couple of Panasonic camcorders on loan, it’s not perfect but after a good de-interlacing & a spot of grading it looks OK. I’m hoping to hand these clips over to the band this evening assuming I get finished in time. Click the picture to go to their myspaz page. They’re well worth a do, kind of Americana but with a lovely Northern English thing, delicious vocal harmonies feature throughout.

Acoustic Apathy

Today is the first day that I’ve felt like I’m wasting my time on acousticprogress.com, I was expecting this after a couple of weeks, up’s and down’s Rodney, up’s and down’s.

After we’d been to see Autechre in Hamburg we drove to Amsterdam to see them again. The Amsterdam show wasn’t as madcap thanks to the venue shutting the bar during the entire gig but we did have a wicked night out, we bumped into a nice young English chap called Alexis who took us to a bar called Maloe Melo, the guy in the picture is the owner and he seemed to stay open for an extra hour so we could get shitfaced, if you’re ever in Amsterdam and you’re in the mood for some stinky alternative rock banter you should show your face in the back room, it’s at Lijnbaansgracht 163 1016 VX not far from the excellent Melkweg venue.
