Le Mans Dudeparty 2010 - Trailer created from the roadtrip movie we shot on our recent boys holiday to the Le Mans 24 Hour Race. I’ve just finished the full thing as it happens but won’t be hosting it on YouTube due it being utterly laced with licensed audio. Let me know if you want a copy - 07872 968 125

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.

75% of Foilface made it to the same point in time and space for a few hours last night, this is what we came up with, Dunny tells me that it’s about Anglo-French relations, I reckon it sounds a bit like Liars.

It’s full title is Gateway Not Found Error 505, those of you who know what that means, well you’re one of two kinds of Wanker.

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.

Went to watch Autechre in Hamburg on Wednesday, as we were walking across the city, which is a fairly cool place as it happens, we spotted this evil looking old Nazi bunker. It turned out the gig was inside it which made the show pretty amazing, from what I can remember.

Sweeping statement time, Germans from Hamburg are very serious, I was told three times to please stop talking.

And just briefly, we found a brilliant little punk/metal bar across the road from the Nazi bunker with a bar football table and cheap beers and they we playing Slint records. Unfortunately we had to leave pretty sharpish because there was an angry Welshman in our party who wanted to fight everybody.
