The Happening (2008)

One of the worst movies I have ever had the horror to watch. It simply Sucks SUCKS!

Seriously, the whole idea is stupid, the acting is bad and the story makes no sense, plus the "message" at the end is just retarded.

Tulio

You Might or might not know (I like how Might looks in capital letters) Tulio the short movie is in pre production terms, but in a matter of days YES, DAYS we will be shooting. Im not sure if you've read my synopsis:

Tulio is a short film that explores a woman's path through different stages of her life, as she encounters death, manifested through an imaginary friend, Tulio. The three scenes explore: awareness of mortality; experience of loss; and her own passing will be the defining moments both for the character and the audience.

Infomercial

Fun!

Camera Workshop

I am quite a photograph aficionado, and if you know me, you'd know that I go with my camera everywhere, despite this, i had never used my Nikon as a cam corder before, and I have to say that it was a nightmare. Lighting, lighting, lighting, think of lighting. I couldn't simply change the aperture or speed here, it was much more complicated, Flash? Yea, right. After about twenty minutes playing around with the camera, I simply quitted, It wasn't worth it.

So, We made our workshop with Alva's simple Samsung camera. The panning shots weren't as difficult as we thought they would be, we simply strapped the camera to one of those bos moving things with wheels and used that. Then we invented a panning device made with a tray and four tennis balls. The balls worked as bearings and the tray as a support.

Lighting, that what you have to have in mind.

Pirate Radio (2009)

Last night I enjoyed to watch "The Ship that Rocked" a great movie about a radio station located in a boat anchored in the coasts of britain transmitting Rock and Roll night and day. Some good comedy and adventure with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Nighy, directed by Richard Curtis who is the fellow who made Love actually movie I haven't seen yet but Im told its pretty good.

So, really enjoyable, easy watching.
