just back from my dad’s, The main highlight of the night was pulling out the old super 8 projector and stack loads of footage dating back to 1982 and even some before I was born. 15mins was spent trying to get the projector working, ones it started working it then ripped a reel in half and we spent several hours more trying to find out why it had stoped working all together . By the end of the night we had only seen 3 seconds of blurred, flickery footage but we still had fun trying to get a 20 year old projector going.

Luke Shirlaw’s and Lee Harnden’s exhibition, DL 92.95, turned out to be a very successful night (why wouldn’t it have been?!). Luke was overwhelmed with the massive turn out. I ran in to lots of people I know from uni I hadn’t seen in along time now that uni is finished. Also thanks to my efforts at editing the doco I used some of the money I got from it to pay off my AKIRA comics. I now have books four, five and six out of six.

DL 92.95 IS IN THE CAN!

After two weeks of edting, Luke Shirlaw’s and Lee Harnden’s Film for their exhibition is finally finished. Editing by myself under the guidelines of Lee, the video shows the two lads traveling around the world in their quest to seek out all things Graffiti. The doco also lightly touches on their inspirations as artists and their hopes for things to come. The video will be shown tomorrow night (7th feb 2003) at Umbrella Studio. So if you like pizza and Graffiti or know the boys come check it out.

No I haven’t been kidnapped by a bunch of money hungry Russian drug lords (unfortunately), the only thing I’ve been held hostage by is university and assignments. However I have managed to fit in some time for Tom Clancys Ghost Recon: Desert Siege and my most resent addiction Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

However my game pool now days has been limited to Hitman 2 in an attempt to free up as much hard drive space as I can, 29.4gb if you want to get technical. Why so much space you ask? Well foolish me though it may be cool to make another mini movie for uni. Longer then my last movie of two mins, Snatched, the given name for my next flick comes in at a grad total of 20mins. What was intended to be a short film about my whole class has now dwindled down to 6 people due to time and technical reason.
