Annexe Mag's recent event - Et Al

A big thanks to Annexe Magazine for having me at their literary event the other week and kindly asking me to take a few snaps. Some results are here, otherwise head to Annexe's FB page to get the full snappage.

It was the first time I witnessed Charlie Dupre and I was completely blown away. He performed an imaginary slam battle between Marlowe and 'Shakey P' :D Nice! And then his dynamic, 'urban' version of Othello was pretty sublime as well - if you happen to get a chance to see him, I highly recommend it!

The 'Debate' Film vs Digital

I've been researching some really good articles and information regarding digital cinema and film. It's all really interesting, in so far it's help to brush up on technical knowledge that had laid dormant since graduating university. I still *pretend* to know what DPs talk about - hopefully it will get my by without them spotting my ignorance.

One thing that really stands out for me among all of this (seemingly pointless argument), is that:

You can shoot any format, and if the script is good, it will integrate and help tell the story with out drawing attention to “the format”.  http://fcproducer.com/2008/11/red-one-vs-film/#comment-23695

BAM!!! (For all those directors out there who think otherwise and degrade story to a bit part in their play of 'Self Indulgence is my Middle Name!') 

Another great resource out there is the blog, Cinemoose.com - though the writer no longer appears to be updating it since Dec 2008, it has some real gems in there. I stumbled on this epically wise: The Importance of Shooting on Film - the writer makes a good case that these days, film makers or digital cinema directors come from a features television background and not a photographic one where the old school were encouraged to really think about how to tell a story with pcitures and how it cuts etc. I won't try to badly paraphrase this great text, I just encourage all to read it! 

Having fun...at least ^^

Enjoying building a new website thanks to a trial version of Dreamweaver CS4; thankful to the dude on Youtube giving killer tutorials. For ages, I am sitting there thinking, "God who does he sound like?" and lo, I finally get it: Rob Lowe. Albeit a somewhat sedated version of Rob Lowe.

Glad I have a Flickr account where I have updated my best photo-work. CHECK IT OUT

COOL PHOTOS
