Website: day one

My website design went from planning to practical yesterday after I spent the afternoon working with Martin Wood, a film maker friend who has been using online web design tool 'Wix'.
As soon as we began, new ideas flooded in and affected the overall number of pages and corresponding links.
It is likely that this entire site is just a big practice session, since it uses Flash coding, which is not compatible with Apple technology - and who doesn't use an iPhone these days?

Why 2k?

Had a word with Neil last night regarding cinema screen resolution...
HD it is then - the cinema projetor works at 2k with a 4k capability... Nothing less than blu-ray standard will do, sooo - Bring on the P2s!!!

Full Circle!

A year ago, the part time, first year TV And Film Production students were engaged in a project to remake a scene from Under Suspicion and were chasing local acting legend Bill Fellows for the lead role - previously castas Gene Hackman.
Although Bill was interested, scheduling conflicts prevented him from taking the role in our reconstruction.

One year on and both myself and Bill were finally in film project together: 'Flip for the Boro'.
Late last night, I emailed Bill a version of the finished product, time will tell if he thinks missing that role was akin to Tom Selleck passing on Indiana Jones!!!!
