The Transformers movie trilogy and the wacky adventures of their human companions
When they first announced, those many years ago, that they were going to make a live action Transformers film, I was determined to be one of the first in line to see it. As it happens, I wasn’t just a casual fan cashing in on a bit of nostalgia – I was at the time …

A Journey Through Time – Part 4 – The Village Episode 4
I was originally going to put this one out next Friday, but I had the urge to write something and needed to do something other than a Trent Samuels script – it’s all I’ve been working on all weekend, with more to continue shortly after I’ve written this entry. So, moving on to the final …

A Journey Through Time – Part 3 – The Village Episode 3
It took quite some time for our third sketch show episode to come around – after finishing Episodes 1 and 2 in 2000 and early 2001 it wasn’t until around summer 2003 that Episode 3 was completed. A lot of this I can put down to the move up to 6th form education and the …

A Journey Through Time – Part 2 – The Village Episode 2
We’d got back into it pretty quickly after finishing Episode 1. After what I’m sure was a frantic summer of scriptwriting (all of the really good ideas from three planned episodes had been condensed into Episode 1), we set to filming again in October 2000. I remember it reasonably well as the first batch of …

A Journey Through Time – Part 1 – The Village Episode 1
As briefly discussed in my blog last week, there were a few projects we started many, many years ago that have not been released for public consumption as they are, to be frank, a bit pants. The main project that occupied many years throughout high school, 6th Form and for some of us the first …

Video editing on a Mac – “It’s just better”
For just under 6 years I did my video editing on a PC. PC’s are cheap, customisable and pretty much everyone owns one. The software I used initially was equally cheap – Ulead Video Studio 8, for a mere £25 from WH Smith. You know, back when they used to sell more than books, magazines …

Trent Samuels Festive Special 2011 – the writing process
Believe it or not, here’s the new blog as promised! My big project at the moment is this year’s Festive Special for our Trent Samuels audio series. I did a similar project this time last year and, despite the fact the episode wasn’t released until February 2011 due to a LOT of snow interrupting the …

Yeah, it’s been a while…
Blimey, has it really been 12 months since the last post on this blog? Best get my act together and make an effort going into 2012… I’ll be aiming for at least 1 update a week, probably on a Friday evening, from this Friday onwards. Let’s see how I do with that, although I’ve now …

Camping Holiday – Day 6 – Saturday 21st August 2010
Another early start to wrap up the holiday. Shower drains were clogged with something, I didn’t want to investigate too closely. Similarly, the toilets were hardly in fantastic condition. Glad we were leaving, quite frankly. Somehow we got everything packed away rather easily, throwing away a fair amount of unwanted stuff for reasons of space. …

Camping Holiday – Day 5 – Friday 20th August 2010
Camping Holiday – Day 5 – Friday 20th August 2010 The last full day of the holiday before we had to go home, and we had a fair bit to cram in. I ended up sleeping in for an extra hour compared to the rest of the week. I blame the torrential wind all night …
