One hot night!

I am not just referring to the contestants on stage at last night's Model Search 2006 in Gibraltar. It was roasting. Incredibly humid.

Like I mentioned previously, I was shooting the competition. Unfortunately our 3rd camera was suffering from a moisture condition, so we had to make do with 2. Should be fine. I'm starting editing tomorrow on it.

One camera was HDV the other SD. This will be my first attempt at combining footage. I am quite curious to see the outcome.

Frame grabs coming soon!

GibFocus feature

GibFocus is this terribly cool website that has all the latest and greatest news about Gib. It is updated seemingly every 5 minutes.

Starting today I am the featured interview! How cool is that?!?

You can take a look at the site here.

Uh oh!

Members of a religious sect in central Kenya are bracing themselves for a nuclear war predicted to take place no later than 12 September 2006.

Buggers. I have already booked flights to London on September 26th! Can I get a refund in case this happens?

Writing success...kind of

Google is a wonderful thing. I discovered that I got to the semi-final rounds in the Writers on the Storm screenwriting competition for my script 'Fire and Rain'.

Ok, I didn't make it into the finals - but then neither did England in the World Cup, so there you go.

Model Search 2006

How exciting! Looks like I am the lucky guy who gets to coordinate the shooting/videoing/filming of Gibraltar's Model Search 2006 competition. It (hopefully) will be a 3 camera affair, which will be an editing headache, but, I am always up for a challenge.

The worst thing about it is that I will be too busy looking through the viewfinder to watch the show.

It's happening at Alameda Open Air Theatre on Friday 21st July at 9.30pm.

I know you all really want to see pics of the contestents, but, go see the show you cheap buggers! Should be a hoot.

Welcome home

Today I picked up my official Resedencia card for Spain. It has been a long haul to get this thing - even though all it really means is that I have proof I live here!
But still, I have to say that I am very happy about it. I love living down here (another long haul to get to there, I can tell you) and to now be fully 'official' makes me proud.

In my dreams - when I let myself have them - I think about how I want to get the Campo de Gibraltar region on film. I like shooting down here - the people are great - and I think the place has a lot to offer as far as stories and locations.

Anyway, I am beaming and had to tell someone.

Done!

It took a very very long time, but, I am truly done 'With Sand Alone'. The first submission has been sent off!

I need a break from Final Cut Pro for a while.
