Ibiza & current stuff

Its been a while since I've written on this thing. I've had a lazy time of it since returning. I'm currently in the process of trying to get a company founded to operate under and have been generally keeping pretty chilled.

Ibiza was warm and an interesting experience. The weather was beautiful and so were the women (a lot of boobies everywhere). There was an amazing amount of orange people walking around. I stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison. I actually think I came back whiter than when I left. Here's a picture of me in action over there.



Not too exciting, I know. As for what the band got up to over there, well, I'll be saving that for the film.

Since returning I did some sit down interviews with Roddy MacAudio about the album for some studio blogs I am throwing together for him. They will start appearing in the not too distant future. I was also out shooting mountain biking out near Lanark with my colleague Calum MacPhail. In the process of being eaten alive by midgies and trying to not fall on our backsides we managed to collect some decent footage which Calum edited together in the below video.



Next on the agenda is to continue moving forward with my business plans, getting my self back in to shape, and filming introductions to the band members for the film. I will be posting the 15 Times Dead set (from the Catty last year) soon. Other than that I think it will be a pretty uneventful summer in terms of filming work. So until next time, laters.

Attica Rage - Making the Album & stuff

I've not long put up Attica Rage - Making the Album on Youtube and Vimeo (vastly superior in my opinion). If you watch them can you please click the 'like' button. It will increase its chance of being found in searches. Here are the links:

Unfortunately the film didn't win any prizes at the UWS student showcase. Heavy metal bands don't exactly appeal to stuffy lecturer types. Oh well! I guess I'll have to make the feature length film so undeniably good that they have no choice to give me an award.

This week saw me get my first paid job on an actual set. It was an STV produced dramadocumentary on Scottish murderers. It was pretty cool seeing an experienced cast and crew work. I only wish I could have gotten my hands on the camera. I suppose you've got to start at the bottom, right? Anyway, I think I learned a lot and everyone involved was nice and more than willing to answer questions. I'd definately like to do more of this in the future.

Just over a week away is my Hard Rock Hell - Road Trip adventure in Ibiza with Attica Rage. It should be an experience and a half.
