Recently

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' mine and Gustav Newby's first film together was completed a while back just so you know, and will be put on to the internet asap. I have been a little slack with it as I don't know how to upload it and Ciaran O'Brien has been worked off his feet. But don't threat it will be ready for your viewing pleasure as soon as it touches the inter web a link will be posted here. Maybe tonight even... I have already started writing a script for a feature length, hopefully in 10 years it may even see the light of day.

'THE RAPE TAPE' which for the sake of this blog is the debut album of the Unusual Suspects, which consists of myself Lord Measle and Freddie Cruger, is an 18 track masterpiece, yet to be completed. However, things have been moving a little slow due to huge cash flow problems, which mean I can hardly support myself to eat, have led to a lack of money for our big collaboration, the final beat and recording time. However, most of it has been recorded and after the last few tracks have been recorded we are going to move straight in to mixing and mastering while still finishing up the last few tunes. At the same time we will be finishing 'PRE RAPE TAPE' filled with dubs and a sampler of the album.

'WORK FUN WORK EXPERIENCE WORK' recently I have done two very interesting pieces of work experience. The first being filming, 'Mastering Hollywood' a seminar given by Doug Chamberlin one of the writers of Toy Story 2, the guy who turned down writing Harry Potter's screenplay. This was a great experience as not only did me and Ciaran get to sit in on an amasing seminar worth £200, but we got to know Doug and his wife quite well, who were very welcoming people, and a professional reference when we need it, which is great.

The other even though student based, was produced by Chris Jury, an eastenders director. It was hectic shot over the period of 5 days to produce 5, 5 minute webisodes, that will also work as a pilot for television. Hopefully it becomes successful, as then more episodes will be filmed this year. During the production, I worked as the sound recordist, boom operator and production assistant. Working in sound I worked with professional sound recordist, David Ferguson who taught me a lot, which was great experience and Liquid soap was good fun. It even was on BBC news!
