The Pub Game Part 1

Transformers 3

Among the many films i have watched so far this summer was Transformers 3. Having enjoyed the first film, and thought the second was a bit shoddy to say the least, i had mixed anticipations for this installment, but thought that the replacement of Megan Fox coulsn't be too bad a thing as it opened up the oppurtunity for somebody else to try and fill in her for somewhat wooden performances.

Sadly this was not the case. Despite being easy on the eye, Rosie Huntington-Whitely is every bit the bad actress that Megan Fox is.

The film itself was almost definitely better than the second, as there was more character development and just a better storyline in general. I appreciate that "Revenge of the Fallen" may have suffered due to the writers strike, but the fact remains that the film was relatively poor.

All in all it does exactly what is says on the tin, its a summer blockbuster with big ass robots that turn into cars, planes, tanks, and snakes.

If there is a fourth Transformers in the pipeline, i think we should buy the copyright for "Trans4mers" as a quick money making scheme!

Done and Dusting

So we did it. We made a telly programme all of our own! Dylan and Will are in the process of editing it, and i'm sure i speak for everyone else when i say i cant wait to see the end result!

Also having discovered that Al Murray was hosting a kind of pub quiz/game show on Dave that was starting this week, we were concerned it may look as though we had copied him slightly, but after it aired last night, i think its safe to say that we made a better show than his "Compete for the meat"... Somebody better give Dave a call and show them!

A big thankyou to CATF and everybody at the studios for making it possible!

Editing VT

I'm editing the VT for the fox, and have discovered that it wont be as good as the one for the dog and gun because we haven't got as good shots for this one as we did for the dog and gun. Because the pub was full of people when we went there to film, we were less able to manoeuvre around for the best shots, which has impeded the quality of the VT.

Hopefully i'll make the best of it though.

Practise makes perfect?

We had a day in the studio and gallery yesterday with a short 5 minute script, with the first years on cameras and as stand ins.
Although being a good experience being in the gallery and on the vision mixing equipment, the day kind of knocked my confidence as i hadn't been worried about it, but after pressing the wrong buttons multiple times im a bit more apprehensive. Hopefully i'll be able to get better before next thursday, although theres not a lot of time for me to practise.

Sergent Script-a-lot

Dylan has been hard at work getting a script together, which i have just had a read through, and it looks really good!

Really looking forward to seeing it all come together, and especially looking forward to mixing vision on record day!

Dog and Gunning

Casey, Will and I went along to the Dog and Gun during the week to film our VT for their team, and the lovely landlady let us in before opening as that was the only time the team were available. The team is a complete contrast to that of the The Fox, but "Lord" Trotsky is very funny and makes for an excellent team member and captain!

I also met our presenter, Ant, for the first time and thought he was really good too, also discovered that we have a lot in common as we went to the same primary and secondary schools, even if he is a little older than me.
