Media video is due in at the end of tomorrow. It still needs a bit of work, but is all coming along rather nicely. To be honest I'm surprised that its done to any degree at all, given the amount of problems I've (and Lucy and Kushbu...) have had with it. The continuity is well and truley fucked- Joe's scarf disapears about halfway through, his hair looks slightly different in every shot, and Chloe'sred beaded necklace mysteriously morphs into a stripey blue and turquoise scarf, and back again. I also think I maybe stretching the imagination just a bit too much by pretneding that a bus stop in Whetstone is actually the very near the same place as Camden Market, but whatever. Not much I can do about it now. And besides, we do have some really nice shots. Chloe looking sadly at the photo of her and Joe before ripping it up and throwing it into the canal looks really good, as does the bit where she slaps him round the chops (heheheh). Sof looks suitibly aggreived when Joe ups and leaves her, and some of the band shots work really well, and Emma makes a surprisingly convincing indie-rockstar. The whole story line is a bit different to what I had origionally planned (but then I guess we never were going to be able to form a realistic looking crowd out of about 6 people, were we?), but it also doesn't look too cheesy, something Mr Roydon was worried about. As Chili and Jess pointed out, it really is stupidly bright and colourful (apart from the black and white flash-backy bits, obviously). At one poit, theres actually a display of huge rainbow coloured umbrellas in the background.


Perhaps, once we've got our dvds of it, we could all have a screening of it with everyone involved with video there? that could be quite fun. I doubt Im going to get a dvd player any time soon, but if any one is willing to let it be shown on theirs...

Ho-hum.

So.

Video nearly finished, so expect normal service to be resumed shortly. Ie; normal Soph, as opposed to the violent, shouty, video director version.

:D

I wasn't going to watch it for fear I look short and fat and was overracting terribly, but now I'm quite tempted all the same :D

You're back!!!!!!!! *runs over and hugs*. Did you get my text the other day, sugar?

[besidethesea.livejournal.com]

I'm not back, I'm only posting comments.... I did get your message, sorry for not replying, only just got credit. Don't know what I'd really do with a copy of it, but I'd like to see the final thing.

But if you're not back, FreeLondon will be without a mod! And I'm planning a get-togther collective video showing, probably at Sof's house. Will tell you more when I next see you (Friday?)

[besidethesea.livejournal.com]

Yup, should be there Friday. And I know freelondon will be modless, but hopefully it should keep going for abit under it's own steam. Then, sadly, it will die. Though, if you can be bothered, I'll email you the website links and you can filter through them for new events each week...

Why don't you put out an appeal amongst the member of free london for a new mod? Im sure someone would be willing to do it. Not me though, I was made the mod of a communit about 6 months ago. I think its dead...
