Been messing about with some pins and polystyrene, maybe with some home-made stopmotion project in mind...

Ten Second Spots

I'm busy with Tandem work again, but this time a spot of directing! (A multitude of quickie TV sponsorship idents...)
So not much time for film-making activities: 'too busy to blog.'

Thanks

To the guy who chased me down Essex Road one evening last week to give me back the mobile phone I'd dropped.

Statistical Blip

January 10th 2007 shall henceforth be known as 'Big Wednesday' - the day traffic to www.chrisgavin.com unexpectedly spiked up to 1705 unique visits. Most of these seem to have been referred from the site www.stumbleupon.com in response to a positive review by user 'PanHelle'... thanks for that!

Evo Remixed

A couple of months back I got an email from musician and sound designer Dan Buskell; he'd downloaded my film Evo onto his Sony PSP over at the yourPSP site. Dan seems to have liked the film well enough, but must have had some reservations about my musicianship! Over the christmas break he sent me a copy of Evo set to his own totally new music and effects track.
It had always been my original intention to find some help with the sound design for 'Evo', but I ended up pressing-on with my own track...

I like what Dan has done a lot, and feel it really does add a further dimension to the film. I'm planning to remaster a version of the film with the shiny new track and send this version out to the world... something of an Evo Remix. Once it's online somewhere, I'll blog a link to it.

Evo Going Atomic

It's been some time in coming now, but short film site Atom Films will host my shortfilm 'Evo'. This link takes you to their First Look Lounge announcement. I'll update this post when Evo goes-live properly on Atom.

Telephone Camera Thing

I've finally replaced my aging and failing mobile and got a new SonyEricsson one. I was fairly amazed to find that as well as shooting stills and lo-res movies, it's even got some basic video editing software onboard! The so-called 'Video DJ' application lets you string together up to 5 shots with very basic trimming and titling functions. It's all at very lo-res of course (176x144 pixels and very compressed) the movies get saved in .3gp format.

I've started dabbling with this and might post some kind of phone-made movie things here at some later date...
