Woosh, no internet for almost 2 months, it has not been easy.

During this time I’ve watched lots of films including one of the greatest films ever made in “2046″ as well as loads of others including Batman, The Beat My Heart Skipped, Waterworld and more I can’t remember, Shaved off all my hair to combat my brain overheating, gotten my lip pierced (finally), celebrated a birthday, bought 2 pairs of trainers (including some converse all stars, yay!), been doing a lot of editing and filming - including finishing the final version of Trapped (Stay watching this space for it’s internet debut), completed deus ex: invisible war, syberia 2 and splinter cell: chaos theory on the xbox (and made a pro evolution 5 team out of all of team film including lecturers) and done a whole lot of soul searching and meditation.

Anyway loads to catch up on so let’s just finish on the happy note that I’m glad to be back online.

C’était un rendez-vous is a notorious short film made in 1976 by French Director Claude Lelouch. It was shot in a single take, using a gyro-stabilised camera mount attached to the front of a car as it raced through the streets of Paris at dawn. The car was rumoured to be Lelouch’s own Ferrari 275 GTB although Lelouch has since stated it was actually filmed in a 6.9L Mercedes with the sounds from a Ferrari dubbed over the top. The film runs at 10 minutes due in main to the limited capacity of the camera reel.

The film has recently been re-mastered and released on DVD. Enjoy.

Those who know me, may well already be aware that my mother, Rosemary, recently fell ill with a rare form of arthritis known as polymyositis/dermatomyositis. After a long 4 and half months spent in hospital, she has slowly improved. However, she has never fully recovered from the disease.

Therefore my crazy assed younger siblings have decided to partake in a sponsored Skydive in order to raise money for the charity ARC.

This is a heartfelt plea to get those of you with cash to spare to donate some money (however little) through their web-page at www.justgiving.com/gordonanddawnfarmer. Full details of the event can also be found there.

Arthritis causes long term health problems for more than one in seven adults and many thousands of children. Please take the time to donate some money to this worthwhile cause.

Thanks.

Just got back from a quick trip to Salamanca, filming. I thoroughly enjoyed the city even though I was filming I made sure I kept well stocked up on tapas and Cervezas and even managed to spend one night checking out the nightlife till roughly 7:30am. One thing that did amuse me greatly was Madrid’s enormous Bajaras Airport. Not only did we have to go on both underground trains and shuttle buses which took about 25 minutes to get to the departure gates but we must have walked about the equivalent of 2 miles. Depsite the vast scale of the terminal and the capacity of the airport the smoking sections in there were about 2 metres by 5 metre wide boxes. There was a large number of bemused smokers standing shoulder to shoulder smoking in these little boxes which were just randomly plonked in the middle of enormous wide open spaces. I had to take some pictures with my phone to illustrate this.

I couldn’t imagine the Spanish standing for that long and sure enough the first signs of anarchy began with the smokers spilling out onto the surrounding seating areas. Madness.
