Times have been pretty slow in regards to me doing much of my own filming lately.. as is always the case, when the end of the year is nigh everyone tries to squeeze their movies into full on production mode, which causes a great strain on the equipment we have. So basically, with no equipment, I have just been working on others people's short films. Michael and Steve are both doing their 15 minute shorts, one being a mafia short (typical personification of Mike/Steve's work), and one about a poker game that goes awry. The good news is that the due dates for all the films is some time in October, and a quick glance at the equipment booking sheets suggests that gear will become a lot more available very soon. I haven't really decided upon an idea for the next short I want to do, I will have to have a good hard think about it...
On another note the fine cut of the movie "How to be a millionaire" is becoming close to being finished, so I should be able to post up some stills from that soon. Until then.

Until then what? Until then you'll kill a lot of people? Until then you'll spend all your time helping the homeless? Until then you'll be watching reruns of Seinfeld? Give me a clue here.
I feel your pain. Actually I don't as all the gear is pretty easy to obtain at the moment. It's the damn scheduling problems that are hurting me. You have a tripod right? Use that if you have it and otherwise go handheld and just shoot your stuff on your good ol' Handycam... or maybe not.
Well I guess I meant until next time.. Next time I have something decent to post up :P But yeah the gear unavailability is quite a nuisance, basically you have six people trying to come up with 46 minutes of footage, and three decent cameras at your disposal.. and then about 10 extra people who are booking out the lights and other miscellaneous equipment, quite a headache.
