More stuff i've been watching/listening to!

heyheyhey, and 1st off, happy new year!!! Over christmas one of my faverioute drummers died, Jimmy 'The Rev' Sulivan, known as the drummer for the band Avenged Sevenfold was one of the best drummers i listened to, he was an asthetic drummer, looked great as he drummed. I stumbled on this video on Vimeo which is a tribute to him, really really uped my love for him and respect for his drumming ability!

R.I.P. JIMMY "THE REV" SULLIVAN - TRIBUTE VIDEO from TWENTYFOURCORE Productions on Vimeo.

This made me just want to get back to stoke and have a massive session on the drums, which is exactaly what i did. It also got me back into my metal and punk rock music, i have got into A Day to Remember a fair bit recentally and wisely invested in their homesick album! for all drummers out there 'The Downfall of us all' worth trying to play, especailly for double pedal lovers!!!

A film i watched recentaly which i really enjoyed was 'Perfume: the story of a murderer' I read the book whilst i was travelling in Ghana and found it very hard to put down! the film is very dark, like the story, and i loved the use of montage in certain scenes! I would reccomend watching this film, however i would say read the book 1st as you can use your imagineation, something which i think films kill. The film does this book the world of justice, which is now being more common, however, and as a film maker it pains me to say, you can't beat the book. I think being able to picture something yourself is unbeatable!

Im back at universtiy now. The Screening of 'Find your Voice' went well and i have had some great feedback from it. i will have it on vimeo soon. I now have an idea for something i want to make a documentory about for each of the pathways of my course, Tattoos, and the EDL is something i want to make a documentory about, and i might change the Malaria no more film so i can encorporate it with my course and make the film better and spend more time on it, we will see!

At uni we watched an old film called 'The Lonelieness of a Long Distance Runner' I think the thing i liked most about it was the use of flashback, i felt in this film the director really got the audience into the runners mind, i felt that when he was running we were going through his thoughts and we could relate to it, then when he does what happens at the end, you understand why, and really get to know the character. It was a film which i liked as entertainment, and could really appreciate the craftmanship of it and the techniques used to get the desired result

I'll try remember to do a new blog within a week, im going to try and get good at this bloggin lark!!!

untill then...... big kiss
