Enough Space

So, that's the storyboards done... I spent some time over half term doing the majority of them, then did the rest today, spurred into action by Jake and James (how can they have done their filming already? I'm envisaging a pact with the devil, conducted at a crossroads at midnight). Anyway, here we go...






If the recording on Thursday goes to plan, I can sort out my shot lists and I can organise everyone I need, I could possibly film everything this weekend. That all depends, however, on my ability to organise Tom CN and my brother for the performance and Josh Mower for the crazy dancing in the woodlands. I'm also hoping he can provide costumes for himself and my brother when they do this; it'll look more than a bit two bob if the drummer obviously doubles up as a dancer. I'll have to check the weather for this weekend, too, as I don't much fancy doing the exterior shots in pouring rain.
There's no pressure on me to do this as soon as humanly possible, so it won't be a massive problem if next weekend turns out to be better. Still, it'd be nice to have as much time as possible for editing. And on that note, let's get biz-zay.

Quick and to the pointless

Just a quick post to put up my shiny new photos of possible locations/angles for the video... I'm going to include these along with my drawn storyboards. I'm hoping to do said storyboards this half term, along with some band practice. Anyway, here we go...

Trouble No More

Right, here we go. Some new stuff's happened... I've found a guitarist for the video, the esteemed Tom CN (who once described himself as playing guitar "like a rapist with no hands". Maybe this is a bad sign). Hopefully we can get some practice in during half term. Speaking of which, I've now got a date for recording the song itself- 1st November. There I was, expecting some massive rigmarole involving at least one utterance of "you're crazy, Jon! It'll never work!", and then it was just Tom Phillips saying "yeah, go for it".
I think now I should concentrate on getting some proper storyboards going, now I've got some drafts together. They're shown at the top there, but I've also got links to them on Myspace. It's probably quite awkward to do it like this, but I can't figure out other ways to do it, so here we go:

For some of the storyboarding I'd like to get photos of the outside locations I've been thinking about and interior of my genius shed (Burby's doesn't even come close, trust me). That way people can make suggestions about how well they'll really work, as well as letting me check out the best angles etc. Mrs B had a talk with me about borrowing the school digital camera since my computer refuses to acknowledge the existence of my one... can I do that at some point this week, d'you reckon?
So yeah, make comments on my early storyboards unless you're looking to get a severe look of disdain later on this week.
