Well had a bit of a kip...so feel refreshed. Taking Doodle to the vets (found him last night outside in the garden!).

Watched a BRILLIANT short movie called, 'Being Bad'. 10/10. Cinematography was AWESOME. Story was superb. Riveted, from beginning to end. About three street kids, one a thief, one a dreamer, one a call-boy. Man, it was so choice a. Director was Laurence Coriat (who also wrote it). Producer was Norma Burke. Cinematographer was Natasha Braier.

After watching that, it has inspired me to get my A into G and do a short movie before the year is out!!! And I am going too!!!

Another thought for the day...Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

It is 3:40 a.m. as I write this. I am worried about our cat Doodle, who has a bad wound on his throat. I will take him to the vets today. But, he has disappeared! He always sleeps with us, and this is the first time this has happened, so I am very worried. I will go and look for him again soon. He is a very friendly cat.

As for the movie...well I will be focusing on making a short movie to finish this year off. I would still like to do Shifty and Shorty. I finished a 3 min 'filler in' for Whangarei TV station. So I am happy about that. Nothing great, but hey, it was on my little mini DV! My camera work is very good now. My eye for lighting has improved a great deal too. Still need to work on sound. For now my focus will be the 3min music video. I plan to do that 100%.

Thought for the day...Far better it is to dare mighty deeds and fail, than to be one of those cold and timid souls, who live in a gray twilight of nothingness and never have the courage to dare at all.
