Too Far

First draught of my script. Hope you like it. It still has a bit of development to do. /Volumes/nodwello/Public/Too far.pdf

Conchords & Kiwi's

I saw a show the other day called Flight of the Conchords. It was amazing. Very funny. It's about a 2 piece band from New Zealand (Brett and Jermaine) living in america trying to make it in the music world, they're obviously talented in the real world but i the show they're not too hot. Their manager Murray isn't great either, getting them shows in hotel lobby's and library's. Its hilairous, very well written. It is aired on BBC4 quite a lot of the i think and there's lots on you tube of their equally funny live stuff . Enjoy!!!

Influences

To Andy Love,
In my review this year i was asked what my influenes are as a filmmaker. To this question, i had no answer. SHOCK HORROR!!! i filmmaker with no influences. I've some work to do. Alas i have decided on my first influence. Who is it do you ask? Is it Kubrick? .... no. Is it Spielberg?......no. Actually it may sound a bit strange, as he hasn't done that much, but i think Edgar Wright's style of film making has a sub concious influence on me as a filmmaker. Mainly the way i see shots and camera movement, well... atleast i like to think it does. For those who don't know him, he is often associated with the work of Simon Pegg. Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc. There is always a great sense of rhythm and the shots flow really well into each other. I like his style. There you have it, my first influence. Edgar Wright.




Yours Sincerely,

Nodwell :)

ICEWHOLE AND 2 Days Laughter

Just an update of somethings i have been doing outside of uni. I have aquired a brief for a comedy shorts competition call " 2 Days Laughter", i believe the competition before this was for horror shorts called " 2 days later" which explains everything.


I have also signed up to ICEWHOLE an online community for filmmakers and musicians to interact and display work.

I think everyone should do this.


MORE SOON!!!

I will be shadowing a project that Jools is taking part in. I believe from one of his seminars it is called ' Carcas ' an interesting film about a machine that drains you and puts another body inside your skin. I'm confused too.

I have been brainstorming.

1. I had a little daydream the other day about a man who lives in the wilderness but goes to work in the city. I thought it could be visually appealing. Thats a strange one.

2. I read an article about man who moved to Salford, bought a house for £50,000 and was happy until he started getting verbally abused and taunted by youths with nothing better to do. He had a strange relationship with them, he talked to them, was almost friendly with them, yet still they persisted to throw bricks through windows, break in through the back etc. He then got three female polish and slovakian lodgers. At this point they abuse turned more violent and local thugs physically abused him and shouted racist comments, threw eggs and other antisocial behaviour, towards the lodgers until they left. This is just an outline of the story and it also involved alot of other locals and how they were almost scared of the youths.
This can turn out into a great short with interesting plot and plenty of ideas can come from it.
