A Busy Elf!

As predicted I didn't make the short list for the Collabor8te script competition.  On the plus side it does mean that I can stop Googling how to spell Collabor8te.  And it did force me to finish a 15 page short film.

I was planning to take it easy leading up to Christmas but various things were delayed and now I find myself working on 3 projects!  The first one, I'm animating a CG character for a sketch show pilot.  It's unpaid but I sort of know the people involved and they're all good eggs who have helped me with voices.

The Second project is the Shoepie Christmas Special 2011.  I wasn't going to make one this year but at the last minute I decided to try and keep the tradition going.  So I'm going to get it done somehow.

And thirdly, together with a buddy I will be recording a test Podcast episode.  This is probably the scariest and with the highest probability of failure.  But someone, somewhere once said that if there's no chance of failure then you're not doing anything special.  So this Podcast should be fucking hilarious!

Here's a peek at one of the stars from this year's Christmas special (If I finish in time!)

The Best Men

Unfortunately I crashed out of the last Circalit short film writing competition, it sucks to be me I guess.  But that hasn't stopped me from entering their new competition.  Here's my entry The Best Men.  Have a read and let me know what you think.

It's an idea I thought of years ago and I briefly toyed with turning it into a feature film script.  But I think it works well as a short.  It's also feasibly a film that I could produce myself one day if I were to be brave and think about filming in the outside world.

I'm still waiting for the results of the Collabor8te short film competition.  Although upon re-reading my entry recently I don't think I deserve to get anywhere with it.  But who knows?

And finally, I'm pretty happy with the feedback from the Terminator Ultimatum sketch.  It's only had 600 views but it's had lots of nice things said about it.
