Google Wave For Filmmakers

So i've joined the trendy geek masses and signed up for Google Wave.
I've only been "on" a couple of hours and have yet to experience a fully fledged "wave". I'm working with my web designer for my new website and I see the collaborative nature of GW being useful in that capacity. We had said we would send files back and forth via email, but this certainly seems like a way to streamline the collaborative process, particularly when I schedules and geography keep us apart.

I don't usually collaborate when I'm writing, but if I ever did, I could possibly see GW becoming instrumental for that too... Possibly...

In short, I didn't really see myself using it much at all, perhaps the odd time, that is until I came across the following article from The Chandler Blog.

Google Wave for filmmakers: A concept.

As someone said in the comments section: "It’s exactly this kind of “out of the box” creative thinking that will make Google Wave a success."


I tend to agree.

Horrorthon 2009

The program for this years Horrorthon has been announced.

I'm personally very excited about seeing Romero's classic and the TRUE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE DEAD TRILOGY* Day of the Dead on the big screen. And what's more, Joseph Pilato will also be in attendance! He also had a small role in Dawn of the Dead fact fans.

*A controversial comment for some, but I don't really consider Land or Diary as part of the original series, but part of a new series.

New colour corrected version of my last music video now on Vimeo

There has only ever been a "straight outta FCP" version of this video online.

This is the colour corrected version that was used for broadcast.

I only got my hands on a copy this morning.
