Video Blog

Again, I am sorry about the appalling infrequency of my posts, but I think its a problem that most bloggers seem to have. So I feel no harm done! (hopefully)

So I am trying something new. I have decided to make a video blog on youtube. This is because my film making life/ career (eventually we hope) is becoming my actual life and so I am going to use my video blog to actively record the progress I go through to make my films, because its fun, and probably reasonably interesting (I hope). I mean you don't really notice HOW MUCH work goes into making even a 5 minuet short film until you make one! But don't get me wrong it is like the funnest most rewarding thing ever.

Basically I write, storyboard, design, film, even sometimes have brief acting moments, in my films. So naturally my video blog will be covering all of these things and so much more. I think it will be fun!

So head over to Seriously Wak Films and subscribe! (Because I would feel kind of stupid if I was talking to no one!)

Above is a photo of Daisy on set of my next movie, which will be released onto the internet very very soon! 

Ps I will still be blogging about as frequently as I do now on here so don't fret.

Hope you like.

A Little Bit More.

Suddenly, but not suddenly at all the time left where I am now, is not so long. Today its raining, but on average the weather is picking up. I can feel my urge for adventure growing stronger by the day. We have visited many places, explored all the nooks and crannies of this small cornish town. The cliffs and bays and trees have been our retreat but at this point they have become too familiar. 

Before we move on, begin the search further a field, I appreciate what we had/ have, it is and will be held for ever in these photos...

Birthday Extravaganza

So I may be wrong in thinking this but, now that I am 19 I think that I have officially exited childhood. This is actually quite sad; so far all I have ever known is my childhood, because (obviously) it is all I have ever lived! Now I am in this strange void of emptiness, which I suppose is just space which will be filled by the rest of my life. Its just strange because it is sort of like starting again, re-introducing yourself to the world, but this time it is more serious, and as each year passes I feel there will be less and less room for mistakes and discovery! A terrifying prospect. 

So with this in mind, I started my new liberated 19 year old life with a good ol' trip out on the salty sea.

We used this (fake) go pro that I got for christmas all day and I turned it into a movie, so do watch...

Take 15.

I have this friend called Cecilia, she's like super cool, you know, she's like THE friend. Well I was with Cecilia on New Years Eve. We sat on the hay bails by the fire, midnight approaching fast. We discussed the coming year, and what we were going to achieve in it. It was such a powerful conversation, in the moment of it all I felt, given the chance I could do absolutely anything. We both felt that. We decided that this is our year, 2015, twenty fifteen, this is when it all happens for us. And I am so excited. 

Below are some photos taken just after the conversation I mentioned perviously, the first photos of the year...

Ces and I dancing with the fire.

And what started as embers became Mount Vesuvius. 

But the yurt continued to sit comfortably in the background.

And both man and fire breathed smoke into the night.

In the end all they could do was to watch form afar.

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you. Let it be great for you too. Please. 

Hope you like.

My First Film: Two Thousand

I have completed my first film!! So please watch it, if you like, because whats the point in making a film for no one to see! I hope you enjoy it.

 

I hope you like.

In Black and White.

So it is nearing the end of term now. I can not even begin to tell you how excited I am to go home, like SO EXCITED! I mean Cornwall is nice but Yorkshire is just on another level of awesomeness! This time next week I will be embarking on my incredibly long (10 hours) train journey home! 
Since I last posted I got my black and white film developed from the past month or so. The photos are taken in Falmouth, London and Berlin. 

In other news I have officially specialised in film and am currently making a kick ass movie. I will put it on here for everyone to view when I have done it. But don't hesitate to get excited!

Hope you like.

The Cross Roads.

I have reached a turning point in both this art foundation course but also life. Today I had my assessment, which is basically when the tutors look at your art work and tell you what you are going to specialise in. So basically they tell you what you are going to spend, hopefully the rest of your life doing. SCARY! 

So it would seem I am going to study film. WOOOOOOO!! This is actually so great, it was definitely what I was hoping for. 

Oh also I have a fringe now! It was quite a spontaneous thing I was in my friend Zoë's room the other night and we just did it. It was very funny. Anyway so this is what I look like now...

(this fabulous photo was taken by Hattie in Berlin last week) not too sure what is going on with the curtain look...I am still working on getting rid of my parting!

So anyway I am pretty sure that I must have told you about my love of Marika Hackman sometime before, I have been learning her music on the guitar for over a year now. One day hopefully soon I will record some of it and you can listen to it, but for now lets just stick to the original. God she is great. So she brought out a new song this month which I LOVE so much. I think its my new fave...

Make sure you give that ^ a listen.

Hope you like.
