It has been some years since I put anything in this. Even just logging into the admin, WordPress looks somewhat different and I am unsure what I will post forward… but I have some old stuff worth reposting and some new stories worth telling. So maybe it’s time to dust this thing off and try … Continue reading
Brașov
Just realized I forgot to put this video up on here after I posted it onto YouTube a couple of months back. A small video montage made from footage shot from around Brașov in Romania in July 2014. I will be editing up another couple of videos soon, so I’ll post them up when I … Continue reading
London
Six months on in the UK and I haven’t been able to feel entirely settled. Each day is a mixture of love and hate with living here. My industry has such a wide pay scale and competition that good pay to work was much harder to come by than I expected. The first couple of … Continue reading
COW TV Retrospective
Just following up on my finished blog series on my time working on COW TV in Dunedin, I’ve uploaded the retrospective I made for the Otago Museum and later recut for broadcast on Channel 9 to YouTube and Vimeo. I had issues with one track used which had to be muted, but I have provided … Continue reading
COW TV (2006)
Continued from 2005 Part 3. After the holiday break I’d decided with the full on events of 2005 combined with the extra Channel 9 work that I had to drop working on COW TV for 2006, but former ScarfieTV producer Nic Roland – now producer for the 2006 (and also later 2007) season – roped … Continue reading
COW TV (2005 – Part 3)
Continued from 2005 Part 2. During the push towards the middle of the year Charlotte had now completed her time as the interim production manager, and station manager Keith had hired a replacement in Luke Chapman, who’d come from making advertising commercials in Australia (among other things including underwater video work). Luke was easy to … Continue reading
COW TV (2005 – Part 2)
Continued from 2005 Part 1. So after a rocky few weeks we arrive in April. On air in the studio is basically sweet, the one area where shows flow and the presenters seem to take over without effort. That’s not to say there isn’t some personality clashes here and there… but in general on air … Continue reading
COW TV (2005 – Part 1)
Continued from 2004, Part 3. So after my return from Wellington at the end of 2004 I had, as mentioned in my last post months ago, decided I would make a return to Channel 9. Hopefully to both continue to help with COW TV as well as hopefully pick up more work from the station. … Continue reading
Delays
Man, I can’t believe I haven’t touched this since shortly before I left overseas. I flew out of NZ on May 26th, traveled for almost 3 months, and now have been living in London for two months. Looking for work has been lengthy and almost torturous at times, but these are all stories for later … Continue reading
Toyota
Today I sold my car. Kind of. I have it still for another few weeks until I actually drop it to the buyer so I can get to and from work until my last shift on May 23rd, but I’ve accepted the offer and taken half of the price with the other half due on … Continue reading
