... well why not have a listen to a wee ditty I recorded for the intro to and outro of a short film I made earlier this year called, Gigapixel, which I am looking forward to posting here in the not too distant future, i.e., once I get the go-ahead to do so. But the tune is free to go!
I hadn't intended to write a song for the movie, initially anyway, as I thought I could use an old one for free, seeing as the project was a not-for-profit, student production, but, apparently, that's not the case. So, I decided that it might be better, from the point of view of originality at least, to cut a tune myself, which I did, with the help of two dudes who are good at this kind of thing! Real dudes!
So here it is, What's a matter, Baby?, doffin' its hat to the old boys and weighing-in at a less than hefty one minute and twenty eight seconds - just for you.
Listen out for the purring uke too. :)
Hope you enjoy!
More soon ...
From the soon to be released motion picture, Gigapixel!
Prefab Four!
I haven't messed about with Lego for years, since I was around twelve years old, I reckon. In fact, I think the last thing I remember making was some kind of vintage Cadillac set, which I pieced together over a Christmas way back in nineteen hundred and whatever yer havin' yerself!
I must've been nearing my teens by then, because once I'd finished it, that was the end of that!
But this weekend gone, I was at it again! It was just impossible for me to resist this particular gem, Yellow Submarine, which was released (with a little fanfare) late last year, the brainchild of mega Lego fan and designer, Kevin Szeto. As soon as I saw it advertised online, I knew I had to have it, and, thus, it was hurriedly added to the Christmas list!
Assembling it was a really enjoyable experience too, quite therapeutic in fact, even if George looks more like George Michael than himself! It was a lot quicker and a lot easier to get right than I thought as well - though I'm sure I wouldn't be saying that, were there no instruction manual.
The point, though, I suppose, is that while part of me was insisting that I was being pretty hip, progressive and simply outré, the actual fact was telling me that, meh, nothing really changes!

Anyway, here's a snap of the finished article for you in all its glory!

All ye need is love ... and, maybe, eh, a leetil ova patience!
Altered images!
Of course, no, I just couldn't leave that wisp of smoke from the last post well enough alone!
It must be an innate need I have to see or create patterns. Sometimes it keeps me awake at night and, even then, there has to be a pre-fence and then a post-fence kind of order to the sheep I count!
But, yeah, I'm bleary-eyed from dealing with all that smoke by now! So, I'll open a window, and let some fresh air into the place before the next post!

Back Smokin'!
After all these years, I've started smoking again!
Well, I mean in the creative sense!
Ever since I took an interest in photography as a teenager, light years ago, I've always been intrigued by smoke and how to make it really stand out in a picture. Yeah, I tried and tried for years to get it right visually and messed around with different forms of side-lighting and back-lighting, and whatever else there was to hand, in my efforts to create an image that captured the essence. And I smoked a lot of cigarettes and wasted a lot of money with Bonusprint in the process too!
I do remember getting a couple of shots that I liked, and have since lost, but I still recall that the percentage return on investment was pretty low in general. But with cutting-edge equipment and space age post-production software available for very little nowadays, it didn't cost me much to set up a new experiment and have another go.
So this time, with lights, camera and incense stick at the ready, I sprang in to action!
