so Mr Cormack is on some small island in the Phillipines, detoxing, getting massaged, doing Yoga, not eating but basically having an experience. This marks the one year of working with us here at Closer Productions, hmm telling. I think Soph and I could do with similar treatment.!
we have finished a rough cut of our next short film Elephantiasis. its coming along well, weighing in at the just under 11 min mark. look forward to polishing it up soon.
blogging, bloggin, blog. its been a while, i think us Labmob should stay in contact and Pressing a few Words out is a good way to do it no.?
hey heres a request, we seem to have misplaced a medium sized camera battery, did anyone come across one in their FL pack ups.!? a Sony number, not one of the big chunky buggers but not the ultra thin useless ones either..
oki doki i am off to read to Audrey.
more soon.

well here we are then, 3 days passed the end of the beginning..
the much anticipated and faught for 3 weeks have come and gone. but they will be remembered.
since then, Matt B and I have shot a days worth of green screen Gangsta shit to populate an animation for his sneakers on the wire film, Flying Kicks. Including a cheesy jogging cameo by me, a shoot out, Viron making a remarkably believable appearance as a bearded, alcoholic, bum, Matt Bate tossing… (oh sneakers that is) and some young shopping ladies come hookers, all in a days work.
then Soph and i have been running around Filming the Adelaide Festival of Ideas, which has been really rather fascinating and engaging, check SlowTV in a few days for some interesting sessions. We picked up the Elephantiasis rushes and are launching into that edit on Monday, then there is another dance show from the amazing Restless Dance Theatre to cut, a film clip to shoot and edit for Neon Electric (the same talented peeps that did the music for closers 90 FilmLab vid), a week of filming the incredible dance show ‘construct’ as it hits Adelaide and then off to Melbourne and MIFF for a screening of Necessary Games and then on the 2nd August launching into a 10 week edit of a one hour SBS doco. Sheesh when you put it like that there certainly are a lot of things to do.!
there is a general wash of FilmLabness still bangin around inside me noggin, maybe this is what Stephen was on about ‘needing to settle’, although with our schedule i am not sure anything really has a chance to settle. ahh i am tired, but optimistic and excited. i am not ready to do the big sign off blog wrap up of FilmLab so i will leave that for a more lucid moment.
