WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE FINAL CUT.
Or even the Special Editions. This is GREAT.
C3PO YOU F*CKER
I have a new favorite Star Wars moment.
I love how the guy who opened the door is just like “it’s too late he was a dick any way no one will miss him I’ll just close this door”
OH YEAH! NEW VIDEO! HAWKVENTURES 5! IT HAS DRAMA! SANDWICHES! MAD PROFESSORS! CATS! PUBLIC TRANSPORT! COMEDY PERFORMANCES! KINDA!
Essentially, we - the Bath Spa Idle Playthings - went to do a comedy performance at the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol, so I documented it. There'd be more of our actual performances, but the camera filled up, so I had to wrap up what I could with iphone footage. Still, it was fun, and if I'm gonna put up filler before I upload my next more substantial project, then it might as well be this. COMMENT/SUBSCRIBE/SHOW YOUR FRIENDS!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. NEW SHORT FILM SKETCH THING. ITS CALLED MOVIE NIGHT. CHECK IT OUT. SHOW YOUR FRIENDS. TELL YOUR MUM I SAY HI.
So I spent all of summer making this. It emerged from a script idea I had in my scriptwriting module last year, but really, I just wanted to create a shot of a chicken puppet firing a machine gun. This is also my first-sort-of foray into proper short film-making, in that its 10 minutes long and has a sparse metaphor ruing throughout, that being of anxiety. You can get anxious about anything, no matter how stupid (in this case, over whether your friends will hate you because you didn't make cupcakes), and when you are, your head fills with ridiculous worst case scenarios that you're convinced will ruin your day. Usually, they don't, but in this, yeah kinda. I'm kind of proud that I've managed to work that in, but I wouldn't recommend reading into it more than that. There's popcorn being made with satanic powers and a chicken being launched into orbit. Speaking of which, this is easily the most advanced thing I've ever made, in terms of length and tech, and its so fucking stupid. I'm proud. xD
Thank you to everyone who helped me on this. I love you all.
Moved back to uni. Our house has minimum to no internet.
Either way, I hope you are well. I made a thing a few weeks ago for #YoutubeLoFiWeek, a pretty cool initiative that happens every year to encourage fledgling Youtubers that you don't need a camera that shits gold or software crafted by the gods to make cool stuff. I mean - look at the feedback I got for this thing (not to toot my own trumpet - thank you by the way). People like it, and it was made with an iphone and some cardboard boxes. Go out into the woods, make a camera from gathered berries and sticks and make something rad.
I got into a fight with a donut...
...or maybe I filmed a fight scene which involves the chicken, fake blood and a fuck tonne of flour. Can't wait for this to go up...
Today, I launched a chicken into space...
...as part of my next thingie. Its called Movie Night. Its about a guy who's trying to organise his friendship group's most sacred of rituals, the movie night (wasn't gonna be a budget meeting, was it), and it all goes wrong. By saying its themed around anxiety and one's mind blowing things out of proportion, I'm saying I'm allowed to say that this me taking forays into actual "short film making" again, as opposed to a thing where people get shot up, satanic powers get thrown around and...a chicken gets launched into space.

The Big Fat Bloodstock 2014 Post
I went to Bloodstock Festival. It was fucking great, naturally.
- Props to Bloodshot Dawn and Evil Scarecrow for putting on amazing sets and drawing some of the biggest crowds of the weekend despite being on first on Friday and Saturday.
- Triptykon were the best band of Friday. They played like a snail slowly breaking time and space and every note, chord and syllable was played with utter power and deliberation.
- Children of Bodom, who I have been waiting to see since I was 13, were so good they sounded like they were playing on record.
- Carcass were the band of Saturday. Few things are as monumentally awesome.
- Decapitated were a hundred times better than when they were touring with Lamb of God. And they were bloody great then.
- Good job Rotting Christ for being so heavy I almost vomited.
- Phil Anselmo? Bit racist.
- Morgue Orgy were the discovery of the weekend. They take a leaf from Black Dahlia Murder's book in that they play death metal but take themselves very not seriously. And they were canned sausages. Everywhere.
- Emperor have kind of changed my view on black metal for the better.
- Amon Amarth were the band of Sunday. Johan Hegg is one of the greatest frontmen ever. Such pyro.
- Megadeth are cool. Dave Mustaine is not. Didn't get the chance to get him to sign my Rotting Christ CD.
- Some guy accused us of stealing his camp chairs despite tripping himself over his own accusations and insults. He called me a wag and my mate a sock. It was funny.
- I saw Big Bird stumble around the arena, vomit and walk away. Innocence truly died that day.
Coming this summer...
The fuck is a tumblr.
More filming for the thing today. Seen above is the creation of a shot that I have had in my head for months and am finally getting to create. Wonderful.
No, I am Groot...
Guardians of the Galaxy, probably unsurprisingly given Marvel's track record, is pretty damn great.
Risky move or not, I couldn't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy due to it basically being Avengers Assemble with more arson and malicious property damage, with a tree and raccoon - mainly the latter. Not gonna lie, I don't know comic books much beyond their film or game adaptions so I had never heard of GOTG before the movie was announced. You can probably garner my reaction to their being a small woodland animal that steals spaceships and shoots people just by looking at my Youtube channel. What I wasn't expecting was that Rocket Raccoon would probably be the best character Marvel has put to film - he's angry, hilarious, conflicted (there's a great scene involving some alcohol and a large gun) and is also a small woodland animal that steals spaceships and shoots people.
My only complaint is that the start is veeeery exposition heavy. Its hardly a spoiler, but they just straight up push Thanos to the front as much as they do Ronan The Accussor. Sure, we know he's there, but a subtle, scary introduction would have been brilliant rather than a OH HI MR MAD TITAN HOW ARE YOU TODAY thing. Whatever. It's great.
Redfest broke me...
...but I got to meet Skindred so its okay...Arya Goggin looks just like Dan from Game Grumps, huh...
To summarise the day:
- BABY GODZILLA ARE THE GREATEST LIVE BAND I'VE EVER SEEN. CATCH THEM IF THEY CAN - which you probably won't because they'll be running around tearing the venue down.
- Heart of a Coward did a splendid job at headlining the second stage even though there were only 20 people there. Prey and Around A Girl still kick ass.
- If Skindred aren't headlining huge festivals in the next 10 years then...well, they've probably retired or something because they will.
- Skies In Motion broke down on the M25 and never made it (gf was sad), which sucks for them, but I don't know if several other bands got stuck behind them or something because there was a good chunk of time where no bands were playing on any of the stages. Thus, The Catharsis get the cake for kicking the festival's ass and bringing the energy back a thousandfold.
- The Dirty Youth win the prize for having the most hilariously stand-still crowd I've ever seen from a live show. I don't know if it was because the music was just sort of okay or whatever but they brought a whole new meaning to "raising the dead." The epitome of meh.
- Somersby cider is nice.
IF YOU'RE RECKLESS, AND FREE...
Hello Tumblr I went to Spain for a while lolololol I'm back.
- Response and feedback for "Delivery?" has been lovely. You're all great. Next thing is in production.
- New Suicide Silence is fantastic. Their catharsis-against-sounding-fucking-evil has always been great but this a whole other level.
- New Mastodon is also pretty good. Summer vibes all up the walls
- New Allegaeon is even better and is one of my favourite albums/discoveries of the year. I reviewed them here: http://skeplunk.com/2014/07/16/allegeaon-elements-of-the-infinite-910/
Bye
AT LONG LAST. IT IS DONE. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
New video's up. It's called "Delivery?" and was a bastard to put together. But I'm pretty proud of it, if only for THAT BIT WITH PARLIAMENT in the middle...
Also includes a message at the end about the Idle Playthings performing at Edinburgh Fringe.
COMMENT/SHARE/CHECK IT OUT. Thanksmuch.
The RH Experience are wicked great...
...and you should totally go see their totally improvised show Stuck at Edinburgh Festival this August, as well as my own uni's comedy society The Idle Playthings with their internet themed sketch show Ctrl+Alt+Sketch. Do it.
In other news, fuck blockbuster movie delays. I have REAL filmmaking problems. Like needing to go to London to film cats falling from the sky. You'll see. It's for Delivery. It's almost done but I feel this needs to be in it too. I dunno. All I know is my "one-video-a-month" quota is well and truly dead now and I'm scraping its bloody carcass up and done Final Cut's footage timeline. Woopydedoo.
Also, here's my review for Trap Them's totally calm and relaxing new album that definitely will not tear your head off. It's called Blissfucker: http://skeplunk.com/2014/06/28/trap-them-blissfucker-810/
