Luke made a short film in the summer holidays with his friends, plus a bit of help from others (like the use of a broadcast camera kit so it could be done in full HD!) It is a sci-fi story called 'Battle of Power' and was inspired by indie-mogul - a site which features stuff to help budding film-makers. I think its great fun! See what you think...???

A Seagull stole my gopro video camera! I just had to repost this one, with thanks to Mycal who found it first...

Being a Film Editor!

I worked with these guys at Central TV, as a film editor, way back in 1984. I worked in rooms just like that too ... so grey... This was shot for a Saturday Morning kids show...

Lost airline luggage and the rings of saturn!

Great Quote!

The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage.

Messing about on boats with master oarsman Luke! Fresh back from his Redridge outward bound week Luke knows a thing or two about rowing now. Unlike me, where  'parking' up was tricky! We took a riverside view of Warwick Castle and did some mini golf later. A sunny and pleasant 26th June 2010. Flip video. 6 minutes.

Luke does some breakdance moves to 'Telephone' from Lady GaGa - to an enthusiastic crowd at Theatre 28 in Birmingham. Great Fun!

Very typical Brussels mini green space - amongst the buildings, complete with whacky see-through art. Near to Rue du Trône, Bruxelles, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Belgique. Close to the European Parliament.

Gone to Brussels for a few days. I love St Pancras International ... it has real style, especially the restored roof.  Dad said it was on the news this evening, its up for sale apparently???!!  Mon 21st June 10

Still in Poland. Went on a tour of the innovation centre where our conference has been today - they couldn't resist letting us loose on the kids discovery centre! 10 June 10
