I HAVE A NEW BLOG! http://medicatedcretin.tumblr.com/

Please do check it out I have yet to have any followers. Sad face. If you're interested in ADHD, cessation of medication (anti depressants or anti anxiety), give it a gander, it follows my journey going from 150mg Venlafaxine to nothing over the course of about 6 months. I'll probably continue it following other aspects of life...Let me know if there's anything you would like to see etc, I'll keep this blog running too but delete the "Ellie Mentally" side as all the posts have been moved over to the new address. Peace!

At night the coral reef parrotfish sleep in a blanket made of mucous to protect themselves from parasites.

Advice to people who can still drink:

Never let yourself get the point of intoxication where you feel accountable for nothing. If you realise you’re there, it's time to go home. Just because you feel that way, doesn’t make it true and tomorrow will be a harsh reminder of that (if not from yourself, then from someone you ran into).

Just Visiting from Elizabeth Earle on Vimeo.

This was my final project for New Zealand Broadcasting School's Digital Video Post Production course (2008). I decided to do a visual representation of what it's like moving from a dream into a nightmare. The happy stage, where nothing could go wrong, then that part with a horrible sense of foreboding where the colour sort of gets sucked out of the dream, then the weird transition period where it's definitely dark now, and finally the horrifying climax which jolts you awake. You're left with that feeling like the dream is still there, and it will reclaim you as soon as you fall asleep again. The voiceover was performed by Nick White and I had some great helpers on shoot with me (see credits)

This short film was a class project for Second Year Bachelor of Art and Design at Media Design School. I wrote and directed this piece, and I'd say the biggest challenge was to get the relatively complex idea across on screen in such a short space of time, and with very little dialogue. Thanks for watching, and I hope you like it!

Spank Commercial Cinema from Elizabeth Earle on Vimeo.

This is the first TVC I did in a set of 3 for my final project at Natcoll Design Technology in 2010. The school is confusingly now called Yoobee, but I bet the courses are just as awesome now as they were when I had the pleasure of attending. Full creative control over a project is something I relished, as I knew I'd have a hard time getting the time and equipment to do it again for a while! I wrote, designed, shot, edited and did the audio for all of these - HOWEVER I could never have done it without the help of my FANTASTIC class and tutors at Natcoll '10! So here it is: Introducing Spank, the aphrodisiac drink. Enjoy the silliness!

The second in a lot of 3 commercials I did for my fictional aphrodisiac drink Spank. Part of my Final Assessment submission at Natcoll. Sigh...good times. Thanks to the brilliant stars of this one: Gregg Joseph, Duke (our awesome tutor) and Moses Robbins. Y'all were FABULOUS.

The thrilling conclusion to the TVC of the Bus Stop I made for Natcoll (now called Yoobee) school of design. Big thanks to the tutors and students of Natcoll 2010, especially the stars Moses Robbins, Simon Boxall, Gregg Joseph and our tutor Duke! You guys were awesome!

Spank Bus Stop Part 1 from Elizabeth Earle on Vimeo.

One of the TVCs I wrote, shot, directed and edited for my final project at Natcoll. The ads are for a fictional range of drinks I designed called Spank which, instead of acting as an energizer, are supposed have an aphrodisiac effect. Check out part 2 of this video to see the outcome!

Futuristic Gun Control Idea

Here's my idea for gun safety laws in response to the recent mass shooting in Oregon:

Make lethal weapons illegal to own by the public. Only police can carry them, and rifles for hunting with strict permits, and only to be carried in hunting season in designated hunting areas with safety wear (High-vis vests etc). Pour funding into researching and mass producing non-lethal self defense weaponry to be made available to the public. Every gun-owner has to hand over their lethal weapon and it'll be replaced with a state of the art non-lethal weapon. How would this work? Just hear me out. Let's say a bad guy carries an illegal weapon and mugs a citizen. The victim takes him down & simultaneously tag him with the non lethal weopan. Victim escapes, suspect is "tagged" for police to find, question, and give up the gun. Only a medical professional can remove the tag, or risk major complications if the suspect tries to remove it himself (like one of those exploding ink tags you get at upmarket clothing stores). It could possibly contain a biologically engineered sort of non-lethal "virus" which may, for example, turns his skin bright purple or something. Something to easily identify him as a criminal. If he doesn't rupture the capsule containing the virus (say, by trying to remove the tag himself), it simply acts as a GPS to track his wherabouts until police can find him, question him, and locate the gun. If the capsule ruptures, the virus is released and he is infected with something which will identify him as an illegal gun owner to the public as well so THEY can report his wherabouts. If it is a simple misunderstanding, he can goes to the doc/police and "turn himself in." If he can prove it was legit, or a misunderstanding, the doc can administer an "anti-virus". Otherwise, he just walks around visibly "tagged" till he's found and questioned. There would have to be a mass destruction of surplus guns in a public capacity (and/or donate them to the tightly-controlled military). Where does the funding come from to create these state-of-the-art non lethal weapons, you ask? Think of the billions the government would save in medical bills for gun-related incidents. Where better for your tax dollars to go than into a fund to protect the public and make your country a safer place to live?

Seems to me that the people opposing gun restriction laws are those who are masquerading behind the argument that "they have the right to protect themselves". If you were to give them a continued and improved method of self-protection, (the non-lethal weopans) the argument falls away to reveal what it really is: A penis-size comparison. If someone wants a collection of guns for collecting sake, they should be fine with giving up the bullets or locking its firing mechanism to make it a harmless piece of metal. That, or take up coin collecting.
