So we have the filming at Corby with the SS-20 guys 100% confirmed. Should be cool. Filming at night on the 4th of April. We are hoping that the light situation is good enough but the Z1's iris should be able to handle the slightly low light.
One other problem would be the orange light, but that shouldn't be a problem either since we are going to be after effecting all the footage we capture.
Anyway SS-20 has been an established skate shop for 20 years, (you can see huge ads for them in sidewalk if you look out for it.) So we are hoping that the footage we get will be really great. We have three hours there to shoot.
Corby has also recently added a huge half-pipe and is one of the better skate parks in the UK.

We have also been invited to film a skate event in Corby, as far as we have been told its a private event and the skate team has booked the entire night out just for themselves so we could get some very nice indoor footage for the film.
We also have a MySpace group, as much as I dislike it MySpace will be very useful for getting us better known to people and Drew runs that.
Getting a bit worrying as we will start filming in two weeks time and there is a lot to do. I just hope the quality of skateboarding this time around is a lot better.

Okay well so in terms of getting music that front has been very good so far. We have been given permission to use a few songs by Meet Me In St. Louis, which I have edited together and can be heard above and also DJ Addiction, who will be putting together a Dub-Step track for us to also play on the film, which means that we only have to find one other piece of music to go, which is likely to go to the Milton Keynes section of the film.
I have loads of stuff to update but a few problems with the website have stopped me from doing that but it is now standard compatible and have spent most of tonight getting it to work and so now at 2:41 am I am chilling out listening to The Clash and updating this.

Talk to Ford is a parody of the Ford C-Max "baby" advert in which a man dances around with his baby to give some notion that the C-Max is as equally as comfortable as he is.
The idea for this parody came about during a poker and drink enfused night in which we questioned the sanity of the dad who was throwing his baby around and decided he was on drugs, within the next week this short was made with the collaboration of Mr. Phil Eaton and Rich Cracknell of Geek Pie Productions.
We decided that the father in question was probably high and turned it into an advert for Talk to Frank, a hotline for drug questions and assistance in the UK.
We later sent them the ad to see their response but they sent back a email stating that they do not accept submissions and if we wanted any drug advice to call them ... the cheeky gits.

This is an updated version of the Ballyhoo video that was made in the summer of 2007. This version has had it's own music written for it and has also had about 5 seconds of extra footage added in.
It has also been redone in Adobe After Effects to a much better standard than the original Ballyhoo, with changes only being made in Adobe Premiere Elements.
The reasons for these changes being made is that the video was spotted on YouTube by the Extreme Channel. They have said that they would like to broadcast it on their show, Ex-Tube.
