Year Two, 3D bollocks and an utter lust for the BBC website... |
|
|
So it's been a while since i've updated but nothing major has happened...
but!
lots of minor things have happened to the point where i feel it's worth an entry..
Firstly and almost certainly most importantly i've started my second year of Uni. and things have been really good so fair, i've got some great modules this year, Radio Drama, Documentry Photography, Interactive new media systems, Print Journalism and Film Fiction. With the exception of INMS i'm really facinated by everything i'm doing, INMS is focused on web design mostly and i've got nothing as a starting point. Absolutely fucking nothing. But i guess i'm at uni to learn in the first point so more on this as it develops...
I've also been on the student radio a few times these few weeks, to great compliments actually. In the name of modesty i wont go over some compliments i've had but the word 'natural' came up a lot... I was even requested by a stranger who emailed the studio the other day..
Saw 'The Final Destination 3D' after being in the studio actually, I've really started to loathe 3D cinema, it's becoming pitiful. At first this new wave of admittedly impressive 3D technology was great. 'My Bloody Valentine' was terrific, gimmicky fun but the fun runs out as quickly as it ever does with a cinematic gimmick. It's more expensive even if you save the glasses from your last visit, i've got a cineworld unlimited card and i still have to put in a quid fifty for the eye strain... Essentially it's good fun but it's being horrifically overused. Coraline was a really wonderful movie but the 3D almost spolied it. and now they're even releasing older movies (Toy Story) in this brain itching format...
Toy story alone is enough on the big screen! Surely? it's such a joyous film!
Going back to Radio, i've been listening to a massive amount of BBC radio plays of late. It's really terrific, i cant stress enough how much i've been impressed with the BBC website, Radio Comedy, Radio plays and the Short Film section.
For Example:
Chain Gang
Gash
Oedipus
Khoda
Have a look! spend an afternoon with the archive of 5 minute treasures...
the first two are by a group called 'Rong' who are just great  really funny.
the last is... something else entirely...
It's been a while but i think that's enough for now
Oh and the student Radio I mentioned is called Tequila
and
can
be
found
here
Bye!
