To quote Lt. Aldo Raine on my latest project might be somewhat of an over statement, but it's certainly my biggest film to date. Running at 33 minutes and 29 seconds, The Norquay training video is finally complete. Unfortunately it contains an overwhelming amount of copyright songs so it's nearly impossible to find a website I can post it onto to show you guys. You'll just have to make do with this screen shot:
Tantalising, I know, but you'll just have to wait. This does mean my time at Norquay is coming to an end, which is both a happy and sad thing. I will miss the people, but I definitely won't miss my 6 o'clock alarm.
So I've been getting into my graphic novels recently (or 'Comics for Adults' as I think they're officially referred to). I started with the Canadian/Manga style comic series, Scott Pilgrim, which is about an unemployed 23 year old slacker who fights bad guys in his spare time. As you've probably guessed, I identify very much so with this book. Then I moved onto more political graphic novels such as Waltz with Bashir and Persepolis. These were great as they were about about history'n'that, whilst being portrayed in an idiot-friendly manner. If all history textbooks dictated events with bright colours and speech bubbles, I would have definitely paid more attention in school. Now I'm onto the more hardcore surreal side of graphic novels, as I'm currently reading Black Hole by Charles Burns, which is about the spread of a sexually transmitted mutant plague in 1970s Seattle. Here is one of the pages. It is probably one of the more sane parts of the book.
