Hamlet on FaceBook




Ahoy me Bloggers :-




The Bard is in the house -




My Production List

Ahoy me Bloggers :- Video camera - broken. Video capture card - no longer on my computer - my son has it. Video from mobile phone - low resolution - sound distorts - digital camera from mobile phone - not very good quality. Video library of old clips, bits and pieces, on large drive on PC, shaky, it doesn't always boot properly. Picture libraries, on each of three computers.

Sound track - this will not be a problem once narrative has been decided.

Narrative Story idea #5

Ahoy me Bloggers :- The anticipation is rising. The tension is building. And this is just the beginning. I look around around and everything seems to be in slow motion. There are people every where. They all seem to be looking at me. There is a sudden noise. And we are off. Running, speeding, sprinting, as fast as I can, leaping over any obstacle, I must be first. Faster. Faster. Faster.

I look up to the sound of a pneumatic 'whoosh'. It's the 9.18 106 bus to Magil.

"Whadda yer doing mate? Trying to qualify for the Olympics?"

Cut.

Narrative story idea #4

Ahoy me Bloggers :- Back on the bus - on a tram - the tram from Glenelg to the City - the passenger has a guitar case - looks out of the window - at traffic, at rain, at cars and bright lights. He gets off at Victoria Square and takes out his guitar from the case. He plugs into a little portable amplifier. He spins around and around the centre of the square as the traffic spins around him - camera motion with the traffic and against the traffic - rain, bright lights, traffic, cars. Already have soundtrack.
