  “Will great Neptune’s oceans wash this blood ?”

   » ‎ David
  OK, I know, we’ve all read Shakespeare … Macbeth in Year 10 or 11, right ? “Will great Neptune’s oceans wash this blood clean from my hands or will it rather the seas incarnadine ?” So why bring it up now ? When I was shaving this morning, I suddenly had the [...]

  I have no idea why my last comment did that, but if you read it backwards, you will know what I said.

  Going to the zoo

   » ‎ Joanna's Ramblings
  Sarah finishes at 2 today, so I am meeting her at Circular Quay and we’re going to the zoo. Last night we went to Madama Butterfly. It seemed that Cheryl (Barker for the uninitiated) had recovered from her indisposition as she was listed on the cast sheet. But just as it was about to begin [...]

  Find a Friend in the Film

   » ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

  Finn and I have been playing Lego Videogames for most of his life now. He used to sit on my knee and watch me play Space Robots before he had the words to christen them Space Robots.

  And while he has a great fondness for anything on a screen he is especially keen on Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Batman. And for a while now he has been talking about the Finn Lego Game. He makes models with his Lego, he tells me what characters will be in each one (mostly his kinder friends) and asked me to make this video game for him.

  When I explain that I don’t have these skills he insists that he ask the people at the game shop to make one. Just the other day, obviously sick of waiting, he asked me to make him a blank white book so that he could write the instruction manual. Once that was finished he wanted a DVD cover to put it in (only $1.20 at JB) and a disc as well. Nicky took some photos for the cover and they look great.

  I think that Finn would have been happy with a disc with a picture on the surface but instead we went down to the creek and shot some footage for a little promotional movie (these often feature at the start of the game). At first Finn was not interested but he soon warmed to the idea.

  He hasn’t seen the end result yet; I certainly hope he likes it.

  Finn Video Game Movie

   » ‎ Finn Henry

  Finn would really like a Finn Video Game just like the Lego ones. He often makes up stories and models for it with his real Lego and has asked me to make the video game for him or ask the people at the shop to do it.

  Since none of this is possible we have made a little film like the one these games have as an introduction. It’s not especially true to the genre but hopefully Finn will like it a little.

  I am glad for my film making skills but do sometimes wish I had actual talent or, at least, was less of a hack.
