Live in New Zealand
Posted by admin on 05 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: General
Depending on how you pronounce it, “Live in New Zealand” could have either of two meanings. In this case, it has both, because:
- Planet Nerd has gone live on Triangle TV, broadcasting from satellite and terrestrial stations at 9pm Friday nights, and
- New Zealand is going to be my life-raft when the rest of the world is drowning/boiling/starving in about 40 years’ time
I congratulate the New Zealanders on their good taste, robust climate, fertile soil and high mountains.
Portable Film Academy: Forever, Episode 1: Karl
Posted by admin on 05 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Episodes, Segments
Last weekend I was lucky enough to be part of the inaugural Portable Film Academy. Thanks to Andrew Apostola and all the crew, helpers, speakers and other attendees it was a great weekend and I really learned a lot.
The core task for the weekend was to create an original online series, and below you can watch Episode 1 of our series called “Foreverâ€. This was produced by myself, Johnny Blank and Sebastian Goldspink.
Also a huge thanks to our star Oliver Clark, who was just brilliant as Karl. He nailed every scene in one or two takes, which was great because we were under a lot of time pressure.
