I'd already put that film link up before, I confused myself (not hard!)
There will be some new content in the next few days though. I'm trying to figure out how one can get a cat to act. And I have my War of the Worlds "artwork" to finish up

My sci fi news
As I type this, I'm sat writing a longer format short story, one that doesn't really know now where it is going, and I'll only know when its got there. I have plans for all sorts of little films and skits, and indeed have one for you here...
And the Outlook is
This is a little skit I quickly filmed on impulse.

What am I trying to achieve?
I'm no genius. I know that. It pains me.
I am no performer, artist, philosopher; let alone a polymath.
What I am trying to do, with a lot of frustration, is try and capture the essence of what (rarely!) makes me think I'm any good. Trying to capture the lightning inspiration that I think my brain enhanced by Tourettes and or Aspergers. This is a purely spontaneous, stream of consceince kind of feeling. I can't write it down, record it, or film it. But I am going to try. I don't think I'm being very successful as of yet.
But I will keep trying. There's got to be something good I can put out into the world.

Steampunk Sci Fi movies
Was just wondering about his, as I equally pondered why someone called "Earth Science and Gay Sex" was looking at my sci fi tumblr.
What Steampunk Sci fi movies are out there? You'd have though with the popularity of the genre - the genre books do very well don't they? - there would be more out there. My in depth, sophisticated research reveals;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk#Television_and_film
Which seeing as I don't count Wild Wild West - to me Steampunk should have a more inherently European feel for some reason - and LXG was an abortion doesn't leave us with very much. Recently The Asylum had a crack with their version of Sherlock Holmes, but it wasn't fantastic, although rather more interesting than a lot of Asylum's output.
The genre is visually rich, gives you a chance to put some hot girls in interesting outfits, and gives chunkier chaps a chance to shine; for some reason I always have this idea in my head that a lot of Steampunk fellows are not the skinniest.
It also has the chance to incorporate fantastic design elements and Art Direction, and perhaps more adult themes than Space Opera type stuff.
I'd love to see something, and I'm not a steampunk fellow. But maybe it just doesn't put bums on cinema seats or flog DVDs.

STORY - Thirst
This is another very quick story, no edit, inspired by news reports of the impending drought here in the UK. What if it ended up being life threatening to some? Rather than hosepipeless inconvenience

Animatic Film Project
So, after a failed sneaky attempt to write a short script at work yesterday - the ancient, creaking, pre-2001 monlith heaps of junk can't run word in a virtual desktop without crashing repeatedly - I find myself about to go shopping to hopefully buy some bits and bos I need for my new project.
Basically I am going to try and make a film which is a story illustrated with my wn animatics. Now I'm no artist at all, so I'm going to keep everything nice and two coloured and simple. I suppose it will be like La Jetee only with drawings - A5 sketchbook and thick red and black marker pens needed, I think. Possibly blue and green ones needed for others.
I'm just trying to find new and cheap ways of putting things out there!
My script by the way, was for a sci fi short film featuring my mothers cat. Probably a better actress than most round here, and one that requires only waitrose pouches and Iams.
And unlike the Iams cat, our cat can read!

STORY - I The Vanguard
I wrote this after seeing a BBC story about Trident Missile renewal about 20 minutes ago. I love writing about sentient machines or other inorganic things

New movie project in the offing
OK, after an abortive attempt to shoot something in the week, I'm going to gather my "equipment" and head out on location to shoot some sort of sci fi project that kind of deals with the issues of Tourettes and Aspergers, or the great issues of whatever it is, whatever I am and whatever it is doing to me.
Everyone says they can never understand me, so I guess it's up to me to try and explain things a little. But only a little, don't want to take the mystique away, and I don't want to blow their minds!
Mainly people with AS BTW tend to associate themselves with the great "unemotional" characters of Sci Fi, Spock, Data, Seven of Nine etc. I wouldn't go so far, I've never been properly diagnosed and what I think I am varies from day to day, sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both. I don't want to hijack other peoples cultural experience I guess.
Tourettes, however, is something I wish it was able to get out there properly, nothing ever expresses what its like for your body to do the things that it does, the frenzy, the convulsing. Or the terrible and horrible obsessing, or how to have a productive life.
No Tourettes on TV and film is all coprolalic swearing crap.
