I'm adding a new element to this blog starting today. I've been starting to make a few little films with my new camera and I'm loving it big time. It's a Canon 60d with a few bits of cheap glass on it. The first (very short) film is here for your viewing pleasure.
I shot it for my girlfriend Leah as she was trying to get some showbiz job slack lining between two cars (she didn't get it, boo). It was a last minute rush job before we went to Greece for a climbing trip which generated another short film but is far from finished yet!

I've been scouring the internet for all sorts of tutorials to get this stuff learnt as quickly as possible and there is some great stuff out there namely www.philipbloom.net in his education section. The only thing that I have noticed is (obviously) everyone concentrates on their platform and that is very often Mac and FCP. I don't like Macs and I'm more than happy to argue until the sun goes down about why. I am not saying they are bad, I just don't like them end of story.
As a result I thought it was time someone started doing some basic, decent quality tutorials from the beginning of the learning curve through to a finished short film. I'm going to use the Slacklining video as an example to start with and post some tutorials that will show the way I worked on it on my Windows 7 PC.
It'll probably go up in a few hours hope you like it and please comment on everything as it's the only way I'll be able to make things better.
