Hey Jude
don't make it bad
take a sad song
and make it better
Remenber to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better

Hey jude, don't be affraid
you're made to go out and get her
the minute your let her under your skin
then you beggin to make it better

and anytime you feel the pain
hey jude don't carry the world uppon your shoulder
for well you know that it'sa fool who play it cool
by making his world a little colder

Hi all,

Anyone seen this?

"The German" - 10 minute CGI short movie about BoB...

I recently completed my second short film 'The German', starring Toby Kebbell (Control, RocknRolla and the up-coming Prince of Persia) and Christian Brassington (Elisabeth: The Golden Age and Easy Virtues). I wrote and directed the film.

www.thegermanmovie.com

The blurb!

November 1940, during the greatest conflict man has ever known, an epic duel unfolds between two ace pilots, each willing to take the match to it�s ultimate conclusion. Unknown to the pilots is a fate neither has considered.

The German is a war story seen through the eyes of RAF officer A C Barton (Kebbell) who will take his fight to the very end. The singleminded desire for revenge drives Barton, but when it comes face to face, can he pull the trigger?

Shot on 35mm (anamorphic), and posted at 2K, the opening of the film is an aerial battle between a British Spitfire and a German Me 109, all of which I completed here at Image Now Films over a six month period. This is a combination of Live action/stills and fully CGI shots.

I have made up a website for the film, which has a trailer and effects breakdowns and a small behind the scenes clip. I have also written a little about the process involved.

Pretty much like the my last short film, A Lonely Sky, the film was made on a relatively small budget (70K euro). It was funded by the Irish Film Board, under a short film scheme they run.

While that sounds a lot, when broken down under the regulations for filming, it all disappears very quickly. The Effects budget was a big fat zero, so a lot of long hours again.

Unfortunately I can't put the film on the web yet, because of film festivals. It was selected for Palm Springs, and LA Shorts as well as the San Paulo film festival.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Nick

Leo "Apollo11"

Back from gambling, an Oriental guy at our table won $3000.

And you?

Leo "Apollo11"

P.S.
I never gamble...

That $3000 was on one hand in bonus six. Best I had was a straight, he had a straight flush that pays 30-1. I lost around $225 counting what I gave my brother.

Happy Turkey Day.

Until last week we had almost +20 degrees Centigrade and now it finally dropped around 0 (i.e. freezing)...

Happy Thanksgiving, Thread dudes.

Funny thing how some holidays manages to make the Atlantic crossing while some don't.

For example, just ~15-20 years ago we didn't celebrate Halloween here, but it has been imported and is increasing strongly.

Thanksgiving, however, is stone dead here. I have never even tasted turkey.

Edited: Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving yourselves BTW!

Among the many blessings in my life that I can be thankful for, including family, health and happiness, I am very thankful for AE, THE THREAD!!!, and all of my Thread Brothers.

And, of course, I give thanks today for the happy homecoming for Eric and Claire.

Note to self; If I ever go to the USA and make that round trip I'm dreaming about, I must remember to take some smoked reindeer hearts with me ...

On a side note, it could be quite interesting to bring those through the customs security screenings ...

Hear, hear ! Mike. Many things to be thankful for today. Turkey's finally on the barbie and has a few hours to go.

Good time to raise a glass of the vino and give thanks for Claire's homecoming. Joy of the Day to both Eric and Claire !

Well Per, if your ever in the USA on Thanksgiving, there will always be a place for you at our table. (And some turkey in front of it!).

You might want to hold on that. You can order smoked reindeer (although probably not hearts) via the internet. But our airport security people are infamous for their lack of humor, or sensitivity. Not to mention any kind of humanity!
