The Huffington Post features a beautiful review of Terry Gilliam, here.  I find it true, Sir Doctor Terry Gilliam is an auteur; an artist as in the renaissance artists.  His work and narrative to be compared not with a Spielberg, but a Leonardo (DaVinci, not DiCaprio, ya dig). 

I think this is a beautifully done short film.  Spiritual, but not over the top.

I wandered into a tunnel underneath Waterloo Station a few weeks ago, and spontaneously filmed Joax and James Brooks on their evangelistic quest to spread the gospel through art.  Went well, editing next week.

To loosely quote Bono, “I’m ready for  the lauging gas– I’m ready– ready- ready for what’s next.”  If I say this with a faux British accent it’s very funny, at least to me.

In the midst of completing a year-long process on a documentary, and a sit-com, and some corporates and video podcasts.  I’m gettng through the credit-crisis which became a downturn and is now a recession with a bevvy of micro-budgeted films.

I’ve had a huge learning curve how to make low-budget projects look and feel high budget.  That £10k? Make it look like £60k.  Unless you can make the project cool by it just looking £10k.

A long, long time ago, primitive humans lived in alcoves beneath the earth.They eventually made their way up through building tunnels, installing escalators and lifts: a system we now call the London Underground. Here’s a short promo I directed for Transport for London. History of the Northern Line from Bubble Up TV on Vimeo.   

We had a lot of fun filming this song, on the magical bean bag chair in Camden. It took a little while longer to film, cause of all the animatronics, CGI (did you know Szark is a CGI Sock?) and hiding the orchestra behind the Bean.But we got there.Just took two weeks.Featuring Marianne Sheehan and the venerable Owen Morse, song created by Svein Nygaard and shot by “Jeduto” Jeremy DuToit.
