an early morning hole in the head |
Ended up watching Apocalypse Now on friday night on Film4 and seems the case with most films when it ends it ends, you just turn off and go. But I kept the TV on and experienced the end credits for the first time since despite first watching this film over and over since 1994!
Beautifully shot, beautifully dark and the sound is just amazing:
With the end of the decade looming, I've seen a lot of stuff about top albums released in the last 10 years on things like the guardian etc... Kind of reminded me of what I was expecting music to be like with the end of the 90's around this time in 1999. At the start of 2000 HMV just seemed like a neon mess of bright albums with vector graphics for dance compilations....I was expecting music to be well shit and in a way most pop music has been since then! I was very very wrong about other stuff though. Tried to put a list together and things will probably change over time as they always do!
(no smashing pumpkins in there either!)
can't wait for this to be fully live looks lovely, and easy to use and some degree of freedom, no mySpace acid green gifs here:

I found a tutorial over a year ago for a project that never went ahead that involved a puddle. With the help of some gradient and layer masks I managed to stitch the water into the second scene of my project.
my scene with a little rain shower too (no preloader so may take a little time to load 300kb):

I may know what to do sometimes but nobody will like it!
