Brights, a plausible movement?

Something fan-friggin-tastic is upon mankind, it is being loosely referred to as Brights.

If you identify with what is published here http://www.the-brights.net/ then you could probably call yourself a Bright.

Organisation and individuality, on the surface, has never been an existence. Personally, nothing that has happened in my generation has been this exciting.

Go youtube, share thoughts. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ourben

I'm trying to paraphrase a tangable definition...
You don't become Bright, join Bright, find Bright or make Bright. It is or isn't.

The art of making a film!

To make a film takes nothing short of blood sweat and tears. I believe what we are making is going to be great. But it will take alot of effort. I am pleased to note that the actors have been set underway with their processes. So for the time being i haven't got a huge problem with that side. I only have a problem wiht my own process which needs to kick into 4th gear. The production side of the film has been put mostly into the director's hands. I hope he pulls through with great effect. Like he always does. So with a last note i am pleased to say we are on schedule and on the right path to produce something great.

Inside the box...

Another potential bread winner. I'm working on the front and back for a friend of mine.

So, without further ado, BUY BUY BUY THINGS!

Any flashers interested in the backend stuff, checkout amfphp. Quadratic uses remoting at the moment, but I'm toying with the idea of using the new socket class. From what i've tried, its faster. I may publish a java server when curlyben.com is a more feasible project.

"actors are people, only more so"

More fund raising...

The infra-red floods have arrived from Hong-Kong, climbing ladders should be fun.

I've been called in to "night vision" a local pubs security cameras, there are 9 and they are considerably out of arms reach - bitten of more than I can chew? Anyone want to foot a ladder in Castleford, free beer.

Oh the joy, this is all paying for gear for the April shoot, I trust my efforts are not going unnoticed?

Starbucks

A meeting over coffee. We argued over character, and we argued over how to find those characters - nothing short of productive. I have an appetite for the acting process, and the more I realise I don't know, the more I understand and appreciate their work.

The last few days have away have concluded in a major script overhaul, it was good before, now its great. There is a more perceivable difference between characters, and the text now envelops an intent.

Budget plans are pretty much concrete. I shall try to document the finances for the purpose of portfolio and to provide something of an insight for the rest of the cast and crew.

Does anyone know what 57db at 7 metres sounds like?

Cheap furniture.

In an effort to produce "Beneath the Skin" and produce in our image, hosting costs had to be cut.

So we're on blogspot now, Ben (ed) will continue to publish the technology stuff, but it will be homed here as opposed to curlyben.com.
