Wow, it's been a while since I last posted. But many things have happened.
Firstly, my brother's wedding happened overseas which was an incredible and special experience. For someone like myself, who usually finds weddings to be excruciating, I had a really great time at my bro's. I won't go into details here, because I've probably told most of what happened in person and shown pictures.
Actually, a part of me is wondering if I should continue with this thing anyway! SOMEONE mentioned to me the other day that they felt blogs were self-indulgent. Like who gives a shit what anyone writes about anyway!?
But I think I will stick with it for a bit and whenever I can, because I think it's sometimes not TOO much of a time-waster for my relatives and friends who are overseas :)
Workwise, it's been pretty good. I'm getting some good gigs now and then, and the extra time I have off is great to relax and think about getting my act together. It's been a tricky transition from spoon-fed fulltime employment to being my own boss (which includes manager, producer and assistant). There have been times where I have had to turn down work, because of scheduling conflicts which has its positives and negatives. But mostly, this freelancing thing has been really great for me, as I have a new energy and I am doing different things to what I have done in the past. Each day I learn something new, which is always a Good Thing.
One of the more interesting and fun jobs I've recently done is a music video for Silverchair (yes, they have reformed). This was a tricky job as I had to take over from a previous editor, but the results are pretty cool. Look out for it soon on a music show near you. I got to work with a fantastic directing partnership who made one of the most controversial Australian films last year "Suburban Mayhem"
More to come. Stay tuned.
