I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Well, as I mentioned in my last blog, I went away for a bit to Hollywood. It was awesome! Apart from seeing the sights & going round major studios (Sony, Warner Bros. & Universal) we did a one-day film-making course which was amazing, I got to direct in it & loved every second. Everyone on the trip was really nice & it was an extremely enjoyable experience.

It was also quite fun sitting by a pool at 6AM in the middle of February wearing a t-shirt & shorts in 70 degree heat whilst listening to Demons Of Razgriz & jotting down ideas for Nameless in my little notepad.

I don't think Lee had sent me Demons Of Razgriz the last time I blogged, but all I can say is "wow". Lee has written a 10 minute epic, & when I say "epic", I really mean it, if you listen to it whilst following the poem you can hear how it has been separated into 4 parts, just like the poem is into 4 stanzas, & how it fits the feel of the poem, whilst adding something to the mood I've been trying to create whilst writing Nameless... just wow.

Then came the return to the UK & school... yay.

Actually it hasn't been as bad as you'd expect, obviously there have been deadlines for work etc. but nothing too bad. I've been quite busy getting back into the school routine & editing things like the extended project & film studies, but seeing as I've been working on these for the past few months it hasn't been a problem, I've actually been able to tweak them whilst carrying on with writing Nameless & discussing more songs with Lee, who has said that some orchestration will be added to this soundtrack, something which me & him both seem to be looking forward to.

I also got some critical responses for Vengeful Retribution recently from people who weren't involved in the making of the film, here are some of them:

"The plot was well-thought out, and the film seemed as though it were professional. I particularly enjoyed the opening credits with the overdub of a police radio, which effectively created tension, grabbed my attention, and added authenticity to the film." - Coral Brown

"WHAT A TWIST!" - Stefan Cato

"I thought Glenn established a very convincing tone through his use of sound and his script, and I particularly enjoyed the innovative opening scene to the film." - Helena Roots

"Interesting and good use of camera angles. Editing was well put together and I would consider possibly buying a copy." - Dharyl Wilson

"The editing was amazing and it was almost as if it could be put straight onto the big screen!" - Nicole Broster

"Amazingly crafted art" - Daniel Coogan

I am actually amazed by these responses & am very happy that Vengeful Retribution was so well received, and would just like to give a huge thanks to everyone who helped work with me on it. I hope that Nameless can do just as well, if not better.
