Deja Vu
Just came back from a screening of 'Deja Vu' and it was an interesting movie. It is a sci-fi movie hidden in the form of a thriller. The movie did surprise me on how well it was made - it's only major flaw is it's story ending which gives the whole movie an unsatisfactory feel because of inherent questions raised. Time travel is always a hard thing topic to pull off on film and unfortunately this movie doesn't quite pull it off in that department - what is interesting though is how they treat time travel. It definitely sets out to do something different but then falls into the hollywood movie trap. It is a enjoyable watch nonetheless - if you put the time travel logic aside.You would think I would be updating the blog more often - especially since I have finished my teaching job and have more time on my hands. Well - that ain't true - i mean with having loads of time on my hands - it has been an extremely busy week.
The green screen stuff went well on Wednesday and it definitely was a steep learning curve working with the HVX camera and P2 media. Later that evening I had a meeting with Anita, Marjan and Andy over the climax of act 2 of 'Five' which we have to film in January. It was a productive meeting and the story strands are coming together.
I had 2 afternoon shift training sessions at TVNZ on Thursday and Friday - which meant that my days were really long. I managed to squeeze in 4 hours of editing 'Five' in those 2 days and I am learning to pace myself - so I can still give a 100% to my training sessions. It is holiday season and I don't have any sessions worked out for further work at TVNZ next week, so I will have a full week dedicated to editing 'Five' - which should be heaps of fun.
My physio sessions were supposed to be complete yesterday but I have to go back once more in the new year for them to make sure that I am all fixed up. My neck and back are feeling heaps better and I am continuing the exercises I have been suggested to help the process.
'The Fountain' graphic novel that was resent to me by amazon.com - arrived in mail on Thursday and I read it straight away - it is fascinating. The story combined with the art work pull you into another world. I am not going to discuss the plot or the story because it is hard to explain the depth and philosophy in the story by trying to give a synopsis of it. It was a worthwhile purchase and I am now looking forward to the movie - when it gets released.
Nothing much else to update about for now.
Till later,
Amit
