You know video blogs take a lot longer than just typing on here.

I was working on the design of ads to place in a few magazines in a few weeks. I am not placing in a lot of ads since they cost a lot. I am mostly focusing on getting exposure for the album in very unusual methods (ha ha ! I can't tell anyone what they are as of yet)

Saturday I am going to take part in the 48 Hour Film Festival. What is it? It's a festival in which a short film has to be written, shot, edited and scored in just 48 hours. On Friday night film directors get a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to include in the movie. 48 hours later, the movie must be completed. So it's pretty chaotic and challenging but I have seen some really cool films come from it. So I am going to be acting in a film this Saturday. I haven't a clue what I will be doing, what it will be about, what it will be named or anything. I do know the film will be shown on Tuesday April 15th, 9:30pm at Kendall Square Cinema.

I watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age over the weekend. It wasn't as good as Queen Elizabeth I from 1998. It felt like a sequel and all the elements that made the first film made this one seem not as good. There was too much emphasis on the romance of the Queen with Walter Raleigh (played by Clive Owens) . The actors did a great job the director I fault for placing to much romantic emphasis and less on historical facts. Sometimes truth is by far more entertaining than fiction (perhaps this why reality TV shows are so common these days?)

I bought Sweeney Todd today...they were out of the special edition though so I just got the regular widescreen version.

I didn't see the first Elizabeth but went to see the second with Javier. I LOVED the costumes. Especially the dress Mary Queen of Scots wore for her execution. The shade of red was very symbolic I thought.

Oh I forgot to mention the costumes were awesome in it. Plus there were pirates! but ...note the most vital part of having pirates (and to make a lot of money in a movie) :

MONKEY !

no MONKEY ! if you want to make a lot of money in a movie put a monkey in it.... :)

I haven't gotten Sweeney Todd yet, I will get it this weekend. The book that came out (when the movie came out) is really cool it has a lot of good production notes in it.
