Inspired by the girlsmakinggunsounds blog, my girlfriend decided to create a tumblr for guysscreaming… It’s in its early stages, but hopefully will get a few more submissions in the coming days.

So, if your a guy, record a video of your best scream on your Phone, Photo Booth, Camera or whatever and submit it at http://guysscreaming.tumblr.com

Been very busy just lately which is why i’ve been so lame on the blog front. However, I found some time to make this for my girlfriend as a valentines present. Unfortunately i’ve now set the standard for this and she’s expecting something better for her birthday.

Anyway, here’s the video.

Not posted for a few weeks. Had a very busy start to January, looks like its going to continue that way through the coming months as well.. Finally got round to playing with some new toys last night though. I purchased a cheapo version of a Canon TC80-N3 which in human, is a timelapse delay timer for Canon DSLR cameras. I just pointed it out of the busy window of my flat during rush hour and hoped for the best…

Didn’t come out too badly for a first attempt. See for yourself:

I’m feeling pretty fat after christmas and the button on my trousers popped off on my first day back at work. I guess the diet starts here.

For christmas I got a Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens, a gingerbread house and a litre of Bombay Sapphire, this is what came out!

Also i’ve been playing with twixtor and having fun in the snow, so I made this.

Soon i’ll get round to editing the footage from the Jurassic Park themed party for new year and lots of Christmas sledging, so keep your peepers peeled!

Since Rapidshare confused everyone with their new ‘Rapids’ system, a lot of people have been using Hotfile to share files instead. I moved over to hotfile but was unable to download anything through Speed Download which is my preferred and probably the best download manager for Mac.

Anyway, whilst fiddling around this morning I finally got it to work, this means I can now download my hotfile’s at the same blistering speed as I used to be able to. This is how:

YOU WILL NEED A HOTFILE PREMIUM ACCOUNT TO DO THIS

I’m very excited about this movie, apparently for Avatar they used 3 cameras for the 3D and that looked pretty crisp. In Tron:Legacy they used up to 10 cameras, I think this is going to push 3D to the next level.

This short documentary focuses on the sound design for Tron. I’ve just booked my tickets to go see this at the IMAX. Pretty excited!

I was pretty excited about Duncan Jones’ last film Moon. I loved the design of the poster and the trailer intrigued me. I felt compelled to go and see it. When I saw it, I loved it. The Soundtrack with the weary reverb soaked piano built tension giving a constant feeling that Sam Bell wasn’t alone, it was beautifully shot and had a perfect solo performance from Sam Rockwell. If you haven’t seen it, go, now, DO IT!

I just watched the trailer for Duncan Jones’ second feature: Source Code. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a soldier in a military experiment where he takes on the body of another man on a train for the last eight minutes of his life in order to try to stop the train from exploding and prevent another future terrorist attack. Whilst that may sound like another standard action/sci-fi movie a la Deja Vu, because it is directed by Jones it’s definitely worth a look. The soundtrack also got me in the mood, I think that we are in for another Clint Mansell masterpiece.

I’m really happy that Apple have finally made the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature available to everyone regardless whether they have a mobileme subscription or not.

Last week one of my friends was mugged (robbed)  by three guys and his iPhone was taken, despite blocking the phone with O2 almost immediately the guys managed to bid on an iPhone4 for £505 and taunted myself and a few other friends with HeyTell messages. If only the update could have come a week sooner, he would have been able to give the phones co-ordinates to the Police which could have led them to his attackers and maybe even got him the phone back.

So if you’ve got an iPhone, update it and setup Find My iPhone, it could come in handy one day.

To install and activate this free service:

Just got sent this by Marie, they created an iPhone app that allows you to create 3D lightpainting on long exposure photographs, check out the video as it’s pretty difficult to explain.

I’ve done a bit of very basic light-painting before, but never anything this cool. Can’t wait to try this out, photo’s/videos to follow.

You can check out the full article here and their vimeo page lives here :)
