That Familiar Paradox Plot

October 22, 2011

Here’s a new video! My friend Torrin and I had an afternoon free on Tuesday and decided to make a short video together. Being the nerds that we are, we went with a paradox-inspired plot; hence the name “That Familiar Paradox Plot”. Although the video was released on Tuesday, it’s taken a show while to get it up here because of the things that havebeen happening within my University’s TV Society, of which I am a manager. We’ve been doing lots of filming, organising training and shows, visiting nearby Universities to take part in Freshers.tv (the show is available on demand on that website), and also building our website. So lots of stuff is happening over that end. But fear not, as lots of stuff is happening here too. Now for the video…

You can watch it on the site here.

The Coca-Cola Olympic Torch Tour Bus

October 18, 2011

Coca Cola, as part of the their Future Flames initiative, have been touring the UK with one of London 2012 Olympic Torches. Thanks to the work my University’s Student Union put in, we were nominated to have the bus come to our city. The student TV society that I co-manage, SonarTV, was on the scene. This is the video we made of the event.

From the description:

Thanks to Southampton Solent Student Union’s efforts, the Coca Cola bus selected Southampton as one of it’s destinations for it’s Olympic Torch Tour 2011. The bus brought with it both Coca-Cola and one of the 2012 Olympic Torches (which had previously been held by Dizzy Rascal, and others). Students and the public were given the opportunity to have a photo taken with the Olympic Torch, and also nominate a future flame as part of Coca-Cola’s Future Flame competition. Southampton Solent has currently nominated several of it’s students from the awards thanks to their hard work in the University, be it raising money for charity or their contributions for Sports and Societies. Other nominees stand as well. Special guests on the day included the Mayor of Southampton, several local schools and RadioSonar.

Kangaroo Biscuits – Clayground 2011

October 1, 2011

Three months later and it’s new Clayground time, again! This short is based on a few suggestions my friends gave me for interesting themes; one being ‘Pregnant Kangaroos’, the other being ‘A boy scout leader who loses his boy scouts’. This is also the first short I’ve made in my new house, hence why there is yet another table in the video! Enjoy…

Monthly Rewind: Hands

This month’s rewind is ‘Hands’, a short documentary film I made during my time at college. It tries to explore the importance of our hands, and the various tasks they can carry out for us. Click here to watch it on the site.

Holiday season: Nothing new to report

September 4, 2011

August has been holiday month; a week and a half spent in the Polish city of Krakow followed by a weekend of rock ‘n’ roll at Reading Festival. It’s been a great time, but unfortunately there’s not much to show for it, production-wise. Which isn’t that bad, because we all need a break sometimes.

However, it’s not like I’ve only been galavanting around. I’ve been working on a lot of music stuff recently in preparation for my next album and tour. Yes, you read that right; this time round I’ll be touring. With thanks to technology and a couple of friends, I will now be able to bring my show to the road. Expect to see me playing venues in the UK and Europe soon (I’ll keep you updated through the blog).

On the music front, there is a little bit of an announcement to share. It’s not groundbreaking news, but the time has come for me to drop the ‘Blak Tornado’ moniker for my music. I’ll still be using it for everything else, but in the future I will be releasing my music under a new name, which will be announced nearer the time of the album’s release. This will be for discoverability (trying to explain how someone can find my music at the moment is difficult, due to the unconventional spelling). But I’ll keep you posted on that sooner or later.

In terms of videos, I’ve been working on a few corporate projects over the summer, but as you can imagine it’s not the sort of thing I can put up here. However, I do keep meaning to do new a Clayground short, and there should be some more opportunities to work on fun shorts when my friends return from summer break. So hold tight – there should be some more stuff coming soon. Until then, enjoy what’s left of the summer!
