It has been far too long!
So long that I finished The Dog and the Suitcase and am now close to finishing another 2 films!
Where do I start!?
Let's start with something I did finish...
A week or so ago I filmed a local bands first Music Video, that band is Six Towns.
The Music video can be seen at their webiste or via my own Vimeo here.
Six Towns - The Chase from Adam Georgiou on Vimeo.
I'm really proud of it actually, it's the first Music Video I've ever done properly and it's been a MASSIVE learning curve, definatly something I want to do again. (Any bands reading please get in touch!)
I'm now Directing a new experimental documentary influenced by my previous work 'Keep the Flags Flying'. This one is called 'No Room at the Inn' and is abou the Leopard Inn at Burslem.
Behind (or should I say above) the pub is a Victorian Hotel that closed in the 1950's. Wasn't re-opened until a few years ago and is just a baron waste there. Looks great on camera though! I'm not sure how the film is going to play out yet but I'm just experimenting with shots at the moment.
The trailer can be seen here.

I'm waiting for new prezzies to arrive, and by prezzies I mean new equipment!
I've ordered a brand new lens, a Sigma 28mm 1.8
a Glidetrack 0.75m
and a RODE VideoMc
They should be lovely additions to my slowly growing kit bag.
On a similar note I recently installed MagicLantern onto my Canon 550D the other day and I must say it may be one of the best thing si have ever done!
It's offered me Assistant Focus (great for filming!), Manual White Balance, more control over ISO increments (now I'm not limited to 100, 200, 400 etc) and a host of other features that make shooting on a 550D much more professional!
Definatly worth checking out if your warranty has expired on your camera. Apparently it can screw up your camera but from the reviews I've read it's worth it, and I haven't read of anyone actually experiencing any problems.
On a final few notes for today (of which is my Birthday!...) I've revamped my webste with new Logo, CV, design etc. It's a work in progress as always but I'm really happy I gave it a complete overhaul.
