Playing a bunch more gigs

I have been playing a lot of shows recently; I didn't bother to mention many of them here on the ol' SFP blog as I've never seen any SFP fans show up to any of my gigs, :P. Just for the record, here's a list of where I'll be playing at and who I'll be playing with for the next month or so. I'll be playing my new axe (pictured) that I'd been waiting ages for - I ordered it in November and they sent the wrong one in Feb - finally I got it yesterday. Finally. FINALLY....

Films Button

Recently the Divx Stage 6 site shut down, and unfortunately I had linked all my film streams to that site. Please bear with me while I readjust my film's webpages. I might have to resort to YouTube, bah. In any case, the download buttons should all still work. When I'll get around to this, I have no idea.

Directorblog #1

So now it's been about three months that I've been at the helm of the as-yet-to-be-announced because I-am-waiting-for-the-official-press-release film. Believe you me, I really want to mention it, but that will have to wait lest I get in trouble. In any case, I thought it might be nice to start some blog entries about the experience. Hopefully, along the way, you and I will both gain some insight. These first few entries will have to be fairly cryptic, for above stated reason.

Here's a picture of me now, pretty close to the start of pre-production, fresh-faced, enthusiastic. Let's watch as I become more haggard, cynical, and beaten down over the next 2 years of production! OK, just kidding.....well, kind of.

One of the things that's bothering me a little bit right now is that fact that the film I am working on has a fan following (of the source material). No, the fans aren't what's bothering me - in fact, that part's pretty cool. What's bothering me is, I know that the minute they announce me as director, all these fans will run over to my IMDB page, look me up, and see that pretty much the biggest directing credit I have is 'The Tigger Movie' - and then they will freak out, because how dare I direct their beloved (INSERT FILM TITLE HERE LATER) when "all I have done" is this rated G film for little kids. Oh yes, they will freak out. And you know what, I can't say that I will blame them.

So with that in mind, I started these 'journal entries' to not only document the process of directing an animated feature for those interested, but also to attempt to convince worried fans that I'm actually a pretty big geek and fan of the genre - and that I have no intention of softening down the film when the source material is so kick-ass.

And so ends this first entry. Kind of uneventful, really. But hey! More to come, and, in the future when I am allowed to post them, perhaps some official images and artwork. Sorry for the cryptic-ness - soon all will become clear.
