Lights, Camera, Action

So just like the coming and going of the seasons, another epic era of employment comes to a cease, making way for an even epicer one. I'm no longer working at Fast Fours & Rotaries, left on great terms to chase bigger dreams of working in film.
It's quite daunting leaving a workplace when you're on such a high. There's many fears and doubts that try to hold you back, after all it's natural to fear anti-climaxes. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, just remember that you're springing from strength to strength. If where you are going is where you're meant to be going, then that's a level up.
I've been working casually at Fox Studios on a Few Best Men in the art department since, as a casual member of the swing gang. It's everything that you'd imagine it to be and then some! Challenging, fun, energetic. However for me it raised a lot of interest in Brutal Prophecy, our graphic novel.
A lot of people at Fox know about our novel now thanks to the world-moving efforts of my partner-in-crime, and thus I'm now on a big vendetta to get my part of this novel done. I've been quite slack and have some work cut out for me. So how's that for a life of a Freeman?
My days are filled with photography, errand running, 3D modelling and the occasional freelance bit of work here and there. It's handy to have your finances under control if you ever find yourself in such a place.
So where to from here? It's time I got my hair cut, had a shave, went for a jog and got my actors portraiture taken so I can finally apply at some talent agents for some extras work. I've been speaking to a few of the photographers at work to see if they can help me out, I might have to talk to a pro.
If you haven't already seen my flickr account, I suggest you do, I'm really enjoying photography and find it my release in my downtime.

*Flashing news ad*
TV News reporter: Empire city conglomerate head Phillips Huynh has today confirmed rumours that he has purchased Nissan Motors and is looking into pumping zillions of dollars into the company in a bid to create the worlds greatest "hectic" classed vehicles. The exuberant leader, who launched into now humbled and understated fruitfulness with the now near-monopolised industry of Hollywood film publishing and production has announced that his vision for Nissan will be beneficial to all the people of the world, promising to eliminate unemployment in every major city, and by implementing an unfounded way of mass global productivity increasing efficiency of the standard workplace by up to 7500%. It was also announced that 75% of profits will go directly to charity to finally rid the world of hunger which thanks to the leaders ambitious mega-programs has seen poverty almost eliminated. When asked what will happen after poverty is eliminated, Phillips replied "We'll continue to do the same thing we've always done for the last decade and a half... Save lives, rescue the needy, and have fun while doing it"... Nissan employees are tonight celebrating the move, employees are; as you can imagine, thrilled to be receiving the news... The claims have received 100% backup from the United Global Leadership as spokeperson and Human Alliance Ambassador Mobalaju Adenubi has claimed that Phillips has far proven his realised idealistic values to the state of humanity... Nissansilvia.com, the worlds largest forum is anticipating on redesigning its entire corporal approach to welcome the global decision.

Comics, films, and AWD drift

Hello and good morning! What a thoroughly enjoyable weekend! Had such an epic meeting on Saturday with Dane in producing the graphic novel! So we moved into storyboarding, oh man we got some killer slide for the novel at the moment... Too bad it was cut short coz he had to go do stuff... But we met later on in the day to catch Watchmen... FAROUT!!! That movie kicked so much arse that even Colonel Guile would be struggling to keep up! I knew that Critics either highly rated that movie or highly floored it... I was kinda worried going in to see it as I hadn't been such a follower of the original graphic novel, but I payed due diligence in reading up on it and doing research on it a while ago before the movie was released... WELL payed off! That was by far one of the most full, layered and thoughtful movies I've seen in a long long time! Superb! For those of you who plan to watch it, I recommend you do some background reading on the watchmen story and characters, all can be found on wikipedia.

Sunday, I spooled out to Oran Park raceway in another production assist role at superlap... A drool-worthy contest of Australia's fastest time attack cars (meaning that they're Jap!!!). Heaps of photo's can be caught HERE! Oh man I got to sit shotgun in an R34 GTR!!! That light blue one GTR088... It belonged to Dom and it was QUICK as a sting!! That thing had no problem lighting up all 4 wheels (GTR's are AWD)... He was telling me there's 4 levels of hecticness they tune the car to, and that on that day it was set to level 2... Enough to break loose but still be in control... Oh man it was EPIC!!! I got to rub shoulders with owner, mechanics, drivers and workshoppers who build australia's fastest street and time attack cars. I even chased and R35 GTR and caught up to it on foot! Hahaha it was driving away with one of Andrews camera's... 400kw in these legs man! So epic day, thoroughly enjoyed, am looking forward to getting trained so I can be more involved with camera setting up and running (which also means getting payed).

I got to ride shotgun in this thing!

And I caught up to this thing on foot!
This thing was WEAPON

Tilton Interiors Evolution was off the hook!
