Sibelius Excitement!

Hey everyone. Yet again I'm posting in the middle of the day, but I'm working tonight, so I figure I won't have any time when I get back. I didn't mention in my welcome blog, but I'm working at the Leeds Met Library, which is just the easiest thing I've ever done! It's just stacking shelves! Seriously easy going. Not working for long though, only 3 hours, but every little help. I got another job today. I'm a production assistant on a UK independent film!! How awesome is that?! I'm really phyced about it, its my first real job in the film industry. I gotta research into stuff and get props. It's awesome!

I'm loving Sibelius, as you can probably tell by the picture. I can write cool stuff again! I decided to start small and write a little string quartet piece. It's sounding pretty cool which is unusual cos I didn't plan any of it and usually when I don't plan, it sounds terrible.

I'm trying to decide whether to make this feature film I've had an idea about or go onto a smaller scale and write a short film. I had a cool funny idea about two or three guys sitting on a sofa drinking beer and they run out of beer so they have a massive argument about who gets the beer/how to get the beer. I think it could be quite funny if I wrote it right. And it would be cheap! Only need three people a sofa and some beer.

I've been thinking about equipment too. Obviously I have absolutely no money so I can't afford a camera but I can borrow one from uni I think. But I can't borrow a mic and a boom and a sound recorder, which is annoying. I just won't allow myself to record the sound with the mic on the camera. Sound is too important!!

Anyways, as for daily life, I've just got back from the gym. Still working on those hurtin' bombs (God, Rocky Balboa is an inspiring movie). I'm waiting for my iPod Shuffle which I ordered so I've got something to keep me company on the trend-mill. I HATE running! Modern society is such a bugger. Gonna make myself some lovely food soon - two hard boiled eggs, a slice of toast, a slice of ham and a chili. Student food, you gotta love it.
