I remember back in the day when the internet seemed new, a work colleague sent me a video (that I foolishly went to the trouble of downloading) of a man in a cellophane nappy taking a huge diarrhetic shit. I can still picture it to this day. I remember being repulsed by the act but rather impressed by the quality of the camerwork, which rotated 360 degrees around him in a smooth tracking motion.

I did a monologue once .. about 12 mins... and I told the actor I wanted to do it one take. He approved of the idea and wanted the kind of shot you described. I told him I could zoom in and out. :)

Flashy!

You betcha!

Still like the piece a lot. Even though the camera op, had it set wrong. Oh to go back in time with my little canon and shoot it again. :(

The forum has been swimming in the gutter today.

Was it "smooth tracking motion" that set your guts off?

Afternoon sunshine.

Trying to pull myself out of my current funk, decided to do some cleaning. It's no fun with dust allergies because now I am struggling to breathe :(

Things to help relieve funk.

Do a dance.

Eat some cheese.

Point at a cat.

Sit down super fast.

I pointed at a cat. It just confused her. I might eat some cheese. It's basically the only food I've git in the house til tomorrow and I haven't eaten yet.

You will notice my solutions to most things have that basic theme.

You could phone some one and pretend to be the bank and see how long it is til they know it's you. Thats a fun game.

I might just have a cheese sammich.

Depends on the gig. Open mic can go on for anywhere between 2-3 hours.

Yeah 2-3 hours is pretty standard including a few breaks.

2-3 hours! f**king hell. Better charge the mobile.

Isee its been a fun day on the BCG
