Hello Blog!
It has come to my attention that I have a lot more work behind me now than I have ever actually mentioned. So I am going to use this post as a chance to share my list of credits before I cut my first showreel at the end of summer.

Busy Is The Running Theme. (AKA, List Central).
Hello!
It's March, hooray.
I'm terrible at updating blogs, but it's because i've been really busy I promise!
Because I am far too busy to reflect, here is a list of my business:
1. Shot a new sketch for spacecatTV to be released soon.
2. Gave my first presentation at university on the subject of Neo-Noir Cinema.
3. Worked on several paid shoots for the students union including advice vlogs and timelapses.
4. Finished the edit and release of Incindia's debut music video.
5. Released the first video of my new project lifelens and continued filming for the second and third.
6. Attending various networking events and planning for my post university career.
7. Began working at FACT (Foundation for art and creative technology) as an intern, editing viral videos and interviewing Ken Loach.
8. Began working with EDGEclusive entertainment as an editor, working on the new documentary 'Fighting Demons'.
9. Working on a new trans-media project with Jamie.
10. Attempting to run a social life, work in retail, get in shape (lost half a stone in feb) and REVISION.
So there are 10 fun things i'm doing at the moment.
This month alongside these ongoing things I also have to do these things soon:
1. Photograph the SU awards night.
2. Film an interview with the chancellor of the university.
3. Shoot a short film with Harry, Jamie and Marc.
4. Apply for my summer placement in London.
5. Make sure I manage to locate and film the SU's flashmob.
6. Create an overhaul of the LJMU's get involved video content.
7. Actually get all of this down in a decent portfolio that doesn't consist of photos of me in an elephant onsie.
Right, Imma go sleep.
I will be back soon.
I hope.
Bye.
Joe C.
Edit 13/03/13: After sending my friends into a mental panic of meeting Brian May the chancellor of LJMU we realised the email said 'vice-chancellor'. We are all disappointed.

Resolutions.
Hey guys.
So 2013 is here. Hooray, woo etc.
I decided to test out my new microphone by recording a vlog which you can view below.
For 2013 I considered starting on a big project similar to Mark Nugent's Photograph a Day which he ran during 2012. However, I want 2013 to be a year in which I cover a broad range of film styles and techniques. I don't want to give myself strict rules as to the form and content I spend my time producing. So instead of one big project, I want to make 2013 the year of little projects.
Whilst I don't have a strict agenda, a few goals of mine include:
- To build an arsenal of post production and visual effects skills.
- To produce more vlogs and shorts for my portfolio outside of university.
- To revitalise the SpacecatTV sketch series with all our new gear and talent.
- To lay the foundations for a potential future as a freelancer.
- To produce at least one film capable of a local festival run.
2012 was a huge year for me in terms of understanding my own capabilities as a creative, I created a large number of short films with my internal groups and also helped generate content for outside groups such as Video Ink and Liverpool Students Union.
I'm incredibly proud of all my work in 2012 and I am looking forward to a creative 2013.
Thanks guys.
