Video Blogging

Nils Croné | 29 January, 2007 | 11:33 pm

Hey, just thought I’d write a little something today (before the upcoming nice news I will be posting in just a few days)… I’m currently looking at making a few video blogs during the production of Showdown, with small focuses and teasers of the script, posters, images and much more… Keep your eyes peeled here in the next couple of days for more info.

Including the first official video blog for Showdown. There. I said it.

(Plus, TopGear started yesterday on BBC2 again! Yay! Richard Hammond is back :D)

And another thing, I will finish the New York diaries someday, I just keep forgetting it :P

Showdown scriptwriting process

Nils Croné | | 2:22 pm

Hey everyone! Since I’m having a day off from school today I thought it would be a great idea to try and start writing on Showdown. So that was exactly what I did. I’ve now written two full scenes, and it’s looking pretty good so far. I will be handing those two scenes over to some friends shortly, to get their input on it.

I might also start working on the Showdown website later today, which could be fun, if it turns out ok. I’m still trying to figure out how to move my complete database to my new webhost, which is something I must do in the next two weeks, to keep the website. If anyone knows anything about importing SQL protocols into a MySQL server, please e-mail or write something in the comments.

I’ve seen a few good movies lately, starting with the latest I finished seeing this very morning, which was “12 Monkeys”. It was really good, and some amazing acting in it, as well as a really interesting story, which can be hard to come by in sci-fi movies. I also watched “Slither” last Sunday with Alexander. We both thought it was pretty fun and overall a good movie, even if some parts of it was really gross. Not really a “dinner-in-front-of-the-tv-movie”.

Well, take care everyone, I’ll keep you updated on the process with the Showdown website!

Two weeks of 2007

Nils Croné | 16 January, 2007 | 8:58 pm

Well, now a bit over two weeks has passed since the new year began, so I thought it could be nice to write something about the year so far. Well, it has been quite cool, actually. School was a bit hectic last week, lot’s of stuff to do and a swedish test (hopefully I did ok). I have also watched a bunch of movies, with the latest one being the Russian horror-sci-fi flick “Night Watch”. If you have seen it, please write what you thought in the comments. Also watched “Fight Club” (by David Fincher), which is now in my top 3 list of best movies ever made, the other two being Snatch and Reservoir Dogs.

I haven’t really started writing anything of the Showdown script, but at least I have a few good news! First of all, the first small summary is up on it’s page. It’s not finished at all, and might be completely altered before we go into production, but it’s looking pretty good right now. The bigger news although is that I have registered the domain showdown.rhp.se. But don’t worry, the website won’t be up for quite some time, and when it goes online, I’ll be the first to let you know.

Speaking of websites, does anyone know how I can easily integrate pictures in my blog posts? Would be cool to have to maybe show off a movie poster from a movie I saw, or just some random pictures.

Well, that’s pretty much everything for now, take care! :D
