“Campsite” and FXhome on Saturday!1

Long time no see, been away on the countryside for a week where I basically relaxed but also did some pretty cool filmmaking- and gamingrelated stuff – will tell you all about it right here!

First off, my next project’s script is completely done. The working title for it at the moment is “Campsite”, and it’s my horror film project of the year which I will start filming late July. Sat around and finally finished the script starting last Saturday and finishing this Tuesday. It became pretty cool, and it’s definitely a step up from any stories I’ve been involed with before – to put it another way, it’s much more complex. The final screenplay clocked in at roughly 40 pages, by far the longest screenplay I’ve written so far. Added the film to the movies section of the website, with some story info. Sat around all day today to finish a folder containing the script and some other stuff which I will hand out to potential cast and crew members either by hand today or by mail – note that this is for the main production crew only, and people involved with the post-production process will recieve notification later! For a small sneak peak of how this introduction folder looks, check out this picture!

Our family kind of “fake-celebrated” my birthday last Sunday (I’m in UK the 29th for some work, more on that further down though) so got some really cool DVDs. Mostly B-flicks and horror films, which is always fun to watch I did get “30 Days of Night” on Blu-Ray (a vampire film starring Josh Hartnett of Lucky Number S7evin” fame), and I kinda liked it for what it was. It had a few scary parts and loads of gore. Can’t really ask for more from a film which has the line “That cold you’re feeling ain’t the weather. That’s death approaching.” Going to go see “The Mist” later today, as it just premiered – unsurprisingly 8 months after it’s U.S. release – here in Sweden. Was picking between this and “The Incredible Hulk” but decided to go with this one, mostly because I want to go see “Hulk” with a couple of friends

Saturday’s a pretty awesome day. Will be travelling to the UK to go meet the FXhome team in Norwich, as well as Ashley Wing and a bunch of other people. Will stay there for a week and work as camera assistant on the FXhome 2008 Film Project. Should be a lot of fun – stay tuned to the FXhome.com news page for the latest info.

Got and bought myself the PS3 game “Metal Gear Solid 4″ last Monday. I havn’t really got around to play it a lot yet, but from what I’ve seen so far it’s very, very impressive. Many people complain about the lengthy cutscenes featured in the game, but they haven’t bothered me in any way so far, to be honest.

Spent last week’s Tuesday with Johannes and Mahdi, recording our very first podcast (kind of like a radio show, but on the internet). Won’t post it here for a couple of reasons: it’s very strange and it’s in Swedish. We basically talk concerning loads of news in gadgets, films and gaming.

These first weeks of summer vacation has almost been as mentally straining as the last weeks in school were (well, almost) for a variety of reasons, particularly my need to get the script for “Campsite” done. Well, everything is now on track! Expect more frequent updates from now on
