Video slaming it

So I have been strangely silent for a little while and I suppose you thought I have been abducted by aliens or those South Korean preachers came back to drag me off to bible school as a 'Jewish' specimen, alas not. Instead I spent the entire weekend making films. This weekend I partook in a 48-hour film-making marathon. We only had that amount of time to produce a 2-minute short centred around a theme, which used materials sourced on the net under a creative commons licence (basically it is this shitload of material that you can use for free, especially a lot of file footage without any bureaucratic holdups) . You can check out me creating on the trailer for the film at the Video Slam blog , I think I am about 1-minute into it (I was very like, excited!). The actual film should be posted there too very soon. It is rather abstract so not sure how entertaining it may be but it wasn't really about the finished product for us it was more about the insane process. Some people stayed up all night, though I had to hit the hay at 6am to prevent being taken away by men in white coats. All-in-all a completely awesome experience, to be surrounded by so much creativity was like being on a high for the two days. Unfortunately am now experiencing the after-effects - much like a hangover. I am however rather inspired and plan to spend my days spurting forth genius creation for all to witness. Will see how that pans out!
