this morning i was in a meeting at university. We were pitching ideas for the new film projects and choosing which one's to comission.

although im not working on it, this is one of the ideas that was pitched;

the guy made a rough cut using his phone/camera, since visual material is offten a better script than a script itself on a short film. the final version will be closer to 5 minutes long and shot on gorgeous 16mm, but this is a pretty good film in itself

most people pitch serious films so its nice to see something more lightearted, im kinda surprised they gave the film the go ahead, but it fit the project brief so there you go

I just watched it with Jessica and we both laughed, where did you film it? the landscape was so generic that it could have been any suburb in Britain. I really liked the scene at the service station with him trying to workout how to re-fuel the seat

Let us see the finished thing, I wish you had not seen him scooting along with his feet.........still very funny though

i didnt film it because its not my project

it looks like it was filmed at parham road student village, (i've been round there a couple of times) that would also explain the lack of real cars . Its a modern development, just stacks of flats. the other part looks like sainsburys car park which is just down the road.

the film wont be finnished for a long time since filming isnt scheduled till the end of february, and then theres editing etc. Ill try to get the finnished product but its not my project so im not sure i can get a copy, but theres a seperate website that exhibits student films from canterbury it might end up on there

i like the ending too, i bet that caused some trouble with the owners of the petrol station .

not as bad as my project though, we had to carry a coffin down the street ... and no, people dont seem to like that
