Idea development

A member of our group (Ashley) put forward an idea for the plot. The main premises of the idea is to display a mid-life crisis in the form of a raindrop, though that may be putting it simply. The plot is about what little effect a raindrop (metaphor for us humans of this earth) we have in our short time on this planet and the original idea showed a rain drop falling into a puddle to cause nothing but a pathetic little ripple but have it contribute to the billions of ripples caused by the metaphor of billions of people to eventually end up as a giant tide.

As this idea developed it became more focused around the drop itself and its changes during its life and from this we moved on to changing the main centre of the attention to the drop itself. What was just a "transition" (as Ashley called it) became the main opportunity to portray our story and we see the drop lose its limbs and eyes. With the drop having more of the spotlight it simplified the rest of the story by default and the plan to show a tide was changed to a gradual zoom out to show the size of the puddle in contrast to the overpowering size of the earth. Storyboards were exchanged and the idea was nearly ready to be executed

Save the date 18th October! The release of Turnip Head Talks News

I annouced that I would launch a project on the 18th and I can release some more information on it now! TURNIP HEAD TALKS NEWS!

The project is a news show I have been waiting to start for such a long time, I first had some worries about being infront of the camera as past experiences have taught me how boring I can be! but I told my self to man up and try an be less boring(easier said than done believe me).

I have been a big fan of Philip defranco's show on youtube and his SourceFed project but these seem to cover stories more relevant to the american population and Talks News hopefully will cover the UK news stories as well as international stories. If you have watched the SourceFed channel you will initially see many similaritys (Hope they dont sue!) as im using many of there techniques as a platform, after this I will develop the show into a show to the style of Turnip Heads Little Lamb.

This blog will also have a NEWS page updated regularly with, you guessed it news!

Apart from that it will be business as usuall on THLL and we will continue to try and produce Short films and series!

Meeting Alan: Homeless Genius

So as you may be aware we are back and filming like crazy, Were also launching come exciting projects and PHOTO PHIEST may be sneaking back into action... maybe

So we went into town to buy some food for homeless people, we spent about 2 hours looking for homeless people and finally found Alan, Alan is awesome. so we approached him with a bag with some food and offered a chat and a smoke. A fabulous and famous "yeah sure" in a very formal manner took us aback but we understood and we sat down for a chat. Again Alan is awesome and very intelligent. he is currently... oh just watch the video, its far more awesome coming from awesome Alan!


Hope you are all well
