Thanks, James Hoey. I don't post on my channel much. Sometimes I'll post pitch material for my scripts. I basically use my channel to watch short films and videos, but I appreciate you subscribing....

Expand commentJames Hoey Hi James, I was 23 at the time and thought the world had gone mad (again). So, we are killing poets and musicians now, are we? It seemed a pointless end to a wonderful life.
Hey Geoff Hall. Right? All these years later I wonder if we've ever stepped out of the madness long enough to say we've gone mad again.
Channel Four was launched to provide the UK with ‘alternative’ programming. Whoever was behind that vision, seems to have long gone and C4 now provides more of the same. (Personal grouch over).
However, this article is interesting because it shows that this ad-loaded service is rethinking the ad-brea...

Martin Reese ooh, Martin, you’ve even classified and categorised them! That’s some kind of dedication. I couldn’t fit 742 DVDs into my home! Although I must admit to cataloguing them on an Excel Sprea...
Expand commentOh yeah Geoff Hall. My collection is definitely catalogued in Excel. My DVD's are on book shelves/DVD shelves in my basement/man cave and my upstairs office.
Martin Reese I long for the day when the storage problem for my (mini) collection is solved and I can expand it further. Here's to progress in 2024. I have over 300 live-action films and anime, plus o...

I don’t think of Transmedia in terms of purely digital & audio formats Eg website, podcast etc to high tech Metaverse interactive wizardry but consider still life exhibits can also play a smaller part. Yes, they won’t instantly gain millions of views but nevertheless can kindle a niche following. Th...
Expand postThis is really cool and an excellent point, Debbie Croysdale - thank you for sharing!
Still life exhibits sound like they'd be great promo for projects, @Debbie Croysdale. Movies, shows, novels, comics, etc. With so many projects out there, creatives should try unique things to make theirs stand out.
love it, Debbie Croysdale

Expand commentNot a fan of crash bandicoot, I just felt it was taking tomb raider’s 3d style or later sonic and I don’t like that style, I prefer wall e and the lego games for 3d platformer style. But it’s okay we differ. For me uncharted showed one of the first times when a syphon filter meets grim fandango kind of story-driven adventure game could be true to form and really open up the writing possibilities, so I agree that game series is important! I didn’t get into the god of war or assassin’s creed or bioshock, I’m more into the indie stuff. But some great stories in those games! Love mario as well. I actually prefer mickey to alex kidd and sonic on the sega side of things. But sonic and mario both have amazing games! Do you like any racing/sports games? No fear downhill is my favourite but I’ve been thinking about doing something like Speedball or Rocket League but indie. Eventually. Currently working on two video game prototypes a fighting adventure about a yeti like daughter of a witch and a demon god and her friend, a paralysed ex-pro wrestler turned scribe. It’s going to be a bit like my friend pedro meets a 2d grim fandango meets syphon filter or uncharted but low budget. -in visual style. I’m writing the story, non-linear script and pseudocode atm, planning to get some character concept art (from some favourite emergin artists on fb) early 2025 or sooner ideally. My other game is a sim about hustling in high school.
