Movie making and some rockin'

Its been awhile since I've done one of these, but not much has happened as per usual. Boring life = boring story. I have being trying to make things happen, but nothing ever turn out as you want them to. I had planned to attend a 3 Doors Down gig in Bristol, but they had to cancel/postpone the event for some unknown reason, which kinda sucks. I would have liked to have seen them, the chances are, when they reschedule the date, I probably won't be able to go, because of work.

Anyway, recently I've been helping my friend, Liam out making his movie. (more info here) I've been helping firstly by printing out DVDs, cases and burning the movie.
I also did a bit of acting! (yeah I know right) That was a fun day.
So my friend Liam got me started on maybe doing some post production bits.
I remember when I was younger I used to want do make movies.

I used to draw simple pictures on MS Paint, on the old 486, back in the day and adjust them slightly to animate them. They were just simple things like a stick man walking along etc.
Its not much, it was kind movie making isn't it? Or would it be animation?
But now I've started using Adobe After Effects which is a little more sophisticated than paint. It's like Photoshop for video, it is a very good. I have already made a small project which I may or may not put on youtube or something, depends how I feel.
So I've been occupying myself with that.

Other than that I got Rock Band, I've been playing on that mostly, I didn't want to blog about before otherwise it would just end up being a review or something.
But its great fun, I was round by friends' house playing it. It's so much more fun playing with everyone else, feels like you're in a real band. If only that were true.
