Film Academy

One evening a few months ago I helped edit a music video for someone, we managed a first rough cut and everyone was really pleased with the result. We agreed to finish it when he had some free time in his diary, but in the mean time he asked if I would like to help out on a Film Academy for kids, explaining that it was a 3 week module that was part of a much bigger design academy covering everything from interiors to t-shirt design. Without thinking, I said yes because I loved the idea.

A night of soloists...

Cal Folger Day Huck, known to me from Tamara and the Martyrs put on a night known to all as 'Huck's Honeypot Hootenanny'. Well, it was put on by Huck, it was held at the Honeypot ; a pub in Oxford and it was a Hootenanny (I had to look that up and apparently it means 'An informal gathering with folk music and sometimes dancing') There were going to be 3 acts playing; Huck , Myles Manley and Cal Folger Day I had a preview of what was to come, courtesy of a video Huck had attached to the event advertised on bookface. Instantly loved Cal's voice and was looking forward to hearing it for real. This is some of what happened...
