I was being lazier that I realised here. This was my original entry for today’s VloMo 09:

That was April ‘08. Dylan’s quite a bit bigger now:

It’s 2.30am and I’m in the office with all three cats. Two of them will eventually find other things to do, but Dylan will hang here until I go to bed. He’ll follow me in and then he’ll be the one waking me up in the morning.

I guess he’s been my partner since day one.

But when I was looking for the above photo I found this old screen cap:

Turns out I’d posted almost exactly the same video to my Blip.TV account last year. I’d forgotten all about Blip, Viddler and the other video sites I played with back then. Good reminder for me to go back and grab those old videos. So I was about to pull the above redundant video when I heard a noise behind me and turning with my iPhone saw this:

So I guess that’s today’s entry for VloMo 09.

Everyone’s a critic. The notes he’s destroying are actually on Blake Snyder’s Save The Cat, which is somehow kinda…

…perfect.

Had lots of questions about the shot of Junior I revealed a few posts back, but I’m sorry. I can’t show you what happens next. Shush now.

Here’s my completely unrelated VloMo09 entry in which a couple of stunt men get thrown around a little bit:

The gun shot you hear is real. In that we had an armourer firing a real weapon on set. The actual gun you see was last used by Sean Connery.

The weird ass noise before the gunshot is just sound captured on the day, but the music is by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis taken from the movie Milano Trema La Polizia Vuole Giustizia (aka The Violent Professionals aka Rue De La Violence).

No more tank. I promise.

This is long enough already:

November is going to be a great month. This time next week I’ll be in San Francisco (which should help me mix up the VloMo content) and when I get back we have Amplified08. This last week has been spent mostly on that but I did have time to fit in a few meetings regarding some very cool stuff for 2009. Some of this as usual is under NDA and may never see the light of the day, but I did get to nip into Channel Four.

The timing was perfect as Charlie Brooker’s Dead Set had just started and so amongst other things we chatted about this new TV show – I watched the entire thing again last night and consider it the most vital thing on British TV in recent history. It picks up the social commentary that Romero used to be so good at and pushes it hard through the back of your skull and out of your eyeball. Highly recommended television.

It also allowed me to have some fun with my second VloMo post:
