Only 766 Miles to go...

The most troublesome and exciting thing about blogging is just how reactionary you can be with it. I mean you can take a photo and have it uploaded within minutes. Hopefully I'll be bringing some of that to our blog.

In the main everything will be going here. With the best bits finely honed and delivered here at getyourpeople.

I'll also have a video channel running here. Viddler is just like YouTube except I'll be able to tag moments and people in the video, it's a little like a DVD commentary apart from you won't be able to hear me drone on. Let's hope the broadband connection at the top of Motovun is ready for team Hallam.

More here.

So where are we heading? The Motovun Film Festival. I first came here a few years ago with a film called Guy X when i was working at another production company F&ME. Mike Downey is the festival's Council of Advisors President, a man i used to work for and a throughly likable chap, therefore me and Colin hope we may get a lot of favours in meeting and bringing to you, lots of faces from the festival.

In the meantime I'm also working on walking the land (the web) connecting every single mention of Hallam Foe! Have a look at how far I've got over at del.icio.us. Not very far admittedly, but feel free send me you links at londonfilmgeek {a} gmail.com or tag links getyourpeople on your own del.icio.us accounts and leave me a comment below.

And if it's all just a bit too sunny for you here in Croatia. Edinburgh's Just around the corner, where we might have some more interesting things afoot.

The Beautiful People

We all know the film business attracts the attractive. So here are some instructions on how to photograph these gorgeous faces and really get the most from them. These tips do not come from Giles Nuttgens, our Director of Photography, they are little gems from Jamie Bell...

1. Set camera to 'flash'
2. Get subject to loosen up, relax all the muscles in their face
3. Get the subject to shake their head vigorously from side to side

And that's all there is to it. Check out the results, some truly beautiful people...
