Midweek update

Sigma is in full flight at the moment.  As well as interesting rumblings about new projects things are in production, so all hands are to the pump night and day.

Rounding Up Donkeys is bowling along; now into gruelling night shoots and at the mercy of the seasonal Scottish climate.  However, spirits seemed un-dampened when I visited the set last night.

Tomorrow sees the first and only day of principal photography for the We Are The Physics video.  I'm looking forwards to it although the nerves are starting to jangle somewhat - sweaty palms.


There will be a 'making of' crew and stills photographer on the set so there should be some snippets of the goings on released shortly.  Probably the best place to look out for any news on this front is the labels site.  If you check out the 'making of' for Blood Red Shoes listen carefully to the sound at the start, I love it,

"That's the first time we've had one of them, fucking cool." 

I presume he's talking about the digi slate.  I have to say, I'm a little jealous, we don't have one of them.  Instead we have pilfered the old slate from Hallam Foe so it will be pressed into service again tomorrow.

I'm just going to take this moment to say a huge thanks to all that have helped so far with this job.  I will post a precise list with links to all the relevant places after the shoot but for the mo here''s an incomplete one:
