Straight Talking Guy

I’m not talking about me. Although if your arse does actually look big in that dress, I will not hesitate to tell you. What are friends for, right? I’m talking about Andy Gibney. Martial artist, therapist, and living legend  guest speaker. Well, he is a bit of legend, I’m just being mean. The promotional-documentary I’ve been tirelessly working on is now well underway post-production. To those who are computer literate, I’m trawling through 55GB of HD footage, equating to just under 5 hours of stuff, now being narrowed down to a mere 20 minutes. I’ve put a lot of love and effort into this project – which will be RedScar’s first documentary – and choosing the right material is hard. Removing a scene and/or shot that you love, is referred to as ‘killing your babies’, in which case I’ll be guilty of performing mass genocide on hundred’s of little ones (shots from the film, not kids, before you frantically dial 999).

23rd May, 2010, NEC Birmingham. This is where the first public screening of Andy Gibney: Straight Talking Guy’ will be shown, at The Martial Arts Show (www.themartialartsshow.com). Every year martial arts practitioners, enthusiasts, masters, and an array of guests and exhibitions conjoin at the NEC for a martial arts extravanganza. Andy has a 40 minute slot with which we have to premiere the film. Suffice to say, I am full of excite. NEC FTW.

The event is on FaceBook – click here.

In other news, I…oh, wait. Actually, I have no other news. I’m still working, still filming, and still managing to stay alive. Ah, I did lose my passport actually, which really pissed me off. New one on it’s way for a wallet-lightening £87.

Read the RedScar blog instead. Much more interesting to be fair. Take care now, bye bye then.

New Teaser Poster

The last week saw the first of the RedScar projects begin production. Promotional-documentary ‘Andy Gibney: More Than A Motivational Speaker’ is a piece about a guy who teaches martial arts, cures phobias, and motivates the corporate, and public, world with his mix of humour, interaction and enthusiasm. Andy taught me martial arts since I was 14, and I now have the privelege of returning some kind of favour by creating a unique promotional tool for him and business, while giving me and Dan a leap with our production company RedScar.

Here is the first teaser poster –

Filming began on the Monday gone, for a 2-3 minute introduction to his site, http://www.andygibney.com – go check it out.
