With the blog I started doing more personal short films and sharing my experiences of shooting them. Most of my commercial work I cannot share on here, that is why it\u2019s my personal work that I share.<\/p>\n
It also slowly became a resource for people to learn about low-budget filmmaking. Totally accidental, just an offshoot of my love of sharing everything. I am really pleased this has happened as it has made the site what it is today. Sure, I could have a simple site which just shows of my work but I am very proud of what the site has become. Although there are times, detailed below, when I sometimes wish it was just a simple showreel site!<\/p>\n
Huge thanks must go to all the people who visit every day and have turned a place to showcase my work so I can get work into pretty much a community. I know many of you from emails, comments and of course twitter.<\/p>\n
Without all the people who read the site, write to me, make comments I would not have anywhere near the motivation to keep it going like it is. Currently it takes a good 4 hours a day + to run my site and answer emails, maybe longer some days. It\u2019s a labour of love which it needs to be as my day job shooting is what earns me money so I do that most days and the site in the evening or the odd day off (there are not that many!). It doesn\u2019t leave much time for anything else! I write the posts myself with the odd guest post.<\/p>\n
I have a few affiliates from companies whose gear\/ services I use day in day out and totally recommend. I was offered a very lucrative deal to have loads of ads on my site from all sorts of people. I turned it down as there were companies in there whose gear I had never used and ones I didn\u2019t like so there was no way I would have them on my site!<\/p>\n
Some have said there is censorship on this site with regards to comments. Censorship is a strong word and it\u2019s use in the context of me deleting some comments is incorrect. This is my site I will continue to delete or not approve unnecessary or rude comments. I am sorry, but if you want a place to rant then start your own blog, please don\u2019t use mine for your rants. I also ask you to please respect other people on here and write comments as if that person is in front of you. Politeness, respect and civility.<\/p>\n
Everything I say here is just my opinion and should never be taken as gospel! if you don\u2019t like my work don\u2019t watch it! I don\u2019t watch TV shows I don\u2019t like after all! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Am I biased? Absolutely, everyone is! But in a good way. I rave about stuff I love, that is all. Have you ever caught me raving about something I didn\u2019t like? Never and I never will! But please take any review as my personal opinion as that is what it is. Others will agree and disagree. That is the nature of the beast.<\/p>\n
Once again, thanks for frequenting my site, reading my blogs and I hope I can help out as many people in the coming years as is possible. Whenever I go somewhere abroad I try to meet up with as many readers as possible so please keep an eye out for those meet ups and I really hope to put as many faces to names as possible!<\/p>\n
I have already said this but I need to re-iterate it\u2026Everything on here is just my personal opinion. Please treat it as such!<\/p>\n
I want this site to be a fun place. I think it is! Let\u2019s keep it like that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
