Video and Film

Saturday · 18 Jan 03 · 06:48 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

About three days back, I went to ShitOnTheRadio.com, and downloaded a video.  This is the music video for a song called Breath, by Swollen Members featuring Nelly Furtado.  The video was made just recently and is directed by Todd McFarlane (creator of the Spawn comic character).  I liked the song, and I thought Nelly Furtado's vocals in it were terrific!

Last night, we were playing a video tape with some old episodes of Mr. Bean on it (followed by Rowan Atkinson Live), all recorded a couple of years back.  Well, after all that was over, I realised that Varun had recorded Spawn on it too (when it had come on STAR Movies a couple of years ago).  So I watched the whole thing again.  Interesting movie though on watching it again this time I thought the computer generated effects weren't that convincing.  The best part about the movie was of course John Leguizamo's performance as the disgusting Clown from Hell!

The past few days there has been a lot of, say, turmoil, as far as out project is concerned.  A lot of brainstorming is going on and we found that we had drifted away from our original design, trying to do things that wouldn't be expected of the hardware we were dealing with.  Anyway, hope things all work out well.

Today at college I finally got to see the video documentary that was shot at our college a few months back.  The documentary is basically to promote our college to overseas students.  I thought it was actually pretty good, some parts of it were exaggerated - but since it's basically advertising, that is expected.  There were a lot of places where the audio and video were unsynchronised though.  But I'm happy because I can be glimpsed briefly twice in the video!  I do hope I get my hands on a copy of that CD eventually.

Tonight at 9:30 PM on HBO I'll be all ready to watch Mission: Impossible 2, which I am watching basically for John Woo's action scenes.  I saw the movie a couple of years back and I don't remember that many details about the plot or characters.  It was the action scenes that made the impression!

Finally, to conclude this update, there's a new site which is going to be launched soon, idGames.net, which will be dealing with all of id Software's games including, of course, Doom!  There has been some, shall we say, interesting talk about it going on at their forums and at the forums at Doomworld, and I'm waiting for the site to actually go online.
