Yes, it's been a while, almost nine months in fact, but I've been busy, well, generally busy, a bit distracted at times, but I've done it now, the seventh episode of Captain Neon is complete and I'm happy with it and have a renewed sense of energy to urge me to hurry up and finish the next episode... though it's probably one of the most ambitious and technically complex ones so far, ah well...
You can watch Episode 7 below:
Additionally, in order to apologise for the delay, I've uploaded some outtakes to the Captain Neon facebook page, I'll be adding more things to it between episodes, so please head on over and give it a like!

Clone Alone
I entered a film into this year's Virgin Media Shorts contest, it looks like this:
Clone Alone - Virgin Media Shorts
Here's a little ramble about the 'Making Of...' Clone Alone.
My mum had encouraged me to enter Virgin Media Shorts a few years ago, a friend of hers had entered a film I think, but I never got around to it. This year I was procrastinating at work and stumbled upon the 2011 competition, thinking; 'I really should enter this.'
Over the next few days I was pondering over an idea for a short, but nothing was coming to me that I felt was worthwhile and could be delivered to fit the 2:20 running time limit. I did keep coming back to the idea of clones in my head, as it's something I seem to be obsessed with...
It wasn't until a couple of days later, on the 3rd of July that I acutally thought I might have had enough of an idea to warrant turning a camera on, so that Sunday morning I wrote a script and asked my resting actor housemate Sean if he would be interested in playing the lead? He, hungover and slumped in the front room, said yes and asked when I was planning on filming it. I said, 'In about ten minutes.'
We filmed between 11am and 4pm as I had to go to an 'all day' gig that afternoon. Sean captured the footage onto a memory stick and I edited the film whenever I could find the time around my 9 to 5 job on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the deadline for the competition.
I literally finished the film and pressed upload at 11am on Thursday with one hour to go before entries closed. So, whilst there's so much about the film I'm unhappy with - though I don't think I'll ever be happy with any of my creative endeavours being a terrible perfectionist and all - I'm really proud of the film we made considering the haste with which the whole thing was cobbled together.
Now, all I need to do is finish the next episode of Captain Neon, which should be on its way, soonish...
