Film and T.V

Filming has gone well, myself, Cormack, Hugo's friend Andrew and Tom Wheeler have all been interviewed during the school week and in the weekend in Andrew's case and we have begun the editing process. Interviewing each of them separately, was really essential as it gave them the opportunity to really express their own styles with the neccessary focus. I feel the interviews went fairly well as all those interviewed had a strong interest in guitar and a lot to say about it as a result.

Film quality seems okay, a few interesting moments with random light, rain-soaked interviewee's and loud, inconsiderate passer-byers but this has mostly resulted in a humorous outcome rather than doing any real damage to the quality of the footage. I think most people with a passion of any kind will react well to the documentary as it has focused more on the passion and motivation of the players rather than technical aspects of the instrument.

All that really remains to be done in terms of filming is the intro and finish, which Hugo and I will do asap. After that it will mostly be editing work to make the the film presentable and polished. I still need to finish off my concept however which should be my first priority.

Thanks.

Humanism

How ironic that the most self righteous, seemly moralistic belief system on the planet is the most decadent, self-destructive set of ideals ever concieved. A belief system that allows just anyone to attain the illusion of moral superiority in enforcing the idea of equality amongst all human beings (Because obviously rationality takes a backseat to being politically correct) whilst simultaneously advocate total disgust and hatred for anyone who dares to think otherwise, therefore defeating the whole idea of all humans being equal regardless of their beliefs...Just ask a Humanist if they think a racist's viewpoint is equal to that of an anti-racist...If this doesn't force them to see another side of the argument or if they explode emotively then chances are, your dealing with a lost cause.

Whilst our planet's future is clearly that of ecocide from overpopulation, Humanists still seem content to push the idea that all Humans have a apparent "Universal" right to life, to all buy as much as they please and pollute as much as they please, regardless of their contribution to society. Whilst this inevitably brings a somewhat "Holier Than Thou" attitude into play, it seems that this same group of people are quite content to ignore such negative implications that this belief system inevitably has on all forms of life environmentally, including that of our own species, just as long as they can continue to claim the moral high ground. The fact that every other life form will have to suffer the consequences of all human beings having a "Universal" right to "Equality" and other smokescreen terms, is of no relevance to this self-righteous group of moral crusaders.
I'll work on this over time but here are a couple of good links to checkout if at all interested:
