Training Footage finished, Little jobs done

With the wife on holiday I have a few more minutes in the day to do stuff I have been meaning to do but haven't, I've finally cleaned out the house and my new car and put some seat covers in and it looks aLOT nicer now, check it out :)




Sporty huh? :) Been watching My Kitchen rules on TV which is simply the best cooking show out there! It's the second season I've watched and its amazing how human social interaction works, theres always backstabbers and jealously, all around nice guys and friends who seem like more than friends. Below is what I had for tea last night, hardly ala carte but I had half an hour, not 5 hours like the pros haha ;)


In order to get ahead in lfe you have be enegaged and involved otherwise you do what you always do and plateau. I Haven't been to the library in a while so I decided to make the drive down to central yesterday and these are the three books I will be reading over the next couple weeks. One for fun, one for inspiration, one for work ethic, I might make a blog about the sales stuff next time if any of you out there are into sales, it's a lot like martial arts for me, all knowledge is useless knowledge if you don't apply it. Yesterday this chinese guy was flashing buying signals all over the place and by the time I realized I had a different customer who was taking ages and he was walking out the door. Boom, no sale for you.


Another thing with goals and the law of attraction is if it isn't constantly in your mind the opportunities to fulfill it will be a lot harder to come by, this is budget but this is my vision board I have in my living room, as you can see it has my dream house, my dream car, pics relating to my goals as well as my goal list for this year.


Enjoying Football at the moment, will be playing 3 times a week, attempting or working on most of the goals on the list. Be interesting if I get them all by the end of the year, especially number One!!!

Also, having nothing to edit I finally put together the test angles I shot with Sana in December at the JKD gym, the finished video is below and cut to Yelawolf's Firestarter track off his new mixtape which is awesome, it makes a big difference to me having good music to listen to, bought Ellies album, frank ocean, didos album and the killers new album all recently and enjoying the trip to and from work haha Anyways, enjoy the video below,



Last of all, finished the outline of the Ivy Investigation series and seriously considering shooting that before Chase, that way I can do a bit of acting and have something to sell or on-sell after Chase comes out. Plus I think its good though different, I'll shoot the pilot over the coming weeks and see if people like it :)

Till then, enjoy April and may every day be full and prosperous! Always look for opportunities ;)

Ambush - New test film, more action!

Hi there, 21st of March, almost Easter, Almost lived in this house a whole year now, plus thats over a year without drinking coca cola or pepsi cola, now I can drink it again, I just dont feel like it haha, man time flies when you are trying to make things happen.....

 Bunny King demands sacrifice! kawaii lol

Got a cheap soundsystem for my car, now I can finally have a little boom in my speakers :)

Still, keeping busy and sustaining my self progress, on the Last set of my days off -sprained ankle or not- I needed to keep shooting so I recruited a couple of friends and made a day of shooting a short film. We made all our busy windows fit which meant we only 2 hours to come up with the choreography (Lee likes to offer ideas so I basically kept my big moves in and put the others down for another day I will shoot myself) and his style of fighting contrast with Steves great kicking which made a pretty awesome mix after we figured something out.

AMBUSH is the result. Starring Lee Ah Yen and Steve Heke as 2 badasses on different sides of the law, so basically, an excuse to shoot a fight scene on a beautiful day at one of my favorite locations and edit the shit out of it. Below are 4 screenshots I took during Editing. Slowly getting the hang oof Adobe Premiere but only the basics plus time stretching/colors/tracks etc, I need to learn all the other cool stuff it surely offers with technical words I will never remember ;)

 



Here is the finished edited video for your viewing pleasure on youtube :)





Turned out pretty good for on the fly shooting. Looking forward to finishing the carnage script today so I can start location scouting for that and casting it up, heaps of action in this one I promise!!!

I'm going to sleep now, Got up early to take the wife to the airport as she went overseas this morning, So jealous, I want a holiday too haha, will have to wait til my sydney trip in June I think. Can't wait til Im rich and can travel anywhere, that would be awesome, anyway thats my bit for this week, leave you with a couple of feel good pics, one is why I wanted to be an actor, Johnny is living it!!! and the other is about keeping positive, It can make all things that seem impossible possible :)
 

 

I'm gonna be 27 this year so I want a feature film by the end of the year, no more 3 minute test films, so lets see if we can make it happen :)
