my journey to ithaca; a james lewis blog.
nerd, vegetarian, tv production, vinyl, drummer, beard owner.
Two snaps of my crew. 
Been filming the science fiction ball over the week-end. Absolutely lovely people. Very fun Friday night spent at the Pimm’s fountain whilst chatting to Torchwood actors and Lou Diamond Phillips - a bit surreal, getting directing and shoot advice from someone who has a huge list of credits and acting in Stargate, 24 etc. Chatting and joking with him, champagne in hand. You’ve got to love it when things turn up trumps.
Although we have a lot of people who want to see this documentary, including some high list people. So I hope we can make it a good one.
Cheers BATV, could of given us a camera that can white balance properly. I will be seriously complaining.

SO. GOOD.

SO. GOOD.

Romance is boring.

I am preparing myself at the moment for my last year at Bournemouth University it seems at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong, I am still producing films and TV shows and it’s going great although sometimes a bit daunting. Been directing a lot and working relatively hard on essays.

But at 20 I feel I am finally getting fit, strong and healthy. Something I should have started when I was 18. I am running three times a week, eating a very good vegetarian diet, just started kickboxing and started weekly surfing lessons. If I had been doing this two years ago I would be a machine right now and probably a hundred times better at all I do in life at the moment. But no need to dwell on the past, I am starting now and it feels great and in two years from now I won’t be feeling like I wasted two years.

I hope to be this strong, healthy, mentally astute guy when I enter my third year at Uni so that I will be producing the highest quality productions and dissertation. I also plan to seriously document a year that will hopefully be huge, coming out of Uni and working on some huge shoots and getting a job in this industry.

Also secured a lovely flat in the centre of town to live in with some amazing people! So I just know I am going to be having such a laugh. I also recently found a Nikon D40 on eBay for very cheap and so I rather naughtily took the plunge. Going to be taking a lot of photos of places and friends.

If my work experience talks go through I am going to be one smug happy chappy!

Directing a documentary shoot over the week end and it’s going to certainly be interesting. Going to put my style all over it and do it perfectly this time.

What I would give to be Australian.

I thought Skins was seriously on it, it was a tiny bit rusty, I find first episodes to always be. But overall I thought it was awesome, a new direction if anything. A lot more filmic, a toned down colour palette and a lot of (extreme) close ups.

Just exactly how I love to film drama, ha!

Also, my faith in TV land was slightly restored by the XX advert. It’s just about ten seconds of their big white X symbol on the screen. No audio, no description, no words, nothing but an X.

Just a big white X on black for ten seconds - I don’t like to blog swear, but it’s fucking amazing and so fresh.
