PERI URBAN AND THE FOX

I recently started watching videos again on youtube...I was part of the whole youtube thing back in 2005...you know the whole scenario of when each one of us finally got broadband? and then well, it was this big fun new thing...you could finally watch video on the internet...that was a big leap....and all these cool people were appearing on youtube...it was quite something at the time...and still is.

Here Peri Urban has a encounter with a fox...his new camera captures it beautifully in 720p. He's great at commentary on his videos and they are always interesting to watch.

TERRORE NELLO SPAZIO (1965)

Photobucket

This one took me by surprise...I found it by accident one day on youtube. The film seems to be widely known as Planet of the Vampires.

I can only describe what I saw as being Forbidden Planet in feeling (at times)...and also feelings of it being a lot like Alien / The Thing. Alien of course arrived in 1979.

It's a very inspiring movie for me because of what was achieved with what they had...but also the camerawork and editing are first rate. It really is one of those ones where you go "if they could do it then I could too"...my camerawork and editing are my strongest things too.

So give it a whirl here if you want to see if it has something for you...or if quality is a problem for you...you might want to watch this to get a feel / vibe and then hire the movie.

PRICE INCREASES?

Well that Playstation 3 there just went up...straight back to £229.99 again....arg, I kinda wish I'd bought one now...but I don't know, I think that when The Last Guardian arrives...that will be the time where I really have a large incentive to get one...that game is probably going to be incredible....by the time that happens the price will be down again hopefully.

PRICE DROPS?

Things do seem to be changing. I noticed the other day that Harry Potter 7 part 1 arrived on it's release day (on standard definition DVD - Digital Versatile Disc) at a price of 6.99 or 7 pounds...this is definitely the start of a huge shift (or my first awareness of a shift) in prices for SD DVD...I also spotted some Blu-Ray discs for 5 pounds bran new (not new releases (they cost about 14.99) but old films on new discs)

Playstation 3's have also dropped in price...they're down to £199 bran new...I'm waiting for a game called The Last Guardian...but am excited about the price drop.

I currently am still buying second hand VHS films for 20 pence...and I actually really enjoy watching these on my little cathode ray tube...the quality is actually very, very good (when it's working well...which is 95% of the time)
