15 minutes of fame


So this week i found my two most practical senses being strangely aware of myself.

My ears
finally after a year, the student radio had begun. on tuesday we went into the studio and were taught the basics. our show
the in-tro 33 show, had the beginning of the pilot recorded. 15mins in total. it was no done live as i expected and adding a loop in the background as well as fading in and out took some getting used to.
furthermore me jamie and claude had never even spoken on a radio station, so it took us 5 takes to do the opening 30seconds, when you first start talking you sound like your on a telephone at a business call and the 3 of you are talking to this person, stumbling over eachother and leaving large gaps of silence. hearing the takes was a weird sensation, the words made from your mouth are being transcribed onto a computer and soon people will listen. and download and have you on there ipods and laptops. a piece of you will be taken and immortalised forever onto the internet.
hopefully next week we can finish the pilot and i can upload it on here.

my eyes.
in summer i joined a casting company to try get money as i was not gunna work at sainsburys.
my first job was a mcflurry advert full of suits and office workers i was not seen.
the second was 4 seperate days filming for the new e4 hit misfits.
tonight as i watched the 4rd episode in the opening 5 minutes i saw myself and i had the weirdest feeling.
i was on tv, u watch tv for your whole life and now you are on to immortalised yet again.
of course photos and memories are long lasting, but this was seen by millions of people.
u feel proud but then you realise ppl do this for a living its not a big deal and anyone u tell will not care that much as it is basically boasting.
so i shall vent it on here with a picture i took of it ( i didn't realise how big my mouth is)
