The Poker Beard

Is all that sprang to mind when I realised how long ago it was since my last post on here, a month seems to have flown by, I never wanted to post boring stuff or feel that I had to post something, there are just periods in life where nothing major seems to happen.

Things have been quiet poker wise as I have not been playing except for some live excursions, particularly Helen and I representing our good friends public house in the APAT pub poker championship event in Blackpool with Sean and Cath putting in some strong performances but sadly we did not win.

Another thing that has taken my time is getting into digital composite effects, I did some practical/physical makeup & prothetics back in the day but this sudden urge to get into the digital side of things suddenly struck me so I have been working with AE & Lightworks -

It can be a slow process working on something frame by frame for a slight touch to the shot which will last less than a second purely to add a sense of realism & depth but so far I am loving it, besides, I will only improve by working on such things.

Just be assured, this blog is not dead……
