Re: Utopia
@ nel z bub Thanks for your reply. I am more interested in getting shots of the exterior and then the interior. I would like to gets shots of any unusual or interesting decor items and a good look at the menu and the product. I am less interested in getting random people in the scenes unless they are agreeable to it. It has been my experience that people don't mind being in a shot as long as they aren't expected to talk or do anything, but I respect anyone's desire to not be on cam. Would you be willing to be interviewed on cam? If I can get some cool shots, I would put together a little video with narration which would compliment the video and describe anything interesting. The more access you give me to shoot, the better the end product will be. I would also be interested in taking a "tour" of the hotel while shooting video. The goal would be to produce a video that would be posted on YouTube. Maybe I'll be able to make multiple videos based on the quantity of video I can get which ends up actually being usable for a feature.

Re: Utopia
Hello again folks, it's been a busy old week for us and I've had a couple of extra shifts at the Roor shop on top of my six a week here.
I'm saving up for a stag do I've got to go to back on the island next week so I'm needing all the extra hours.
In the coffeeshop I've finally finished getting up all the new stickers on the windows and I think it looks nice but we're concerned if the typeface is perhaps a bit too small.
Inside, Recal One has made a start on a mural and some new pictures are hanging
We've also been very lucky to hire an old friend to help out a couple of shifts a week. With many years in the CS business, some of you may have met her at the Media or a while ago at Amnesia. We're very happy to have someone with her expertise and experience on the team.
And now as I keep promising, some pictures:
first - the outside before

A couple with the new look


I promised a picture of our house bongs, and I took some but don't seem to have uploaded them to the right place. Forgive my inept computer skills.
In the meantime here's a couple of bongs at the Roor shop

And my dog keeping me company at work

That's all for now, take it easy

Re: Utopia
What breed is the dog? looks a bit American Bulldogish? (I love the bull breeds btw).
Being pedantic and knobbish since 1972

Re: Utopia
@Boner- He's a rescue dog from the pound and so had no papers but as far as we can tell he's what they call a Victorian Bulldog; quite a modern effort to breed out some of the health problems that afflict the old english bulldog breed.
Research suggests a mix of old english bulldog, staffordshire bull terrier, bull mastiff and something else which I can't recall, but probably has 'bull' in the name!
My girlfriend, whose baby he is, will remind me.
He's a real sweetie (albeit a thirty kilo one made of muscle and teeth) and we love him dearly. His name is Mo, short for Monster.
@ cisco- yes

Re: Utopia
@joeuk - depends how you define "a bit".
It'll certainly be there for a while and we'd like to make something of this quality a permanent feature on the menu.
@Trad- cheers, look forward to meeting you.
