First thing: Beer would NEVER be spilt on my Powerbook - Only Strongbow would be allowed near it (Y) (Y) Second- Cheers Raub (You know Lil' Dan dont you?). Was gonna make my own style one anyway, but I've got to remember to be inspired, not to copy :P I'm going to aim for a mix between Top Gear (for its use of filters), Bi-King (for it's use of Pastiche) and a genre film - possibly film-noir or Western, not sure yet... Oh, and I know Glasseye vids rock! I play "fivepointfive" everytime I turn my PC on! Just wish it was longer - my copy is less than a minute long... Any other great vids?

I was wondering what people think are the best or most innovative trials vids ever? The riding doesn't have to be amazing - it's the film-maker's skill and style that I'm interested in... Basically, I'm going to be getting an Apple Powerbook soon so I can do graphic design and editing work, and with my IMMENSE summer holiday (Uni ends late april :P ) I want to make an amazing trials vid... The aim will be to produce a visually-stunning piece, NOT to showcase record-breaking riding. So, for a bit of inspiration, which vids do you most admire for their style? Any links would be great (Y) Cheers, Lunja.

Last semester my design lecturer was encouraging us to make 'zines - mini-magazines to show off your abilities, style, contacts etc. Might be an idea... All you'd have to do is learn some basic typesetting and layout design, print on to A5 or whatever takes your fancy (bike-shaped paper? (Y) ) and away you go! Would definately make your portfolio more interesting... Also look at demonstrating how your abilities transfer into other media - such as radio or television scriptwriting/researching; you could even package a DVD presentation together to give to potential employers with your 'zine... Just update your 'zine every couple of months, send it out to people over again, and before you know it you'll be a millionaire! :P PS. Next year if you need professional standard graphic design or DV/HD editing, I'll be offering my services...

I'm gonna have trouble swapping over my courses... If I stay in Lincoln, I need to be looking for housing now, and so would be signing agreements in June. BUT, if I apply now through UCAS (because the deadline has passed) I won't hear a decision until July! By which time most of the places in halls at Brighton will be gone, leaving me with no decent place to live whatever happens! And I can't even drop it all and take a year out because the top-up fees start in 2006! :P (Y) Has anyone else switched unis before and could help?

I'm studying Media Production at Lincoln at the moment, but it's not turning out to be quite like I thought... I've been looking at the Media Practice and Theory course at Sussex and it looks great! Is anyone studying there at the moment, or better still, doing the course? What's the Uni like? Cheers PS. These Q's are just for starters... :o

What about me Dan? (Y) If you're going on the train, give me a call about 30mins before you want to go. I'm gonna try to be up by 10am, but being a student that might be difficult... :o :o
