I could have had someone film Mattias and I at the Filmstock festival in Luton, after two years of trying we finally got together there on Friday and Sunday.
Only grumble is the building had its heating stuck on in a 30C heatwave...the theatre was *very* hot and we all had no option but to drink beer. Though I recall Mattias drinking wine

Just thought I'd relay a funny thing that happened yesterday filming...I'll try to post a montage of pics later...
I decided to film the town I grew up in, seeing as its only 12 miles from where I live now, more picturesqe and happens to be the worlds first garden city.
So there I am, I've arranged to shoot a vintage car circling the UK's first roundabout. Its Sunday morning, nobody about. The vintage car parks, ready for me to set up the camera for shooting...nobody else about....vintage car ventures onto roundabout.....suddenly the whole world and his brother and dog descend. Cars stop to ask what film we're making, a police car turns up and thankfully just looks at us without asking any questions...cars coming from all directions!
Made the shot in the end...but I, despite being a very social animal, really did feel I just wanted everybody to get out of the &*(% way!
Nothing like an old car and a reasonably pro looking camera on a tripod to wake a sleepy town!

I'll finally try to do some photos from the shoot tonight...had computer problems and my dad's been very ill following major surgery. He's actually the guy in the vintage car I shot going round the roundabout...

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hope he gets better real soon.
Thanks, he might be out of hospital today and fingers crossed a situation that has been an emotional rollercoaster ride since mid February should be resolved positively.

I've been away for a few months. This pass the cart concept sounds like fun. I'd like to get in on it. How does it work, what are the objectives, and how may I do it?
I confess I haven't read the whole thread. I'd be mostly interested in B&W.

Short summary:
PTC was originally mojohey's idea.
We signed up for 10 ft of k40 film each. 5 shooters on one k40 film.
6 k40 films where sent out to locations all over the "world".
Lastcoyote made a cool logo, and Flatwood printed them on t-shirts so everybody could have one.
I think the project is comming to a end as the Kodak lab is closing soon and the k40 films need to be developed.
The cart arrived my mom's home few days ago.. I went to pick it up last night. I will shoot the very last part at the coming weekend... sunny day or rainy day... I will shoot it anyway. And the film will ready to go next Monday...
Will post photos and keep you guys update next Monday.
This is great news that Cart 4 has reached Hong Kong... lets look at how this one cart of K40 has traveled.
1. Jusetan – Toronto Canada
2. Tlatosmd – Hamburg Germany.
3. Rollef – Norway
4. Mogzy – Liverpool England
5. Lastcoyote – Hong Kong
Thats some amount of air miles... i might sit and work it out.... maybe this is a world record?
Now we need a complete update again of carts progress... time to log in everyone.
