I really like this – at heart it’s one of those jokes which is so blindingly obvious that it should have been done to death over the years, but I can’t recall ever having seen it before (and I’m decades old, I remember the first time people used to connect their computers to their TVs).
Anyway, here it be – nicely done and very well played, I think you’ll agree…
I’m very excited to be able to announce that Persona goes live tomorrow.
As you may well remember from my recent posts, Persona is the world’s first continuing drama created exclusively for smartphones, giving the viewer a daily 2-3 minute drama series, with new episodes every day of the week.
You can buy the Persona App in the iTunes store (search for ‘Persona App Media UK’) for £1.19, or you can text PERSONA to 87474, which costs £1.50. A year’s worth of episodes for less than a Starbucks coffee.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m one of the writers for the first season (starting tomorrow, and running for a month), so if you’re interested to see what kind of writing I do when I’m not blogging (and it’s part of the reason why my blog entries have been so sporadic recently), I’d really appreciate your support – and of course, I’d be interested to hear what you think of the series (and the work I did on Jane’s storyline).
By way of a taster, here’s the trailer for Persona, which I hope will intrigue you enough to make you want to see more:
Any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact (unless you’re asking about what happens in the storylines; I’m either sworn to secrecy about the stuff I’ve been involved in, or appropriately ignorant about the other storylines). Thanks!
As I mentioned in this post, I’m one of the writers on the smartphone drama Persona, which is coming in January 2011 – and here’s the teaser trailer:
It’s the first time I’ve seen anything I’ve written being performed, and I can’t wait to see Jane’s storyline brought to life – I’m super-pleased to see Amanda Sterkenburg in the role, as she has exactly the kind of look I was hoping for in the character.
And is it childish that I’m amused that the Youtube ‘freeze screen’ shows Jane? Very probably… but it’s true.
My old friend Ian, and his bandmates in Katalina Kicks, have just released a new single called ‘Me’, and it’s available to buy via iTunes, for the very reasonable price of 79p.
Not sure if you want to trust my opinion on it, especially as I tend to write about books and writing as opposed to music? Okay, I understand. Here’s the video:
Longtime blog readers with appallingly long memories will recall that a friend of mine Ian is a singer by trade, and lookylook, his band’s video is available to view online (ignore the fact that the frozen image below appears to show him doing an impression of the Joker, he’s actually a very presentable chap):
That’s rather good, innit? The single’s out on 5 July, and will be available from iTunes and other places like that. If you like it, please buy it. And even if you don’t like it, please buy it just to please me, for my wrath is great and far-reaching and painful for those who displease me.
As the aforementioned longterm readers will also be well aware of.
…has not been true since Winsor McCay and Gertie The Dinosaur, but it’s startling to see just how much greenscreening there is in use, especially in TV shows where you might not expect it.
I mean: Ugly Betty? Seriously, I’d never have expected that.
