The Trailer for Episode 1 of Roomies (The Episode should be out ASAP!)
I wrote an Essay on here last night and it seems to have dissapeared which really sucks eggs. So i’ll keep it short. and just give you the main points of it.

For some reason Vimeo squashed this into not being Widescreen so it looks shite and awkward but i thought i’d chuck it up here anyway.
=[

We’re ready to shoot on Saturday folks. So if all goes to plan Roomies , Episode 1 should be with you before Wednesday.
Keep Checking Up

Just finished the script for Episode 1 of Roomies. So filming should commence next week some time. Should be fun =]
I’m also sort of halway through the second episode’s script which in all fareness is alot better because theres no character introducing or anything.
I have no idea how long the run time is for each episode but the first script is 7 pages long and 965 words. So it could be anytime to be honest. If i had to guess id say about 6-7 minutes so nothing over the top.
Anyway i’ll keep this brief but do tell your friends to keep checking the site as an increase in fans would be pretty cool. Considering that im on a gentlemans 1 at the moment or 0 if you don’t count my mum.
So basically keep checking for a release Date for the first episode so you know when it will be up. I’m also gonna make a poster/Banner that people can post on myspace and i’m gonna make the Trailer before i release the episode so that theres something up while im editing it etc.
Feel free to contact me if you wish to know more about Roomies, The trailer will give you a small insite onto what’s going on anyways.
Thanks again..

p.s. I made a Poster/Banner today but its pretty awful as you can see below.
The person in the Poster is Tom (Played by Luke Molloy)

Basically the original Editing on this was absolutely terrible so i decided to re-edit and stick it on Vimeo. This edit is still pretty atrocious because back then apparently what i lacked in owning a tripod i made up for in Parkinson’s so the camera work isn’t great, Enjoy anyways.
Also the plot was never clear to anyone. Basically a man texts into one of those annoying Jamster adverts and moments after he texts in they then own his house and reposes it. Thats it really. and thats not even in a nutshell its about 1 minute of footage. Hang around for some random stuff at the end that was on the DV tape.
Thanks x
