Hello followers (Gannon).
So today, I spent an afternoon at the Odeon in Leicester Square. I was there for the First Light Awards 2011, as the film I wrote the soundtrack to was nominated for an award. That film was called "Hey Jumper" and was directed by Elishama Udorok. You can see it here.
From the title of this blog, you can tell that it came first in its category, thanks to all the people we pestered in to voting. Thankyou very much everyone. It means a lot, as we got a funky award that we got to pose with with Adam from Spooks (Rupert Penry-Jones) and some other lady. Very fun.
Can I just add that the goody bag was GREAT! I now have a deck of casino royale playing cards, a Wallace and Gromit carrot pen, a free ticket for any film at Vue, a few books, a tshirt, a football, a frisbee among other things. Even if we didn't win, the goody bag would have been a suitable consolation prize.
THEN there was the after show party at Planet Hollywood. There were loads of semi-important people there, and we had some very interesting conversations with them. Unfortunately, I didn't get to talk to the film composer, David Arnold, as our paths did not cross. However, the free food more than made up for this. You know the food you normally pay about 50 quid for in there? FREE. Everything was just free. I was so amazed by the lack of money I spent.
All in all, I had a brilliant day. This probably isn't that interesting for anyone else to read, but at least I had fun.
ALSO, I took a screenshot of this email my music tech teacher Jack sent around as it's so lovely!
Almost made me blush.
The next blog may or may not be more interesting.
