We had our first shoot without lecturer assistance for an assignment yesterday. It was going to be an advert of the Nokia 5610 Xpress Music.

Things didnt go as smoothly as planned, a bunch of us including the director were abit late, and we didnt get any lights mostly because we were going to shoot outdoors and we didnt have long enough extension cables.

With a tight shooting schedule of 2 hours including time to set up and go over the plan, it kinda felt like it was going to be a disaster. And it was bloody hot when we started out to make matters less than pleasent.

But hey, things didnt go too bad, we went abit over our shooting time but at least we got things done and we had alot of fun.

Now all thats left is the lil bits like making a proper storyboard, a proposal, and the editing which I’ll be doing.

I’ll post the video once i’m done

Recently a bloody Dutchman decided to release an anti-Islam movie. While I personally wish to see him get into a horrible accident that will not kill him but leave him horribly impaired and make his life a living hell of pain and misery, I don’t hate all the bloody Dutchmen.

So he’s Dutch and he has a thing against Muslims. Muslims whine and bitch about how we’re being stereotyped as terrorist and that our religion is a religion of violence. By condemning all the Dutch aren’t we doing the same? Condemn individuals you fools, not the whole fucking country. What the hell is wrong with you people?

So Indonesia and Iran has religious zealots that are likely to be extremist terrorists. Are Indonesia and Iran terrorist countries? Yeah so the fucking American government says that Iran is a terrorist country. And when they do that you Muslims get all pissy about it. Well screw the Bush administration, my American friends who aren’t crazy rednecks would be insulted if I said all Americans are racist prejudiced bastards.

Muslims preach peace and they say we should not condemn and judge all Muslims or Islam because of the acts of a few crazy idiots who justify their acts of violence through their interpretation of Islam. So why are we judging the entire Dutch country?

And you know what the funny thing is, the Dutch government is opposed to Wilders’s movie.

“Prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende:

‘On behalf of the Dutch government, I would like to respond to the online film by Mr Wilders.

The film shows images of violent acts and holds Islam and the Koran responsible for them. The government condemns such acts and those who commit them.

The film equates Islam with violence. We reject this interpretation. The vast majority of Muslims reject extremism and violence. In fact, the victims are often also Muslims.

We therefore regret that Mr Wilders has released this film. We believe it serves no purpose other than to cause offence. But feeling offended must never be used as an excuse for aggression and threats. The government is heartened by the initial restrained reactions of Dutch Muslim organisations.”

By boycotting the entire Dutch nation we are sending the wrong message and it might make the Dutch even more prejudiced. The proper course of action would be to support the Dutch government in it’s rejection of Wilders’s film. Hell we should support the Dutch government and then push them to punish the bastard. That would be civilised.
