I was writing an article today about whether someone can actually become famous by morning.
The guy I came up with was Paul Potts.
He surprised everyone with his operatic singing skills and won Britain's Got Talent. In the process becoming a celebrity from one performance.
It got me thinking about a couple of things (maybe things a bit foreign to this blog).
First it got me thinking about classical music.
I have previously been reading books on meditation and spirituality. When we think, hear, act out truly beautiful things it is coming from our pure essence, our core... the stillness within that is our being.
The second was about making your own destiny in life.
Paul Potts didn't just "get lucky". He spent 12,000 pounds on singing lessons, been in amatuer opera shows and even went to Italy to study.
He set his own path and realised his dream. He didn't just dream, he worked his dream until it was fulfilled.

Mini Dirt Bikes and a MAXI Belly!!!
Created another page on FamousByMorning. The link is at the bottom.
It's all about mini dirt bikes, but after the last few days that would be the only thing 'mini' about me!
Feels like I've been eating for about 4 days straight and I have another 4 to go...
I dare not weigh myself but by the 'feel' of my belly i'm guessin i've put on about 4 kilograms.
What does that mean?
My dirt bike pants are going to be a bit 'snug' next time my brother and I go for a ride.
Hmmmm... think I might go for a run tomorrow!

Wrapping Presents & Taking Out the Garbage
Well it's Christmas eve so that means preparation for a visit from Santa tonight.
The children have gone to bed (reluctantly), but not after trying to go to sleep on the sofa, leaving cookies and milk out for Santa and even spreading 'reindeer food' on the front lawn!
What did I do?
I took out the garbage and oh... just remembered i'm still to hang the washing (also an excuse to stand and watch the sci-fi channel on cable :P).
And... I created another page on FamousByMorning. The link is below:

Bluescreen, Greenscreen We all Scream for...
Well i started the title but lost my train of thought part way through.
I plan to do some chromakey video over the Christmas break you see.
I want to video some people (well myself multiple times) and then compile the images in amongst a crowd at an NFL game.
SO far that's the idea in my head. I use Edius 4 as my editing system (Adobe Premiere prior to that) and I haven't had much experience doing bluescreen on that program.
I have the blue material and a good rigging system to hang it all up on. As long as it is well lit I know the filming side will be ok.
Just a matter of getting the post production work up to scratch.
I'll post a link once I have the video completed.

What Did I Like Filming The Most? - Dirtbikes!!
I have had my camcorder away in storage for a while now.
Need to get it out and video and create something... what used to motivate me the most? What was the most fun to film, edit then see the final product?
Dirtbikes, motocross, supercross... High adrenaline, high energy...
speed...
danger...
thrills...
Not quite as much fun as riding dirtbikes, but capturing them on film was pretty good.
Here's a good video dedicated to freestyle dirtbikes:
