your spelling is very crievate,worry!You’ll have to point that out to me Peter.Trooth, I often shoot of a post wiv out chequiking only to disbover I have mayed some tewwible mistake.Whrer Deja Vu!!No, but you’re right Peter. I think I’d put it down to it being in its pupae form.However that said, there are strong forces in VJism as an adoption of TV standards, who want it to ape TV.Don’t ask!It’s still this fear of failure and ridicule, which is why I applauded the shoot by Paul Bass, publisher of the New Haven Independent.What I would really like the VJ movement to do, just as we read in American Cinematograpy is to test shoots.Ok we can’t test film stock, but we should be able to talk about what we’re trying to do with the camera.The kine-aesthetic look so loved by cinema is in fact Vjism in its gonzo form.Thanks for the support Peter. Your site and many others I visit sow the seeds for ideas that hopefully germinate here and on viewmagazine to be mashed up and some.P.s Please do spread the word in your area about the awards. The more the merrier. Can’t wait to find out the VJ who’s about to blow us all away – FAB
