It's Gonna Take Time & Cardboard Boxes a Whole Lot of Cardboard Boxes


‘It’s gonna take time, a whole lot of precious time it’s gonna take patience and time... to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it right, child,’ as George Harrison famously sung once.  I love the video for that song, very entertaining and very simple. These days most film makers, whether it be movies, adverts, TV or advertising seem to be less able to take a thing, a talking stuffed deer head for instance, and make something special out of it without using a MAC or god forbid a PC.  I like the fact that George’s video was all real, like a living cartoon.
 
Anyway, with that said I would like sh*t loads of cash to do as I please with on our little productions.  However, that is not going to happen and this leaves me with my two cardboard boxes. These two boxes are going to be soft boxes for lamps to light my delicate face (and other things) when we make our little movies in the near future.  Behind the scenes we are pulling strings and cutting up cardboard to build our little filmic world and no one will see or notice (unless they watch some of the behind the scenes videos we intend doing).

With my knife (craft knife don’t get concerned) in my hand I will soon be carving out the first of these bits of kit to help to produce the first of our videos a segment called Tag Hour, which will be me talking to camera much like most of the more famous YouTubers out there.  From my research it seems that you guys like this sort of thing so we are going to give it a go, but what to say, what to say...  

What the hell do you people find funny?

If I call it performance art no one can criticize, right?

Anywho... I hope you like my face. 

P.S. Don't forget to follower us on Twitter @Transmit7 or search for us on facebook 'Transmit Seven' (we couldn't get Transmit7 for email reasons.)

The End of The Website... WTF?


The www.transmit7.co.uk website, or at least a holding page, was launched a few days ago. We thought that we would try and get something up to show that we were really trying to get the ball rolling. Unfortunately, having nothing to put on it at this time was just wasting your time... so we pulled it.

If you are reading this (at the time of publishing anyway) you will know that if you visit www.transmit7.co.uk it takes you straight to our blog pages, which has all we have to offer right now. If that makes sense? I hope so. The blog pages are easy to update and incorporate our video bits and bobs, quite frankly I don’t know why we were trying to do a website as well. Maybe in the future when we are big and famous then we’ll pay someone to do it for us, for some reason or other.

Anyway, to more important things, over the last three weeks we have been working on building our twitter following for @Transmit7 and after only a short time we have gone passed 300 followers. Thank you to everyone who is taking the @Transmit7 ride, we know that it is a slow one at the moment, but when the momentum picks up you’ll be in for a... well a slightly more entertaining trip.

Please get as many of your followers to jump on board and remember we all like a good rant and if we offend anyone by doing so (Harry Potter fans in particular) we are truly sorry... resisting another dig at the Harry Potter franchise right now. 

Please follow @Transmit7 we want 350 followers by the end of next week or the big dog will bite my leg for not trying hard enough.
