A funny secret

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

I quite look forward to Sundays - it’s the day I get the PostSecret post. If you’ve never come across this strangley addictive community art project then have a look at the back-story.

Anyhoo… the secrets are often a bit bleak & depressing, but this one really made me laugh out loud today.

Today’s blog entry is a film. Taking the concept of blogging a bit further, I guess video blogging isn’t new, but it’s the first time I feel like a post on this blog really crosses the boundry between writing and film-making.

Below is the script, which could well be read as a blog post, but better still is watching the movie. Now that I’m using Vimeo to publish my films on the web (instead of youtube), it means the quality is not only much higher, but you can also watch the film in full screen mode. Just click the button illustrated in this picture to try it.

So here’s the script:

I’ve been looking after Tia the cat for the last couple of months now. She’s only little. But she’s cute isn’t she? She doesn’t say much, Tia. She’s a quiet cat. So I was surprised to hear her calling to me. Turns out out she was really proud of herself. She’s been trying for a long time, but today she’d finally managed to murder some poor creature. She proudly showed me this sad little dead bird. Offering me first dibs should want to bite it’s head off I suppose. Then she spent a happy 10 minutes re-killing it and showing me how clever she was. How very sweet. Murdering little bastard. I’ll miss her when she goes. She’s off to a new home soon. She might be a murdering bastard. But she’s my murdering bastard. At least for now.

& here’s the film
