Well I finally have everything sorted for the uberOz fire video i'm making.



All the footage is captured, Kyle and elliott have made a badass tune.



I've clipped 90 minutes of fire footage (from outside the hall on the saturday and poolside at the party)



I just need permissions from people to use their footage as this is going on the Spercular Vision dvd.



So if you are one of these people or know their hop name then pm me please.



If i get everyones email i can just bulk mail you all.



(I'm not too hot on names so apologys if i get your name wrong)



Alice: who was spinning staff with kyle



Amanda: Double short fire staff



Ben-ja-min



Bill Bender



BurningDan



Another Dan i think: Firepoi, Long brown hair, 3/4 length jeans



Dentrassi



Dom



Kyle



Luke: YT i think?



Mark: the club juggler, fire and glow footage



Nick Woolsey: only a little footage of you frown



I think another guy called Matt spinnning fire staff on his back



Rob Bluecat



Ry



Troy





Rob i'll be able to get his footage to you at some point, it's about 15Gb tho so i'll have to figure a good way. I'll see what size it is if i compress it down to dvd quality.



Brings back very fond memories watching all this footage again. The level of skill at uberOz was breath taking. It's an increadibly hard task cutting this down to 9 mins, might have to overlay 2 people at once just to fit it all in.

Thanks for that.

I had my camera at confest but never got round to filming any fire, so it's probably someone else.

Hey Matt
Yep, I give permission for my backyard to be used as a location wink
and the Dan with long hair you refer to is Dan Brookes, can be contacted through Kyle McLean.
Amanda and Matt are indeed from Three WOrlds on the GOld Coast.
The juggler Mark is Mark Douglas from Sydney. Matt I can PM you mobile numbers and email addresses for most of these people if you ask nicely. Or maybe i'll do it anyway when I get back from Kingston Green Fair.
Hugs

Ben you look marvelous, and i'm a great editor wink

Gabe, didn't wanna put you out whilst you're off on great adventures. But some contact details would be super sweet. Hope you're having a blast in london town. You really should head down to brighton on a sunny weekend, my home town will treat you well i'm sure.

Bill, i forgot you've got that footage. Had a lot of fun spinning at confest. I don't have that much footage of you i'm afraid, just 1 burn in gabes garden. But i'm sure we could come to some arrangements. I'll be back in melbourne on the 3rd july smile Easiest thing for me is to bring hard drives round and copy straight across. Then you can have whatever you like.

Right, must stop procrastinating, gotta finish the uberoz video (looking sweet as btw)

OOOOooo maybe just 1 more cup of tea wink

Well i'm just rendering up a copy of the uberOz video. Damn it's taken ages to make. And i've just realised 1 person who i have oodles of footage of and completely forgot to put in the video, juggler mark. DOH

Hmmm. Thing is i have so much footage that i couldn't face clipping it up with all the rest. I'll get in touch with him and maybe squeeze a few clips in this video and make a separate thing in the vj section, or something.

bugger,

But apart from that today went really well, after yesterday deciding i didn't like the video i'd made, it just wasn't clicking. But today i love it.

ps bill are you getting wibbles and tangles confused?

Well hello hello wavehello



People are starting to ask me for news of the second UberOz for 07, or more succinctly: 2UberOz7



The bad news is I am not organising anything early this year (too close to Woodford Circadia, and I need some day job $$ right now rather than another round of gratis event management!)



No one else seems to be putting hands up to organise one either, though we did have some talk about a Melbourne event. (If anyone wants to get something up in their home town, contact Bluecat for naming rights! smile )



BUT...



The good news is that I AM organising something for later in the year, that will incorporate a 2UberOz style event (residential, masterclasses in poi and staff) within a more ambitious event; an Australian Juggling Convention clap



I just bought the domain name ozjc.com as the crucial first step. (Telling you all about it is the crucial second step wink) Details will be going up online (and on HoP of course) as soon as I know them.



This inaugral OzJC will be in Brisbane, probably in late August/early Sept. That way we can finish with giant Fireworks on the River kindly laid on by the City Council! Unfortunately this is not in school holidays... having it in the Sept hols would be a clash with Common Ground. Also in August I will be able to get at least one certain International Superstar Guest Dude to visit our shores ubbrollsmile



OzJC will not necessarily be like any other Juggling Convention. It will be based across various parts of our lovely city rather than a self contained location. (I am very open for people taking the concept to other cities in future. That's why it's called OzJC rather than BrisJC...))



The 2UberOz-type bit will hopefully be at the same school/scout hall, for a weekend. The rest of the week will be in beautiful Brissy locations, and with some outreach/integration into the wider community. So it will be a great holiday as well as a great time for learning/sharing.

Plans are in an early stage.

Suggestions and offers of help are welcome! Anyone know much about marketing in Japan??
