You tube, my tube, your tube. (Film)

I've had delusions about making films for most of my life, not because I'm an avid film buff especially, but more because of the chance that it could make my thoughts 'immortal'. Now I'm this way along the line I realise that the kind of recognition I was after doesn't match the medium. Maybe I should have stuck with science at the 'crossroads 'way back when I left school, you never know I could have made a small discovery. I thought I made a discovery once, I thought I had come up with a totally unique way to make images and video on the evidence that I hadn't seen any images like them. I called the process Timemorphing which was suggested to me by my longest running, long suffering friend Tim. The bubble was finally popped when I showed some results to Andy, a friend from my Computer Graphics MSc course. As with most things the point that it can be said that a process has been discovered is dependent on the criteria you set, from the start I used different shaped animations to control the distortion which I think should at least suggest I have an enquiring mind. Psychologically I have always felt I need to prove my intelligence, it is defiantly a central driving force of mine set up from childhood; when I left school I had top marks in Science and art and bottom marks in English and sports. Many of these imbalances have been rectified now and have added richness to my endeavours: I am actively involved in science discussions; I have a few completed film scripts, have had many exhibitions and done well in Half marathons. As with most people we exist in many places, emotional, socially and intellectually, at once: as one thing is knocked down another thing flares up. At the moment I am dissatisfied with my current employment and in the process of calving out something better.
