Unbelievable

Can you believe this shit: Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General announces "Personally, I am very much relieved by the news that justice has been done to such a mastermind of international terrorism." after the apparent killing of Osama Bin Laden. So much for the UN being the international protector of human rights.
Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him." (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml)

Bin Laded was never convicted of the attacks on the US in a court of law and the only reason he was held accountable for these actions was because he was the leader of the organization who was accused but never proven to have purported the acts of 9/11. If he was killed in the fashion reported by the White-house he was illegally gunned down in a foreign country while he was unarmed and he was not given the option to surrender and stand trial. This action is against his fundamental human right and it cannot be supported by the UN Secretary General.

Ban should be removed from office as soon as possible and the entire Obama regime should be impeached for violating international law.

Killing Osama was Wrong

Besides the fact that I do not believe that Osama was responsible for the September 11 2001 attacks on the US (start your journey with watching Loose Change: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3oIbO0AWE) and that I believe that the US did not kill Osama. I would like to know why they would dump body of the world's most wanted terrorist in the ocean? They name two reasons - they observed the Islam burial rites and that they did not want to create a shrine for terrorist the world over. Bullshit. Islam does allow for burial at sea - only when there is no possibility of getting the body to the shore for a proper burial, which clearly was possible. Thus they had no intention of observing his burial rites - and why would they even care. They reportedly shot him in the face - did that then elicit a sense of shame that lead them to try to compensate by trying to give him the burial he deserved? This - in the least - was an operation that reported the death of Osama that will in the near future be used to create new attacks on the US in the same way as 9/11, supposedly by angered Muslims, but in fact by the US themselves, to justify an extension of the so-called war on terror.

But that is not the point - Let's say for a minute that I had changed my mind and that I believe Osama orchestrated and purported the September 11 attacks and that by some miracle he evaded the US for 10 years and that he got shot in the face just this week. What will the United Nations do to the US after an illegal military operation in a foreign country that lead to the murder of at least one foreign national. Also, what will the international community think of a country that assassinates people over the world for alleged crimes without giving those alleged terrorist the benefit of a trial or hearing?

I am not condoning terrorism - I only want everyone to understand that there is no excuse for the murder of any person for crimes they have not been proven guilty of. Say your say - speak up -email - twitter get the word out.

Stop the US and their terror campaing against the world.

Feedback op die Video

Na wat gevoel het soos tien ure het die video uiteindelik klaar ge-render. Oor die algemeen was die klank en beeld baie goed. Die High Def is myle beter as standaard, en die mike se kwaliteit is goed. Daar is 'n paar niggles met wind geraas, maar niks wat nie deur een van daai wol kondome oor die mike uitgesort kan word nie. Ek is posetief oor die kwaliteit van die equipment en ek is nogsteeds stoked oor die huis. As ek momentum kan behou met die script sal alles op dreef bly.

Hier is die script soos hy nou staan. Die eerste act is klaar. Op die stadium vorder act 2 fluks, maar kort 'n einde. 3 en 4 behoort meer pas te he, minder dialoog en meer aksie.

Richard, I forgot to thank you for the email. Die res van julle, stuur maar idess aan, of sê dis kak, of so iets.

Die eerste recce

Ons het vanoggend ons eerste recce by die spookhuis gaan gooi. Daarby het ons sommer die tyd gebruik om die kamera te toets, en ook 'n soundcheck te doen. Die huis is awesome. Twee verdiepings, 'n moerse basement en baie 'nooks and crannies'.

Ek is nou besig om die footage te render. Ek't met 'n skok agter gekom dat daar 'n helse verskil is in die render tyd van HD vs normale DV. My arme PC hardloop nou al 3 ure, en dit net vir sowat 20 minute se video. Ek is seker dat die kwaliteit sal opmaak vir die pyn in die gat render tyd. 'n ander klein irritasie is dat my PC nie realtime editing sal kan doen nie, so as jy 'n spaar Apple Mac Pro het, pos hom maar vir my. Intussen sal ek op die laptop moet edit, dis al in die huis wat die poeiers het.

Terug na die huis, hier 'n foto of twee om 'n idee te gee waarvan ek praat.

Terug na die script.

Uitbreidings op die storie lyn

Gisteraand was 'n goeie aand vir die script. Ek, René en Werner (callsign Smirre) het met oom Google gaan praat. Die doel was om ten minste 'n idee te hê oor hoekom die Liebig huis nou eintlik haunted is. 'n Interessante paar websites later (en 'n paar Tafels) en 'n lang post op WOMF het ons net laat besef dat niemand regtig weet nie en dat daar 'n klomp uiteenlopende geskiedenisse is vir die huis. Daarby gesê was die mees populêre weergawe die van 'n prostituut wat haar ontydige einde in die huis gehad het. Dus, vandaar die idee:

Die huis en die prostituut is verskillende kante van dieselfde karakter. Sekere oomblike is dit die huis wat die karakters antagoneer, sekere oomblikke is dit die 'dame' self wat verskyn.

Dit los vir my 'n paar probleme met die storie op. Ek was tot gisteraand toe onseker of die goëlery werklik of imagined moes wees. Ook was ek onseker hoe om die antagonis aanmekaar te sit.

Nou is daar 'n beter direksie, die plot kry lyf, so te sê.

Idees na jakkalskruger@gmail.com

Eerste Scene

Ek het tentatief besluit om met die vliegtuig idee voort te gaan. Die deel is geskryf tot by die titles. Die script is hier beskikbaar vir download: Spookhuis Script



Weereens, enige voorstelle of aanbiedinge van hulp - mail my: jakkalskruger@gmail.com.

Intro

Ok, elke ding het 'n begin. So ook moet die movie he... Een van twee idees:

#1 - 'n paar pelle ry op 'n onbekende grondpad en in die omgeweing van die spookhuis gaan die GPS haywire en gee verkeerde inligting wat hulle na die huis neem (die ou tire bars naby 'n serious huis idee, opgevars)

of

#2 - Paar pelle vlieg oor 'n deel van Namibia en sien die huis uit die lug uit... Hulle besluit om die plek op te soek, en dan spat die stree--oo-en-tee.

Dissie begin.
