Thanks for all the great comments. It seems that the overwhelming majority of you want me to keep on as I am but ideally a bit quicker! :-) I will try to speed up the editing but might have to get another editor to help me edit the blogs as I am clearly struggling just doing it myself. NOTE I am talking about the blogs not the film! :-) I also need to apologise - I have left for a real holiday for the first time in 2.5 yrs, so the next blog will be delayed, :-( I didn't get time to do it b4.

You haven't put up a blog 45, you've just put up a blog 43 twice...

[thelonefilmmaker]

Yep, I can count... honest! Whoops...

Hey Rob, it's Chris!

Nice to see you're back on track and beardless, ha ha. Looking forward to see how the story unfolds and as a storyteller can only give you the advice not to give away anything but to let the story unfold as truthfully as you can muster.

Editing for the sake of interesting content is obvious just remember that truth comes first.

And finally to give you a friendly kick up the bum remember momentum. People here have been patient with you. Reward them by posting regularly. C

Hi Chris! How's life with you? Still living in London and in contact with the Decrespigny Park bunch?

I agree. The slowness is bugging me too. Problem is each blog takes a day to edit and I am having to do them after work (which often overruns), so I'm finding it takes about 3-4 evenings to do, so to do one every week just kills my social life and to sit at a computer for that length of time after spending all day in front of it gets sooo depressing! Am considering getting a blog editor, :-)

You can edit all of the next blogs as one big thing, then post them up in 3-5 minunte parts.

[thelonefilmmaker]

That is what I am thinking of doing vishifishi - then that would give it some consistency again in terms of posting the vids. :-)

Rob, please don't tell us the end result. I think it's truly great that you and Gaby are still together and whatnot, and I believe you make a very good point when you say that it's important to show the struggle and fights that came along with the movie projects.

Regardless of if you actually have finished the movie or not in the end, these blogs you are posting here are amazing and give the viewers a profound look at how such a project can change one's life and it tells a story of its own.

I don't think you should tell us where you are now, but keep telling the story chronologically: it's very interesting to watch it unfold. If you were to make one, I'd put a big spoiler alert on it so as to warn people who don't want to watch it (but that doesn't stop comments being made on later videos; a minor issue at most).

I've found your storytelling to be excellent, and after stopping watching Youtube regularly and deleting my account, this was the only thing I came back for!

Realy glad everything came better between you and Gabby.Marry Christmas and hope you have a great time with the film!

Hey buddy!

Yeah, I'm still in London but not really in touch with any of the De Crespigny lot. Still acting and directing, still making little films but this year has been tough.

Can imagine those blogs eating up the time. Remember that they're utillities and don't have to be well edited. People are just interested about what happened!

Keep at it buddy and gimme a shout if you need and evening off and a beer.

Chris

YOU might find all your stuff with G interesting, but I don't! Make a personal diary if you really want to record and archive your break up (if that's what happened) but I want to see film. I want to see story. You are G are not interesting. You're like a million couples out there. I want to see what makes you different, ie your film.

just saw this. great update!

[varflane]

Hi, been watching since blog 1. It's great to see that all will end well (I hope). Great to see you in better spirits. I wish you the best of luck for the future, and look forward to each new update. My advice - sell everything and buy a classic american muscle car. (and be in debt for life). Best wishes for the future, live long and drive a real V8, Gabby will love it.
