Is It Time To Give Up Dreaming And Get A Real Job?

Motivation Inspiration Success
Friday, 23 February 2007

Should I give up my Hollywood Dreams and get a real job?

The continual chase, the lack of reward for effort put in, continually spending time and money to train and get better in a job that isn't delivering an income, dealing with situations beyond your control and the uncertainity and irregularity of income. Or I get a nice comfortable (safe?) job that pays me a good sized pay check each and every week?

This is a question I have had to ask myself often in my career, now more so than ever...

Sunday, 11 February 2007

This is a short demo shoot for the stunt director to show to the Director as to some indication of the fight sequences.

We do this for a variety of reasons including cutting the figh to shoot all the same camera angle in one run, so that the fight is not shot as a continuous flow, also this is for us to see what it looks like on camera and to see what might be added or improved...

Beating Depression

Motivation Inspiration Success
Tuesday, 09 January 2007

Everyone suffers from depression every so often, this is not such a big deal IF you can turn your thoughts around to beating depression... otherwise you can sink lower and lower into your troubles until they seem to be your whole world.

There have been times in my life when beating depression has been a rigorous daily exercise , even just recently... 

#1 TIP: You are most likely Magnesium deficient, get a good organic based supplement, some Magnesium cannot be absorbed by your body so don't go the numbers do a little research. I personally went from massive depression and lethargy laying on the couch all day to jumping about like my normal manic self injust three days after taking a good quality magnesium supplement.

Epsom salts are a good way to boost your magnesium, take a bath in a cupful. (UPDATE 2015: I now add a teaspoon of Magnesium Chloride crystals to 6 litres of drinking water that I ingest daily, MgCl can be bought online easily.)

My Overland Trip To Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Tall Actors Giant Life
Friday, 15 December 2006

Several months ago I went on a short holiday for a week to visit some of the other sites in the region, predominantly I wanted to visit Phnom Penh, Cambodia and have a look at the place in terms of a future base (home).

People who travel to one other country then espouse how great it is and how they want to live there the rest of their life, in my opinion, are making a mistake. What are they basing their judgement on? Experience with 2 countries out of hundreds? Get out and have a good look around before you make your decision on where in the world you want to live. Also note that a 2 day package tour does not show you what a country is like at all - it shows you 5 star hotels and a group of tourists taking photos.

So off I went - overland - to get a good look at Cambodia, Phnom Penh and the people....

As An Uncoordinated Child I Knew I Had To Do Something

Tall Actors Giant Life
Thursday, 07 December 2006

As a child I was very uncoordinated, whenever I played sports I could not hit the ball, catch the ball, or just about anything sports related. The only thing I could do was swim ok, and run long distance.

When we had sports at school I was always one of the last to be chosen in a team, nobody wanted an uncoordinated nerd on their team.

I did not like being uncoordinated, and here is how I went about changing that to become known widely as being very agile for my size....

Affirmation Statements - Most People Waste Their Time

Motivation Inspiration Success
Wednesday, 06 December 2006

Affirmation statements are short sentences you say over and over to impress their meaning upon your mind.

The reasoning behind  affirmation statements is that if you say certain words to yourself over and over the universe will attract those things to you and you will essentially get something for nothing - what rubbish, that is not how the world, nor affirmation statements work....

Think Your Life Is Bad? Email From Bradley And Inspiration From Stephen Hawking

Tall Actors Giant Life
Sunday, 12 November 2006

I received an email today from Brad M. from Australia, he has taken a new turn in life as before he was always depressed and thinking his life was bad.

I thought my life was bad too for a long time as a younger fellow. I could not see anyway out of my life at that point which held little hope for living the life that I wanted. But I always went to the gym, deep down I knew this was one way for me to take a small step forward everyday, even though I did not know where it would lead.

Read on, and read the incredible story of a man who cannot walk, talk or move 90% of his body yet he is one of the greatest men of all time. He is a living example of inspiration for the rest of us. Makes me feel like a fool for complaining when I was younger...
