Just found this YouTube video after some further research on Tron Legacy . I couldn't tell whether the start of the clip is from the actual film or is a sequence from the game. There seems to be elements of racing, driving, tank-shooting, light-cycle and a platform beat'em-up. Hopefully they haven't spread themselves too thin with all sections being below average.

After seeing the recent preview of Tron Legacy merchandise (which I believe Amazon will soon sell), Disney has gone one better with these trainers! Watch the video and prepare to drool.

There's some more Daft Punk sound clips going around which you can listen at 107.7 The End blog . These a very much soundtrack scores which will be disappointing to those expecting banging club tunes. The trailer below introduces the story better and a lot more Tron world. Enjoy!

The director who did the TV show about photography I was on told me about this. Being a huge Blade Runner fan, I was so jealous but at least someone took these photos. Its like a party with film sets to walk around, scenes to watch, live bands, actors playing parts, the film played and an experience to never forget. See the Secret Cinema website for more details. If the photos don't impress, check out their YouTube channel .

I was getting used to this TV production lark so it was slightly depressing to know it would be the last day. Pub du Vin was our last shoot location and they'd picked a great function room with a multi-tiered, drinking glass chandelier. Martin had already done his intro bit so we had to flick through our photos from our assignment and comment on them whilst being filmed. Despite using the Panasonic camera provided (which I bitched about on Monday) the photos ranged from ok to brilliant. The director had already picked his favourite dozen which I couldn't argue with. A few 'noddy' shots again from behind and the side before we met Martin again. Slideshow The second scene was to show Martin our selected photos in front of a huge Panasonic plasma TV (can you guess who sponsored this programme). Behind the telly was a guy pressing the laptop key to go show the next photo. The feedback was fair with a few constructive improvements suggested but a few more compliments ...

Sleep eluded me from a combination of worry and the stuffy, warm conditions. 8am was supposed to be the start time. Met the crew at Jury's Inn hotel and the day did not bode well as Toby, the director admitted he woke up feeling for the first time in the 4 week shoot he felt genuinely unmotivated for the day. Great, no pressure then. Kensington Gardens   I had originally in mind to take photos around St. James Street, Kemptown with the chance to see some colourful gay characters but wanted to capture a particular Brighton character. I had a hunch I'd see him and it paid off. Thank god 'Spyke' appeared as my first subject around 9:30am. I thought he'd only brought his pug dog but thankfully his white rat was inside his zip-up top. It was a rare day for him not to cycle with his rabbit in the basket. Lovely guy to meet who loved his animals. Shops were still mainly closed at this point and not much else was going on so we stopped for a coffee. As we headed for...

Monday morning was the start of the 3 day filming in Brighton for 'How to take stunning pictures'. The meeting point was a cafe called I Gigi on Western Road where Susie, myself and Martin Parr would be filmed. It was a typical yummy-mummy Hove cafe and shop for kitchen and interior design. My first impressions of Martin Parr were that he could have doubled as a strict headmaster having a very distinctive and assertive voice. The director/cameraman, Toby (or Tony as Martin called him for the rest of the day) set up the scene that we'd met Martin to show our favourite travel photo and one that we were disappointed with. We had no idea of which would be chosen as we'd submitted 3 of each. Here's an exclusive: Favourite shown and the one I was disappointed with . I'm not sure if it was favouritism or the difference in mine and Susie's photos but I got a bit more criticism than I expected. He said that my missus, in the background of the NZ mushroom fiel...

Blink Films, the producer of 'How to take stunning pictures' was located slap bang in the middle of Shoreditch with plenty of Nathan Barley types looking very cool (naturally I felt at home). Got to meet the other photographer, Suzanne who will join me and Martin Parr in Brighton on Monday. Suzanne has a great blog called some things we did and seems to be better at photography than me. Also met another photographer who had done his stint with his assigned expert having been down in Eastbourne. Found out later he does Parkour. One slightly annoying change was that we wouldn't be able to use our own cameras. Instead we'd be loaned some Panasonic Lumix shooters. Product placement perhaps? After a chat with the researchers a slightly stressed 16 year old work experience girl (who will be doing Latin and 3 other A levels) walked us over to the warehouse-like flat studio where we'd film the very short intro of ourselves in the company of the Queen of Channel 5, Suz...

If you'd been following my Twitter or Facebook status updates then you'd know about the amazing opportunity I've been given. Thanks to Twitter I found out about a potential Channel 5 TV programme on photography and its researcher was looking for people who love travel and photography and are Brighton-based. With an application and interview later, I received the good news last Friday. The basic concept is that I'll spend a day in the company of a famous professional photographer around Brighton learning tips and tricks along the way. Then I get two days on my own to snap my best shots with my much improved technique. According to the TV researcher, the programme is a series of six each dealing with two amateurs in different types of photography. Travel being my show (with another amateur) where others are action, portrait, nature, wedding and maybe another. So, who will be my mentor? Pictured below, Martin Parr 's recent work has focused on more closer travels s...

This was our only festival this year. Over the past few months I'd been hoping the line-up would add a few decent, up-and-coming dance acts but instead they added Missy Eliott and Snoop Dogg for the Saturday. Still the festival has the best organisation and location in Hyde Park plus some new and old friends were coming along for a laugh. We'd planned to see AutoKratz but didn't make the start time and there wasn't a lot on for another 2 hours so headed for the bars until UNKLE came on. I'd seen them years ago at Glastonbury and they were still flogging their rock style. By now we expected the tent to be over-flowing like previous years but today you could tell ticket sales were low as there was plenty of room. It wasn't long until 2ManyDJs were on the main stage and all our friends had made it on site. The Belgian boys played well, perhaps their best performance in awhile playing their biggest fun party set yet. Funniest moment was a naked guy invading ...
