I made a visit to Vernaculairy, at the Brickhouse, Brick Lane last night. A fantastic taster of East London's burgeoning arts scene -a welcome reunion of the usual reprobates and unlikely scholars that thrown together make up a Don Eales signature event. Excerpts from a recently published book depicting a rare interview with pop legend Phil Spector, just weeks before an actress was found with her head blown off in his house. Madame Slam told more of her (very) far-out tales of an erotic nature (and bore all by her last performance according to the late night crowd!). A great line up and nice to see some old faces from the Lane.

I then went down the road to the legendry Foundry, to bear witness to my dear friend Ant the Rant's first art exhibition 'The Ghosts in my Clothes'. An unbelievable insight into the inner reality of the horrors of a life changing psychotic episode, culminating in a stint in the priory and exasperated by an incessantly jabbering jacket! A testament to the heart, balls and character of the unique man that is Ant the Rant. We celebrated in true Shoreditch style and I've a quality hangover to show for it!

I've just received an invite to attend a demonstration of the Intersense VCam-Live VR Camera. For someone who mainly works in concept development and entertainment production, this is sounding quite techie!

I'm embracing the privaledged position I'm in when it comes to being in the know about new technologies that can enhance events. There's some amazing 3D products and interactive elements that blow the minds of both clients and event guests!

This particular bit of kit was just launched just last March. Intersense's VCam offers live-action cinematographers the chance to interface real world professional cameras with fully animating virtual scenes. Now film directors can gain direct control to their virtual sets and characters for rapid previsualisation at production resolution and games producers can cut time on animating cut scenes.

Sounds like it's worth checking out! Watch this space....
