In March 2008 The One Point jumped onboard the 'Hulldon' train and went to visit the IP&TV World Forum at Olympia. Two expansive floors of flickering set-top boxes and smart tellys a'pushin' an' a'pullin' multimedia back and forth the Internet.
I met up with Peter Gentle with his arrival to Hull FC after his Q&A's from fans and a press conference for local media that I streamed Live to HULLFC.com
'Football. It's a funny old game,' as Jimmy Greaves, with a jovial wink to camera, used to sign-off his and Saint's erstwhile Saturday morning ITV show with back in the 1980s. Except, in 2011, football's not very funny anymore, is it? It's a deadly serious game of £250,000 per week wage packets [Wayne Rooney], diamond-driven WAGS, parachute payments, angrily-penned post-game Twitter outbursts, ruthless agents and trans-global, multi-platform corporate sponsorship agreements.
Nietzsche’s brilliantly simple Principle of Eternal Recurrence is the basic premise proceeding from the assumption that the probability of a world coming into existence exactly like our own is finite. If either time or space are infinite then mathematics tells us that our existence will recur an infinite number of times.
Am currently ensconced in The One Point's edit suite watching Pendulum's 'Watercolour' music promo (2010). It's a glorious piece of work, festooned in amorphous imagery, blue-tinged, anamorphic lens motif, CG'd astral metaphors, expensive-looking slo-mo performance -- plus, of course, a brilliant song. Business-wise, everything a music promo should be: exciting, engaging, memorable, innovative and, moreover, marketable. I've no idea who's produced it, but they've done the Australian-British electrorock outfit proud. It looks like it cost a fortune.
