    Mark's descriptions of things are good enough, (that is why he works on radio), without the naff effects.

    Honestly, its like a student project... you don't need to use every video filter and transition.

    Love it. I just watched the trailer for "Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane" and the cinematography is eerily similar.

    What this means, of course, is that all the other critics (and the BBC camera crew) should watch out: Mark is soon to become infected. And we all know that once Cannes Craziness (or some other alliterative disease) is in your blood, you're already dead.

    Great, looking forward to hearing the review Friday afternoon (some of us go out on friday evenings!)

    This video looked like the producers were playing with photobooth on their mac though.

    Are they bored out there in Cannes?

    Wow, Cannes looks like Hell on Toast, my sympathies to anyone there against their will and better judgement. I'm wondering which part would be the most infuriating: currently torn between the oppressive crowding and thinly veiled pretension. But there must be SOME aspect of the proceedings that makes it bearable (musn't there? Or do you just adopt the brace position and manically recite the 'tears in the rain' speech from Bladerunner, as I do in a tight spot?)
