Martin Grace 1942-2010

I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of one of nature's true gentleman. Dear friend and colleague; Martin Grace.

My sincerest condolences go to his family and those who's lives were touched by Martin's boundless energy, infectious enthusiasm and thoughtful generosity.

Always understated and humble, Martin was truly a uniquely gifted individual and an amazing stunt performer and coordinator.

Truly a courageous force of nature and a sad loss to all those who were blessed with his company, companionship and kindness.

You will be sadly missed and fondly remembered, dear friend.

EDGE OF DARKNESS PREMIER

I had an absolutely amazing evening at the "Edge Of Darkness" premier last night at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, courtesy of old mate; Ray Winstone!

I won't say too much about the movie and give the plot away, but Ray was absolutely outstanding as Darius Jedburgh and almost steals the film from Mel Gibson, who gives one of the finest performances of his career. It was also really nice to spend some time at the party with Ray's beautiful wife, Elaine and catch up with pals Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Hannah! You guys rock!

Edge of Darkness is timely, taught and thought-provoking filmmaking, directed by Martin Campbell with a fantastic supporting cast, including Danny Huston.

Mel Gibson is back on tense and dynamic form. Go see it!

Have you Seen This Video?

This is a brilliant video by my friend Jess Harnell (you may know him as the voice of Ironhide in Transformers ROTF) - he is a hell of a singer and this mash-up is amazing. His band is Rock Sugar, the song is familiar (or is it?) Check it out.

BAFTA Event at Sony Studios with Michael Bay and the Sound Crew

I had a wonderful evening at Sony Studios at a BAFTA presentation of the sound production team for Transformers-Revenge Of The Fallen with Michael Bay and the entire sound mixing and editing crew! The presentation was held in The Cary Grant sound mixing theater on the Sony Lot and Michael Bay was MC! Greg Russell, Gary Summers, Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van Der Ryn all gave fun and informative insights about the building of the Sound-Scape for ROTF. Great stuff and good luck with all the awards. You deserve it chaps!
