    Coming from a working background in radio I've always loved music.... Making clips and videos etc... The creative process is so much fun from an idea to the editing and final creation of it... Here's some examples of just messing around with some cool songs and ideas.

    They Stood Up For Love

    I'm a big fan of the guys from Freestate out of Melbourne... Shooting all kinds of adventures with them over the years... In the clip below I took one of their high energy rock tracks and thought it'd be perfect for a clip with Aussie Casey Stoner.

    Speed of Sound

    Another one of the friends I've made in making the show is New York Subway artist Theo Eastwind.... Theo's been playing in the Subways in NY for nearly 15 years... Gathering a cult following from thousands on New Yorkers... I read about an online video contest and emailed him to see whether he'd like to create a song... And I'll create the video for it... He covered his end... Just as I sat down to link some footage to the tunes I played the song under the movie promo... I couldn't believe how perfectly it suited the vibe.. Here's what I found :)

    One of the craziest adventures so far was in 2004 when I was invited to film behind the scenes of a top Hollywood Porn film.... Interviewing the Adult stars as well as the Producer and Director... An interesting Day in LA that's for sure.

About me:

Watch The TheWebShow.tv

" BALANCE NOT JUST FOR KARATE ...... BALANCE IS LESSON FOR WHOLE LIFE " .... Mr. Miyagi - Karate Kid

I'm someone that loves to be inspired.... I love that feeling when you see something... Or hear something... Or read something that just makes you feel like anything is possible... Those moments can change your life... The power of stories and setting dreams in motion.

With Technology now catching up to our imaginations then there's really no limits... Anything is possible... So my dream is to take a home video camera around the world and meet and film with as many people as I can... Sharing all kinds of stories from all kinds of people.. With a camera in my hand I can make it not only about the person being interviewed or featured... But the adventure that happens along the way... Reality TV that's actually Real...

People, places. stories faces.

The clips below are a demo of the concept.... It's always exciting taking off and not knowing what's going to happen... Who you're going to meet... Or where the adventure will lead... Like this day in Los Angeles... I was walking along the Sunset strip and stopped at a cafe for a drink... I saw Actor James Woods sitting nearby and asked him if it would be ok if we filmed a quick chat... This is what happened.

James Woods

Another crazy moment in making the show happened at LAX airport in 2005.... I'd just been told my flight to NY had been delayed 5 hours so I wasn't in the best of moods... That soon changed when I saw one of my all time sporting heroes walking by in boxer Roy Jones Jr... Roy was an idol to me... I'd been following all his fights for for years... I followed him into the gift shop... Said hi... Told him how big a fan I was and then asked if I could film a quick interview... He said "Sure"... This was not only a big moment for me as a lifelong fan... But in making the show... Cause it was only then I'd realized I'd checked the tripod in with my luggage.... So I had to hold the camera in my left hand and the microphone in my right... That's why I keep looking back at the camera during the interview... To make sure we're both actually on the screen :)

Roy was super cool and it's from doing this interview I realized I could just travel around with the camera and mic.... Hope you enjoy the moment below.

Roy Jones Jnr

So those clips above are from some of the adventures in making TheWebShow in years gone by.... The clip below is something I shot in June of 2009.... What a story??? French Spiderman Alain Robert... This guy has to be one of the most unique people on the planet... Brave.. Focussed... Some would say crazy :) .... Not me though... I love it when people take on the ultimate test to truly see what's possible... Alain proves the answer to that is "Anything" :)

Alain Robert - The French Spiderman

Here's some other examples of recent adventures and some of the people met along the way... I was filming in Paris in May of 2009 and have always been a big Jim Morrison fan... I randomly met a guy called Patrice... Who offered to show me around the city on his scooter... Past the Arc De Triumph... Down the Champs Elysees.. And then onto the famous cemetery when Jim has been laid to rest.

Paris - Jim Morrison - Sacre Coeur

And on the same trip in May I flow over to London for another week of adventures... You can see the whole series by clicking on the blog above.... In this clip I went on the Jack the Ripper tour... A fascinating look at the legend of the Ripper... And a quick tour with information about the history of the East End of London.

London - Jack the Ripper

    Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)

    Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)

    Maaate, after five years away from Oz, I'm popping home to Bundy for a few weeks in Dec - not least to sort out my accent. Via San Fransisco, LA, Auckland and Sydney of course.
    Be sure to wave if you see me walking aorund :)
