The Divine Comedy

Its been a long time since I posted anything on here. So heres what I've done. I've started looking at Adobe Flash again and this time started looking at Action Script 3.0. The work I have been doing is preparing my CV looking at design houses and studios as well as drawing up a storyboard for the new project of screen based work. This is where with my previous experience I should do well. But by the look of everyone else's work mine might not be as good. As I have struggled with the brief.

The main Idea of this Post was to show some of my influences at the moment. If you don't know already there is a new Xbox 360 game out called 'Dante's Inferno' the game is based on the book 'The Divine Comedy' from this it has lead me to want to learn more about this and really start to look at all the books within the series. 'The Divine Comedy' from what I'm aware is based over 3 Chapters or books. These are Inferno or Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. This idea has always intrigued me and am looking further to reading the books. I am putting the book on this post if you were wanting to read it too:

More influences have come in the form of music and film. In music there's The Temper Trap, Plan B, Peter Gabriel and Massive Attack. These are some new albums and I am still listening to the Sia albums. With film there's 'Blindness' an awesomely haunting film that truly starts you thinking about your own eye sight and baffles the senses to start to believe you are blind too.

I will try and keep up with posting now and keep you updated.
