   Hi Brian.

   I’ve been following your blog for a while. I’ve enjoyed reading you insights and ideas on the technique and craft of directing with often limited resourses so I was particularly pleased to be able see your principles in practice when Aztec Rex came on TV. I forced my girlfreind to watch it and despite her claims that she didn’t like monster movies, the drama pulled her in to the story and she loved it (as did I). Can’t wait to track down Turkey Shoot, Hong Kong and the rest of the classics.

   Anyway,given your track record, I thought you might like this:

   We tried to make the most intense car chase ever, with no money using a combination of green screen, stop motion and old fashioned dangerous driving.

   Hope you like it.

   Keep up the good work

   Ian

   Hi Ian,
   That’s a great piece of work! A rousing accompaniment to my breakfast tea and toast. I shall speed through the morning as a result. The plane was a particularly nice touch. You have probably seen this - no CG - but here’s something for fellow speed freaks. It has to be the ultimate rush…

   Keep aiming high.
