Today was really eventful. I got a lot of footage filmed that I definitely want to use in my music video, and met with the graphic designer I am working with for the EP. I was concerned that my idea to spray paint individual CD's was too unrealistic due to the intricate nature of parts of the design, such as the font on the track list. Milli informed me that this would be easy to create in stencil form, which was a huge relief and now I can't wait to get making them on Wednesday night!

I've also been looking into CD pressing today, and I think the most realistic direction for me to go is to do it independently myself using the facilities in Uni. In the Institute of Creative Technologies (DMU) there is a Rimage CD/DVD printer that I can duplicate and print 50 CD's on, which is perfect for a project of this size because online, I have only been able to find large duplication packages of a 100 minimum. 

Also, today, a uni course mate promoted the Cub Facebook page through his label which has a large following of thousands and I had some interest from the States and even got a message of an artist who is interested in collaborating for my next EP - exciting stuff!

On Wednesday my plan is to call the packaging company that I am interested in buying my casing from and meeting with Eric to show him where things are at the moment and ask him some questions regarding the copyright legalities involved with the EP etc.

Always workin'!
