Almost there. Just this day of teaching and then I'm free. Well, until next week's sessions. Not sure what I'm going to do next week. I might just make sure they really are ready to go for the shoot the week after, and then show them another 10 minute film school, the good one from El Mariachi.

Today's session was one of those which restores your faith in human nature. After a week of dragging people around by their nose rings to try and make them have any spark of initiative or drive, I hit this group. The good group.

Again I say, here's a kit of parts to make a film studio, just put it together and... no sooner are the words out of my mouth, they are standing up as one person, working as a team to get things together. I just kind of sat there with a far away dreamy look in my eye. This is how it's supposed to be.

Then I notice a pile of neatly mounted art boards with photos and labels on. I took this to be a presentation from our marketing department which got left here accidentally. No, it's these guys location materials, photos of all the locations they want to work in, maps of where they lie in Bristol and how to get there. (Expletive deleted) me! I've died and gone to techie teacher heaven.

You know what it is? As a teacher you start to realise the people you get the most pleasure out of teaching are those who really don't need your help, who would get there anyway if you left them to their own devices long enough. But just a little guidance and they bloom into these great professionals. And they want to know everything you know, they ask questions, they pose scenarios and on a molecular level totally GET what your talking about. It's the joy of teaching. That joy which makes the hard, bone aching slog of trying to beat the information into the other unwilling brains that much easier to bear.

It was fun, but I'm really ready for tomorrow.
