Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Hmm..... I've always wondered how to start a Blog.... Well.... Here goes, for those who do not know who i am... and that's a great many people, My name is Alex Tiltman, i am the owner and main presenter of a small video production company called Dark Noble, we make all kinds of videos, from music videos to films, and everything in between, this month we are celebrating our third birthday, it's amazing to look at how things have changed in that time, people have come and gone, we have had to fight to stay running, it's been a wild ride, Sorry if i am rambling, I'm not used to writing down my thoughts..... anyway let me explain what has me working hard at this time...
The Cancer Corner:
So, Jase contacted me the other day, He is the owner of 666HaloJaseDrocker666 Studios We work together closely, he's like a brother to me, Well he contacted me about a page on Facebook, Called the Cancer Corner, it's run by a wonderful lady called Catey Dolan, and it's there to help and support people who's lives have been affected by the dreaded C word, i have some experience of what it is like to have someone who has Cancer in your life and i know how hard it can be to cope with losing them, so i jumped at the chance to get involved in such a wonderful program! So far we have been promoting like mad to get the word out about this site and Jase has recorded a track titled Hope, it's a beautiful song that captures the emotions of going through struggle and always clinging onto what you have, Last night we were shooting the music video for it and we worked through the night, at around four in the morning i realised how much backing this cause means to me, and how much it means to all the people involved, i felt proud to be brought into this wonderful caring group of people, i know i'm a sentimental git but you have to understand it takes a lot to move me to the rate this has, hence why it is the first thing i am blogging about.
The "Hope" Music Video:
so, onto the main event! this is what we spent the whole of last night doing, so Jase messaged me saying he was going to start recording this video by using empty streets and the darkness and i thought "Great i think i might pop along with him and help out" so off i trotted to town... by trotted i mean a slow meander, and just as i got into town the heavens opened! those who know me know i wear a leather jacket when i go out so luckily i stayed dry.... same can't be said for Jase, when he turned up to my little sheltered area he was soaked but in good spirits, when i asked why he explained what the video was about.... Hope, and that it is his hope that this video will bring hope to all those who need it, all those who deserve something great, all those that have had such a rough time be it with the C word or otherwise, that maybe they can find it within the video we created, i like to think so, so in the pouring rain we ventured forth, taking many shots of our town, Ashford, a place that has seen many things, and still looks to the future, as i write this i look out of my window and hope it never goes away, for what is hope? a wanting? a wish? or is it what makes us human? a hope to touch the stars, a hope to see the world, a hope to be together as one, a hope to have children, a hope to eat, a hope to drink clean water, a hope to Love... Hope for hopes sake, be human, make mistakes, love and be loved, and always hope!
The Closing Thoughts:
These past months have been tough, losing my home and my job would have killed me if it had not been for Hope and some fantastic friends and my family who rallied round and got me back on my feet, here i am, 6 months later, back into video making, back into music and back into writing, three of my favorite things to do, so if you take everything but hope from a man he can still fight on, on a side note about this blog, i will be using it to chart my journey to the London expo as Bane next year, including my weight loss plan and the costume making, i hope you enjoy it guys, this has been about Hope, tell me what you think Hope means to you, i want to hear your stories! thanks guys...... i will post links to all the pages mentioned so you can check them out :)
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
