Expanding

I’ve enjoyed keeping a website for some years now. It’s mainly shown photos, but recently I’ve started a new section showing films.

At the moment, the section has two films: Nod, a short I made some years ago that played at a few festivals;

and a scene from Fluid, my first feature film, which I completed last year and is currently being entered to festivals.

More soon…

More time-lapse

Editing on the film continues: I’m near the end of the second cut. I shot a number of time lapse sequences; here’s one I rejected for a number of reasons:

  • The climate wan’t too good; this was supposed to go with a late-Summer’s day… No.
  • Again, there was a slight shifting of position: very noticeable in time-lapse; the tripod has to be super-steady!
  • The time between shots was about two minutes. Pre-visualisation’s the thing: for sequences I’ve been using in the film, I’ve been shooting one image a minute. I may shoot some more with an image every 30 seconds.

Time consuming as they are, I’ve really enjoyed shooting time-lapse. In a way, they’re a symbol of the production process on this film so far: lots of little, steady steps; insignificant in themselves, but adding up to show real change. On with the second cut.

Something new

I’m making a short film about cycling. Here I am on Waterloo Bridge, videoing myriad cyclists during Ride London a few weekends ago.

There’s a couple more days of shooting, then logging, editing, post-production… Then I will shoot something else.
