Film a week number 9. Jamie was sick of the arty stuff in my film-a-weeks and told me I needed some more ‘punk’- so this is my attempt at a less refined ‘punk’ aesthetic, also due to the fact that i edited it in no more than 10 minutes.
Some friends of mine in France dig this trail and kindly gave me the key yesterday to go ride- while everyone else was either nursing hangovers or injuries I had a nice little session in the woods by myself followed by a swim in the river. I decided to do some solo filming, with a prettyshady inspired gaffer-tape-helmet-cam.
To keep myself entertained I am making a film a week (I have been keeping them secret, but I realise it’s important to show people stuff no matter how bad). I’m not sure how long it will last yet i’d love a year (- 52 films!). It’s nothing heavy- just an experiment to teach myself film making- first i’m trying editing to music- I’ve never done it before. So far they have relied on what I happened to be doing that weekend, but I am starting to plan them more now. Next I have a few ideas to work with some guys out here (about stuff rather than just pretty landscapes!)
This is number two: (i don’t like number one enough to post yet) – it is from two weeks ago.
I have found a new hero today. I have been wanting to make a pannier-rack with a bmx attachment to the back of my Surly and start a tour for a while now. This guy provides some pretty good inspiration to get going!
I have been working on these for a while to keep me ticking over with making things post Goldsmiths. Anyway these are single stripe versions of the fenders I made a while ago. These are made from beech with walnut stripe. If you would like a pair, let me know and I’ll get making!
I’m working on a negative pair of these too, with a beech inlay inside walnut laminate (so dark on the outside light inlay, pictures soon)
I also received the brackets, from laser cutting, which is exciting!
