I became frustrated that I couldn’t watch the view as I was driving, and had to actually concentrate on driving; I setup the camera so I could watch it later.
I’m not sure that it belongs on the internet- perhaps it should be a projection, running in the background that can be dipped into and out of, but for know it lives here.
This is some footage I made with Jamie when we were in Spain- we sat around talking about art, design, cars, bikes etc for a couple of hours, I filmed a lot, and it has been a huge pain to edit, hence why I haven’t made a film for (over) two weeks.
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.
