New test

audio separate from video (just pasted together) next time I will record A/V simultaneously and allow one to effect the other

the goal for this test was to give a feeling of movement through the picture plane in to the distance as most of my work feels quite flat

Swindon Viewpoint

I have often been jealous of the fact that in America (and many other countries) public access television exists and produces weird and interesting content while Britain has a very closed network

However I recently discovered this was not always the case by stumbling on to Swindon Viewpoint's Vimeo they were one of the first and longest running local services and still produce content to this day

The Martian Report

"In 1976, Jim Neidhardt put one of the first Sony Portapaks in a backpack and used a telephoto lens. Equipped with a radiomike, Howard Rheingold roamed the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area, posing as Howard K. Martian, extraterrestrial anthropologist."

Collab With Lucy

Did some visuals with Lucy for Lucky PDF TV at BYOB London the other week. It was a really fast collaboration we did it all sending stuff back and forth on line. We both made short clips and then sent them to each other to manipulate further. I worked with hardware and she worked with software.

The results are pretty quick and messy but sometimes its nice to work fast!
