I thought I'd better get cracking with this blog as it's laid empty for quite some time.
The idea of this blog is to record and share any progress with my filmmaking.
My first film can be found here: http://www.vimeo.com/11866353
the film is called 'Resurfacing' and takes the form of a meditation/trance film, meant to be watched with a clear, thoughtless mind. The film's structure is important, as the mood builds from a blank screen up to a very messy, very complex and colourful texture, reinforced by the building sounds, and then falling back into a similar shot from the beginning, giving the film its cyclical form.
The sounds for this experimentation were recorded with the aid of Miles Bowe, whose blog can be found here: http://milesoutinthefield.blogspot.com
The sounds were recorded using a hydrophone to acheive a surreal underwater sound. The sound that least sounds like water - a clicking/chirping type sound over the red/black image was recorded under a small stream, but was slowed down to the point that it no longer sounded like running water.
Inspirations for this film came from many experimental filmmakers, especially Len Lye and Stan Brakhage.
After the film was made I was annoyed when I found this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL8LI-h2WFc I think they're spying on me.
