Had a good chat with a poet friend of mine, I’ve decided to have a go at writing some poetry myself, something that I haven’t done for years. I’ve been inspired by reading poetry for my latest video project where I’m putting some verse to film.
I’m working on my latest video project where I’m going to adapt various poems by creating short features. I’ve been reading a wide range of poems to get a feel for what I’m after and I’ve been discovering some old favourites from a while back. It’s a very interesting and creative process.
I’ll post up more on this website when I have worked on my ideas and start the story boards, I also need a working title…
There is a long tradition of poetry being set to film and for my next video art project I’m developing a series of short films to illustrate poems. This is an idea that I’ve been wanting to do for some time and I’m very pleased to be making a start on this!
Here is a poetry video that I created for my Alberic’s Scrapbook video installation – enjoy!

Reaonsto… Setup
The Sequenced Artists setup the Re-Sequenced show at the Reasonsto… conference in the Corn Exchange earlier today. I completed my video installation which is the full length version of Alberic’s Scrapbook.
I also have a very edited version which will be running on the show reel screen, hope to see you there if your going.

Alex Paints with Light
See Alex May‘s installation for the Brighton Digital Festival where he removes the first veil of “Brighton Remixed”. Alex uses his video mapping software to paint with light at The New Sublime in Middle Street, Brighton.
The piece is made from found objects and is digitally augmented with multiple layers of video filmed in Brighton over several years. It’s good stuff! The space is open every day from 11am-5pm during the festival, read more on the BDF2013 website.
Work progesses on a very very shortened version of Alberic’s Scrapbook, my video piece that featured in the Sequenced13 show.
This is a 2 minute version for the show reel at the Reasonto conference. The original piece is 25 minutes long so I have my work cut out!! I have a shorter version already online which features dance and water here: Alberic’s Scrapbook.
It’s going to be a challenge to compress this video further but I know that it will work… I’ll post up on here once I have the finished video.

Reasons to be Creative
A collection of artists that showed in the Sequenced13 digital art show will be showing work at Reasons to be Creative at the Corn Exchange in Brighton over 2nd to 4th September.
This is part of Brighton’s Digital Festival which celebrates all things creative in the digital world.
This is one of the feature video sequences from Alberic’s Scrapbook, I really enjoyed filming this and putting it together. Many thanks to Brian and Dennis for their part in this project, I hope that you enjoy it, I’m now inspired to create more video art from poems.
