  • Weather and Video

    Just a quick word on the conditions we are having this summer on the south coast of England. The hot summer is producing some very interesting light for video. We have experienced bright sun and very warm conditions to dark moody clouds with lightening storms. If you haven’t been out with your camera yet now…

  • Adlestrop

    I heard this poem on the radio this morning, it was written at the same time of year and as I write the summer sun is streaming through the window: Adlestrop by Edward Thomas It really evokes the scene of an unwanted train halt on a mid summer’s day. Apparently he was on his way…

  • New Poem Videos

    New Poem Videos

    I’m working on the story boards for my latest video poem project, I’ve selected three further poems to create short video pieces with. They’re quite a contrast being written by Ted Hughes, Dylan Thomas and Rudyard Kipling! But its more about the mood of the individual videos and they won’t need to relate to each…

  • New Video Locations

    New Video Locations

    I’m looking at some more locations to continue my latest video project. I’ve seen some interesting locations including a large derelict factory to shoot some video in. This will be for a continuation of my series of poems to video which result in short adaptations featuring actors which depict the poem. I’m also very keen…

  • Video Edits

    Just working on one of the video pieces for the show which opens in a couple of weeks, I love working through the footage and pulling the piece together. Its also a very creative process and working with the poem voice over sound track makes me look at the footage in a different way. I’ll…

  • Raining Again

    Damn, raining again, I’ve been trying to shoot some video with a street cleaner for my latest video project. The only trouble is that its been raining in the early morning most days I can shoot. I really want early morning light for this one so hopefully we can shoot this piece and get this…

  • Audio Edits

    I’m revisiting a video piece that I created a while ago. The sound needs a re-work so I’m exporting the files from Premier to Adobe Audition to clean the sound up a bit. Sound is a commonly overlooked part of the video production process and investing in some good quality sound capturing equipment is something…

  • 10,000 Cents

    I saw this a while ago but it has stayed with me as a fantastic example of online digital art. Each participant was given an unrelated rectangle in which they would copy a fragment of the whole art work using a simple custom built paint app. They all came together to produce this: 10,000 Cents…
