bolex 16mm cameraThese are my new eyes.

It’s a 16mm Bolex camera, a classic, before the reflex lens. It still runs.
Thanks to the wonderful people at the Visual Arts Development Awards (VADA), I get to teach myself how to shoot and develop 16mm Black and White film. bolex 16mm

The first roll is shot, and after a few hours in the basement darkroom with toxic fumes, a tonne of (quasi-calculated) guess-work, and some help from Kelly, I finally pulled some pictures out of it (and a mild sensory-deprivation buzz.) woohoo!

Turns out I don’t know how to use a manual camera very well, The focus and exposures are all over the place. I’ve been spoiled with the auto-everything of the digital world. Time to learn some things.

Angel of the West Wing

Posted in Digital Video, Music Video on September 10th, 2006
In the past couple weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hank Pine and Miss Lily Fawn on a video for Angel of the West Wing.
Beautiful song. Great people to work with too.
We’ve finished shooting, and over the next couple weeks we’ll be putting on the finishing touches, editing, compositing, and Hank will be animating parts of it.
Check out their website for upcoming shows, they’re sooo much fun. I believe the next one is on September 22nd, at Open Space in Victoria, as part of the Antimatter Film Festival.
Stay Tuned…
