Starter for 6 2013

Larissa has just completed the Starter for 6 Main Programme 2013, run by the Cultural Enterprise Office. Part of Team Pikapeek, they are researching ways in which online film broadcasting can become more sustainable, making it easier for filmmakers to fund new work, grow their audience and offer a better audience experience.

Starter for 6 has been a fantastic learning experience, offering tools, contacts and new approaches that will be invaluable on future projects.

New Exhibition

I currently have my first ever video installation piece on show at the Southblock Gallery in the Merchant City in Glasgow, as part of the Pedestal Exhibition. Working with performance artist Dana McPherson, we have created a film on the theme of "The Abyss of Transistion".

Filmed and edited by myself, it is a 3min long loop about indigenous beliefs in spirits such as those of forest. We will be submitting the film to festivals.

Revamped

So, as you can see, blog is revamped with separate pages to make everything easier to view. New video work up in the form of the long awaited Benjamin Bluehands video for Adam Stearns and the Glass Animals. Great single and was a fantastic project to work on. They are still selling their 7" of this track and Tender Roots, so go get a copy. Info here https://www.facebook.com/adamstearnsandtheglassanimals

It definitely feels like the end of the summer now that Doune the Rabbit Hole is over. We had a great weekend at Duncarron where I did a photo exhibition in conjunction with The Lighthouse Camera Obscura http://thelighthousecameraobscura.blogspot.co.uk/

Had such a fun time VJing for Orchestra of the Sphere's who were headlining the Baino stage on Sunday night. They're an incredible band, and during the performance we had a Dragon dancing through the crowd, so to accompany I did a mix of space footage, dinosaurs, birds, tribal dancers and other assorted frivolities. If you haven't been to Doune the Rabbit Hole yet, I can't recommend it enough. This is a great review of the weekend http://www.squeamishbikini.com/4/post/2012/09/the-good-the-bad-and-the-muddy.html

Also filmed The Brotherhood of the Blueship for a little live promo that we are cutting together, so keep an eye out for that in the coming months.

Lots of developing music documentary work in the pipeline. Things are starting to get pretty exciting...
