BFC One Shot Film Challenge

I took part in this summer’s film challenge. Warning, it contains some strobing.

The Karavan Ensemble - Anima

I recently photographed the Karavan Ensemble’s intoxicating show Anima at Jackson Lane Theatre in Highgate. The fast paced action and extreme low light conditions were quite a challenge for the 5Dmk2’s rather sluggish auto-focus (I will definitely be using my 7D if I have to shoot anything similar in future) but I managed to capture some of the mood of the piece by tweaking the settings and using manual focus a bit.

Aristaeus

IMG_1746

Over the last few years many people will have heard me say that I will ‘soon’ be filming a self-penned short film in Latvia. Various things have caused it to be delayed but I am happy to be able to say that the flights have been booked shooting will begin on August 18th. It will be an experimental, visually driven piece exploring themes of memory and personal mythology containing both live-action and stop-motion elements. My fingers are crossed that the summer weather in Latvia will be better than the UK!
