He’s also been reading a lot into world cinema, ideology, semiotics of film and digital animation.

Last week I travelled by coach to the Bradford Animation Festival for one day of it’s week-long opening, where Collossal Daniel Radcliffe stared me down on my way to the toilet. Among the short films were a colection of works students of the French media school Supinfocom. Two that really blew my eyes were Clik-Clak and Musicotherapie, both sporting amazing visual styles and fun ideas. I want you to watch them right now.
Three weeks into life at university and things are going great. Fresh ideas, fresh faces… The usual. Since we got here we’ve made the following:

During our first week I was vocally impaired, but I still managed to meet a lot of new, interesting people. One of those cool, interesting people is guitarist Elliott Morris, who we met supporting Slow Club at the Tower Bar. I’ve been trailing him around his local gigs, meeting other acoustic artists and filming his sets. Performance shooting is fun, and can be difficult. Filming with no prior planning or scouting of locations, and the fact your subject matter only happens once, adds something to the mix.
The first night of filming was a horrible disaster sound-wise but I salvaged this film of the second act, Guy Buttery, an exciting acoustic guitarist who also dabbles in sitar. The colour in this venue, The Jolly Brewer, was far nicer than the previous and the lighting was ambient.
Three days later we assembled properly, with three cameras, to film Elliott again. This is the first of two or three tracks that will come from the set.
Stay tuned for more, and check out Elliott on his MySpace.
