Lumiere: From the Scaffold

Click to Play

We’re having our loft turned into a bedroom. Our house is enmeshed with scaffolding. I have mild intermittend Vertigo. Sometimes I totally freak out at heights. But it was too beautiful an evening to resist climbing the extremely wobbly ladder.

This video has no sound. It’s a Lumiere Rules video.

The rules are as follows. They mimic the conditions under which the Lumiere brothers made their movies in the late 1800s:

60 seconds max.
Fixed camera
No audio
No zoom
No edit
No effects

Lumiere: Amy makes a video

Click to Play

The only thing she loves more than watching herself in my videos (“again! AGAIN!”) is holding my phone and looking at herself on the screen, thru the little low-res camera next to the screen.

The camera was glitching, which produces quite a nice effect. There’s no sound because this is a Lumiere.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times you say that, people still say “Oh! I can’t hear anything.”

Just goes to show how pointless it is to write text on a videoblog. Why am I even writing this? You’re not reading it. I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die.

I’m loving the Lumieres that are being made all over the world. Hundreds of them. To browse them, visit http://videoblogging.info/lumiere/

No Soup For You!

Oh, Jesus. Now Kate and my friend Lucy are telling me that it seems like I’m some kind of monster who’s forcing Amy to recite this. It was actually that she said it spontaneously and then I pounced on her with my camera and then posted this video of my half naked daughter being coached to recite a stupid Seinfeld line. Which isn’t much better, I know. But now that people have commented, I can’t take it down. So you can see just what sort of father I am and make your own judgements… 😉

I just read it on Twitter and laughed and said it…

If you don’t know what this is about, see the Wikipedia entry on Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi episode.

Borders at The Witching Hour – Harry Potter 7

My battery ran out a few seconds too soon, and then I forgot to post when I got back home last night. I’d had a little drink. Wish it had been posted straightaway, but I hope it’s a moment worth posting anyway. People are strange.

“I’m the Dude. So that’s what you call me.”

“…you know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino – if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”

This was the second throw of the night tonight, and the only one I filmed. I thought that trying to roll and shoot at the same time would be sure to fuck it all up to comic effect…

Mad As Hell (6 minute rant)

It’s a while since i had a good heretical rant on camera.

RAAAAAAAAAAAA

Since I became a freelance, I’ve spent the whole time feeling I should be working harder, and worrying that I’m not making enough money. Enough already.

Vanity note: My hair’s not greasy, I’d had a shower and it was raining.

Also today (when I was feeling a little calmer) I set up a video comments vlog – see link at top.
