Moving Snapshot: Family

My brother-in-law Jan, my sister Amanda, my nephew Vijay and their dog Finnigan. And Amy. On Long Beach in Tofino, on the wild Pacific coast of Vancouver Island. This is just what I need to watch at the moment – takes me right back there. Amazing place, amazing holiday.

They didn’t know I was filming. If you quietly set up a static frame and press record, invariably it fills with beautiful movement, purely by chance. Moving snapshots.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ I shot a lot of pictures like this, while I was away, instead of taking stills.¬¨¬®‚Äö?тĆ Inspired by Lumiere rules videos, but different – I like to keep the sound, to give whole new levels of atmosphere, and I like to be able to press start/stop whenever I want to rather than have to cut it off at 1 minute.

Lumiere: From the Scaffold

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

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.

Cheating, because the camera’s not fixed – but I can’t fix my phone, so I just held it still.

  • Fixed camera

  • No zoom
