A short film revisited!

As my project seems to be heading toward ‘multimedia’ I thought I would repost this film I made a while back. I happened upon it whilst trawling through ill-named folders in search of that elusive image file with only digits for a title. I had a semi professional 8mm camera given to me and  although it had a host of features, it was just too big. I put one reel of film through it not knowing what to expect, or even if the thing functioned, this is the result. I would like to make another on a lesser, more simplified camera but like so many things, it comes down to time and money.

A great photo film courtesy of The Guardian

A friend of mine just emailed me this link to The Guardian’s photo film about Herne Hill and the Olympics. It is especially interesting to me as I am looking at photo films as part of my research into imagery and truth. Anyway, research aside, I do think this is a positive take on both the Olympics and Cycling and I hope that it reaches the wider audience.
