Deep in the vaults
Hi, I’m back at work after a 2 week stay cation. This is where the magic happens.
Colour Infrared Video Imagery
I’ve been experimenting with colour infrared video and photography for some time, photography is easier due to the IR blocking filter on my stills camera being quite weak, plus manipulating RAW images in Photoshop and Gimp using colour channel swapping is very effective. However video is another matter entirely, the IR blocking filter on my…
Graphic Plants..
After seeing the x-ray plant photos of Steven Meyers I was inspired to create a video edit that captured the same look and feel. I filmed plants in my garden using a macro lens then processed the clips with various computer generated effects to create the vivid graphic look of the video below. The clips were then…
Dancing Circles
Some time ago I was shown this video of ‘circles dancing in a rhomb’ by Gelada http://maxwelldemon.com/edmund-harriss/ http://vimeo.com/23772888 At the time it inspired me to create some interesting patterns with crochet, based around the negative space within the structures and the rhythmic dance of the circles within the shape. But it was the cellular structure…
Hortus
I’ve finally finished my live cinema show ‘Hortus’ you can read a little about it below :) Hortus explores the relationship between natural and urban environments, it takes the viewer on a journey of discovery through the presence, form and processes of vegetal nature found throughout cities but often overlooked and ignored. Urban Nature Part…

Earth, the final frontier
I’ve been doing lots of online After Effects tutorials recently as I’d like to add cgi effects to some of the footage I shot over the summer with an aim to represent natural phenomena such at photosynthesis and gravitation. Things are going well and I’m getting my head around the use of fractal noise, particles and…
The dark side..
The biology of cells has always fascinated me, I follow a few flickr groups on the subject and have been very impressed by the work of Tatcher a Hainu Flower stalk of a dalia by Tatcher a Hainu I like the way he stains his specimens and and the level of detail in his photography. However…
Hypnosis goggles workshop
I attended a workshop that set out to explore the relationship between flickering lights and perception using DIY circuit boards and LEDs. We soldered components to a board and added controllers, speaker connections and LEDs to create experimental ‘hypnosis’ goggles. This was my second attempt at soldering, the first was when I tried to fix…
