Improvised movement, holding mobile phone camera, filmed at Chisenhale Dance Space, London, during August ’09.

Mid-October

2009-12-20T18:35:00.002Z

Returning to this project after a long time period, with a substantial backlog of footage to get through. This as yet unedited sequence was filmed in Mill Road Cemetery, Cambridge, in October 2008.

Windowloop - Saanenland/North Norfolk

2008-07-27T10:43:00.002+01:00

This short looped sequence uses footage from the snowcovered tracks of the railway line into the mountains towards Gstaad, intercut with further sequences two of which were filmed on the North Norfolk steam railway line in August 2007.

Motion Grid

Experimental placing of the motion blurred material, using Flash.

Whiteout

2008-07-06T20:03:00.002+01:00

Linear version of the motion blur material, which I also plan to use in non-linear form.

Motion Quartet

Experimental formatting of four sequences filmed at different points on the journey.

Motion Sequence 2

2008-06-29T18:34:00.006+01:00

Shorter sequence of snow-covered fields, where the reduced frame rate appears almost as stop-frame animation.

Motion Sequence 1

2008-06-29T18:28:00.003+01:00

First of a series of continuous sequences, following the snowline through the tunnels and mountains to the north of Lausanne.

Snowline

2008-06-29T17:25:00.002+01:00

Series of stills again filmed from the train window as the snowline appeared on the route into the mountains above Lausanne.

Geneva/Gstaad

2008-04-13T21:39:00.000+01:00

Filmed over three hours of footage on the train journeys between Geneva Airport and Gstaad, and am in the process of editing down to find a series of pieces. These stills are from a work-in-progress dealing with very abstracted motion blur.

Glacial

2008-04-13T21:19:00.000+01:00

Series of stills, taken in March from a cable car in the mountains above Gstaad, Switzerland. I was attending Gstaadfilm, as one of my PhD pieces was screened, and the trip generated a large amount of new footage currently being worked on.

Hand Held

This blog records the development of work filmed with a mobile phone camera, and is an outgrowth from my PhD research into choreographic practice for screen. The focus of the work is movement based, and aims to explore the potential for motion-led filming practices, drawing on my own professional background in dance, without being conventionally dance oriented.
