It’s been a long gap since my last post, though nothing like the 99 years between Supernova2016 and the poet Edward Thomas… A video of mine will be shown as part of Denver Digerati‘s Supernova Festival on the 24th September. It will premiere there and go online at about the same time. It is another […]
Farewell old tech
Does anyone else get a tinge of sadness when old tech goes? Today I ordered a set of components to replace the core of the computer – motherboard, cpu and memory. I can’t see them inside the box, but those old parts made things and built my achievements. They made me money in my business […]
Floyrillen
47 years ago, I was making lunar landscapes from polyfilla and coal dust. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was still a few years away, as was my musical taste. But I was living through the space race, and the moon landings were better to think about than the other uses of rockets during […]
Exhibition News
I have a couple of new exhibitions. I don’t do exhibitions very often. I’ve never been an ‘art’ photographer and I’m too in love with colour to shoot black and white. I’ve photographed the naked body in rl, but it doesn’t really interest me in sl. In machinima I can work with these things to […]
Watching You
Another machinima! He’s Watching You is a more abstract video this time, combining and overlaying video and audio. He’s Watching You from Tizzy Canucci on Vimeo. The video uses material from a performance last weekend (11 June 2016) by SaveMe Oh, with music provided by Echo Starship. There was a previous performance with SaveMe Oh and […]
Movie Poster Challenge
Strawberry Singh has revived her Machinima and Movie Poster Challenge for this month. First run in 2013, you can see details and comments about folk’s lists on Strawberry’s blog. The only thing I would add to her post is that there are also a lot of machinima on Vimeo too. Readers of this blog will […]
Running to Blue Jazz
Creativity goes through phases and at the moment mine is very much around video and the blog is being a bit neglected. Video content is becoming increasingly in marketing, so there’s a bit of a connection with real life and it’s also partly a question of time. And it’s also about the flow of ideas, […]
Farewell to Furillen
Furillen was unusual – it sprang up and disappeared in a very short time. There was no fanfare for closure, and no time for a reprieve. And that was right. Gertrude Jekyll, the great garden designer of the early 20th century, never wanted her gardens preserved. Without the gardener, the garden ceased to be a […]
Comic Art Festival video released
Well today I’m plugging someone else project! The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is being held for the fourth year in Kendal, a market town in the north west of England. It attracts comic art illustrators and writers from around the world to run workshops The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is being held for […]
Meet me at Molly’s
A month has slipped by since my last blog post. I’ve been busy in rl, with interviews (fruitless – finding the hole in someone’s project is a good way to avoid trouble later but not a good way to get offered the job), helping my daughter move flats (200 miles from where I live), and […]
