A look at 3 Legged Thing’s latest release, the Ultra Plates.
Not a message for visiting aliens, ‘Welcome to Earth’ was a programme I worked on in 2019 with one William Smith in Tanzania. What seems like an eternity ago and delays on the release due to that Covid thing, it’s finally out and available for your viewing pleasure on Disney+ - here’s what I got up to…
If you’re after a camera that can create you a simple timelapse then this box of tricks may be the camera for you. I was sent this by the kind people at Technaxx asking in exchange a review. Coming in at £149 it’s certainly a budget camera for those looking to start out or keep it simple but will it deliver?
Those of you that have been following me for a while will know that I work some long hours - I’d even go as far as saying ridiculous hours. If any of my previous bosses had turned around and asked me to put in a 24hr shift I’d have told them where to go. My problem is is that I don’t consider what I do work which gets me in all sorts of sleep deprivation issues. That, however, is the only downside as the benefits to not working for a living far outweigh the negatives, as I thrust myself into a 24hr (ish) challenge…
If you follow my stories on instagram you’ll have seen I was in Hyde Park in London filming a very special (to me) and temporary art installation. But what of it, you ask? I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about inspiration.
Apart from the odd sunrise or sunset, I normally only get one shot at capturing each timelapse I undertake whilst shooting on location. Unlike traditional filming, there's no 'cut' and start over from the director - there's often no director with me so I'm left to my own devices to get the shot in the can. This task however, was a bit more of a rare occurance. We're not talking solar eclipse rare; more of a couple of month's wait and by that time, I would have missed the transmission date anyway!
