I took the day off yesterday and went for a swim in the sea. Took my phone and an aquapac ( aquapac.net ) to try filming underwater.

background music is Twirl by Kid 606

    All things considered, that was pretty good. Though, I have to say, I did feel I was drowning at one point! And were bare nipples REALLY necessary? :)
  • Andy Galletly plus 1 year ago
    hehe, absolutely necessary..

    I'd like to hear this without the music. The sound of the water and the mic pops is pretty awesome.
  • Andy Galletly plus 1 year ago
    thanks bryan, there were some good noises in there, but i fealt it was a bit dull without music...
  • Bryan Teoh plus 1 year ago
    I'd totally accept an mp3 of just the sounds from that video if you felt like sending one :)
  • Andy Galletly plus 1 year ago
    actually that's no too tricky...
    quick export from iMovie..

    pretty brave andy!really nice looking footage. did you treat it or is that raw? think i remeber seeing you had an n95 last time you were down?
  • Andy Galletly plus 1 year ago
    I've tweaked the contrast very slightly, but not much.
    yea, 'twas the n95
    It was such a nice sunny day, i think that really helped the image quality..

    i know it's not really intentional, but i kind of like the lo-fi water "effects" through the aquapac, it makes the footage look surreal, and maybe also because you're bobbing up and in the water, so the camera is always somewhat mid-afloat.

    and i wish kid606 still made tracks like these (does he?). this is a mille-plateaux era sound.

    nice :)
  • Andy Galletly plus 1 year ago
    yea, the phone in aquapac seems to naturally float just under the surface..
    I'd like to know what sort of stuff kid606 is doing now too, I always get him a bit mixed up with squarepusher

    glad you enjoyed the lil film :)

    Enjoyed that Andy. Interesting buildings on the shore. Probably being thick but where is that?
  • Andy Galletly plus 7 months ago
    Cool, glad you enjoyed it :)
    It's Brighton (UK)

    Should have realized that but I didn't recognize it at all. Perhaps that's because the only time I went swimming in Brighton was after dinner one night, fully clothed!
