4. Making the time
2 years ago
I shot these clips this afternoon and edited them into this short piece this evening. As the film developed I felt the wind turbine started to feel like a giant clock overseeing time as peoples lives happened around it.
As a lot of the clips were of people going about there lives in various situations the film began to be about making the time to do the things we love as it does not stop and wait for us.
I really enjoy making these short emotive films in a single day, I guess it's more like painting or photography than traditional film making as my creations happen so quickly, but that's one of the ways I make the most of my time, and I love doing it.
The footage was shot at Castle Acre and Swaffham, both in North Norfolk, UK.
Camera: Sony PMW-EX1
Music: Biffy Clyro // Diary of Always
Edit: FCP & Magic Bullet

I'm sure a lot of the direction is driven by how I'm feeling at the time and of course the emotions that come from watching the things I capture and listening to any music that I work to.
Hope this helps
All shot with just the stock lens, overcranking was done on camera (720p/25 oc'd to 60). No optical flow used at all, and yes it was edited using the XDCAM codec.

When there are people in the shot, did you ask for them to be in it, or did you just capture, and then explain later?
I'll quite often set the shot and then look away from the camera so that people feel less self conscious.
It's quite rare for people to ask why I'm filming, and when they do they normally ask if they are going to be on the telly.
