I made a video for the song Hominid by Return To Netley Things Have Changed (onetime project of shardcore), with footage from some odd behavioural experiments with a child and a chimp that I found on archive.org.

It does not come as a surprise to me that while I was using twitter and other *social* networks, my productivity dropped to nothing. Deleting my online accounts suddenly returned the time and focus that had been consumed by irrelevancies. I’m just saying… ymmv.

I made a slightly silly video to a slightly silly song, Schnell by an extremely silly band, Kontahkt. Eurotrash was the theme and I had a lot of vintage stag movies lying about.

Women were much sexier before plastic surgery.

Set to Nino Rota’s Las Dolce Vita. This sparrow was loving this bath and, perhaps perversely, all I could think of was Gina Lollobrigida, hence Nino Rota.

Kinda boring, I know, but I was playing with exposure and focus.

Skateboarding in Brompton Cemetery (London) on the last nice day of 2009.

Incidentally, I’ve since come to dislike this song; it’s a bit adolescent, even for me, but a man mustn’t be ashamed of his mistakes.

A huge wasp flew in my window and I had my camera to hand. Set to Einstürzende Neubauten. I really like ants, wasps and bees.

Here is the same video on flickr.

I was in a peculiar mood, somewhere between nostalgia, sentimentality and furious violence.

A Medusa jellyfish in the water off Camogli, Italy. The music is From Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts. For a few minutes I felt a strong kinship to this poisonous little fellow -- he’s just trying to be left alone.

A sparrow hawk feasting on a pigeon in Kensington, London. The music is Days of the New, Cling.

It’s a bit shaky but I was carrying bags and getting rained on at the time, and was trying not to move. Compensated a little by the in camera anti-shake and then further by Final Cut Pro’s smooth cam (which turns a laptop into a convection heater for a half hour on HD footage).

Those straight-edge hard-core guys are a little uptight for ones so young, but the music is fun.
