I know you’ve seen it already.
Watch it again.
It’s amazing.
The cinematography, the music, the poetry.
This is what I want to do.

The Dark Side of The Lens

So I had a go at trying to edit my own video for once.

Took a good twenty minutes to get this together, and it was only an eight second clip.
But it’s another step along the road towards an Oscar.

It’s Shane o’Connor again, a little unlucky this time, but it’s a nice wave so I thought I’d share.
Let me know if there’s any noticeable difference in Quality for you.
And what you think of the editing. A bit heavy handed with the contrast I reckon.

By the way Issue 7 of Tonnta should be in your local shop now.

So online competition and voting are all the rage these days and Taylor Steele has decided to tick that box on his how-to-make-surf-movie to do list.

http://innersection.tv is the site that is doing that for him.

Surfers upload a 2-3 minute clip and the public narrows it down to a top 5, these surfers and their filmers get some cash to go and make a section for Taylors new movie. I missed the first contest completely, only found the site a few days before the second contest closed and now that the third contest has started I thought I’d share it with you good people.

Check it out, there’s a good mix of known and unknown surfers there and it should kill at least an hour of your time.

I’ve had the 7D a while now and I’m slowly getting used to it, I’ve tried to get some video of surfing but I still don’t have my tripod back so it’s way too shaky.

I brought the camera along to a Redneck Manifesto gig last week in Limerick. It worked grand but I really should have pushed it a bit more, just to see what it could do. Obviously all the footage isn’t from the same song so it doesn’t all sync up perfectly.

Anyway here’s some live footage I threw together to the song Smile More from the Rednecks new Album Friendship.

Nice editing.

New movie I was a little bit involved in is out soon.
I still haven’t seen the full thing, but the sessions I was at were mind blowing and knowing Mickey it’ll be nothing but jaw dropping.

How I heart Michel Gondry.

So I have been playing with a video camera for the past two weeks and managed to get some clips together.

Hopefully you like. Feedback appreciated.
