Some notes in shooting

Concrete

I went to Greenwich Park for shooting. When I set up everything and started with my first shot, a car soon approached. Two men were in the car, and one of them stopped me. I was asked to apply for a permission to shoot in this park. After asking for relevant information, I quitted. It costs 50 pounds for a student plus a daily rate (oh my god).

Another day, I went to another place for shooting and was stopped by a security guard again. Fortunately, I was allowed to shoot after explaining my purpose. Therefore, I finally finished drawing on a concrete surface.

Plastic Chopping Board

At the very beginning, I had no idea how to deal with the water. It just returned to original position and did not change as I wanted it to as if it’d a consciousness. However, after editing the footage I realised that it was alive. I fully appreciated the result.

Jeans

I put two camcorders (thank Noi for another one) on the end of each side. I like the result.

Drop

I utilised Interval Record to film a daytime to night time scene which was reflected by a drop of water. I found it was boring because I waited for nearly 5 hours in Regent’s Park.

Human Body

A big thank to naked Palm-palm (my slave) who provided his big belly and hairy leg.

The Sea

I filmed the sea in Brighton. I was surprised that the beach wasn’t sand but stone (luckily I found a cute stone for my installation). It was a really windy day so I nearly took off…
