here we got to see our moon, through a massive telescope and also Jupiter and four of it's moons too!!! incredible!
fovea hex also played at the electric picnic which was so so much fun. we were on the IMC stage on the first night which was great because the whole weekend was free from then on to do, see, go wherever and whatever we wanted!
highlights for me had to be silver apples, leila arab, my bloody valentine.. ermmm.. can't remember others now.. it was an AMAZING weekend though!

so, moving on... i decided about a week or so ago that i would try and make a little movie a day (or even just visuals of any sort really) and it's been pretty interesting. the first day i attemted it i managed to record enough footage for two little music videos, one of which i'm still editing and the other of which you can see here...
i decided to let myself off the hook as far as perfectionism goes. i just wanted to churn out as much stuff as i had ideas for without bogging myself down with trying to make everything 'perfect' which is what usually happens. that way i never get to do as much coz you make yourself stuck.
the next day i did quite a bit too, but i ended up just using all the video footage to make still frames and edit them as photo's. the third day i didn't come up with anything good.. but then the next day after that i had a lovely idea.. where i would try and recreate things to look like i was back in time or something. starting way way back. so i did some filming and i needed to put the camera sideways so i could get a length shot that would fit me in. thinking i had an option to rotate the footage in the editing stage, i went ahead and filmed the whole thing like that. but alas... it is not so.
in the end some of the stuff was quite good but i used most of it for still images because i could rotate it in film format. urghh...
but here are some examples..
tomorrow night myself and two friends are heading out to the woods, and a beach at night with a generator and a lot of various lighting stuff.. and shooting some footage there. i think it will be wonderful. i have a surprise up my sleeve which i think is going to be very exciting to work with!
also, i finally got my studio up and running again last night, so i have been drowning myself in sound all night and morning which has been oh so refreshing!
i have a week off from work so i think it's going to be a fruitful time.
that's all for now...
all the best
