Commute

Tuesday, 1 November, 2005 — filed under: phonecam / tech

I’ve made another short film: Commute.

Filmed entirely using my Sony Ericsson K700i cameraphone (hence the fuzz-0-vision), I shot this over several weeks of commuting – duh – into Leeds, a journey which usually involved a prolonged series of buses, trains and walking. It gave me something to do.

Commute is the second of three films that I originally planned to release before the summer, of which Landscape was the first. I finally got ’round to editing it together, just before my Mac died, as an exercise to familiarise myself with iMovie 5: now that Tranquility is back (and that’s a whole other story) I’ve redux‘d it into Final Cut, mainly for better control over the titles. Anyhew, there it is.

I once again turned to CC Mixter for a soundtrack, something a little more upbeat this time: Hit It by Jim Purbrick (which also uses samples from deutscheunschuld‘s track religion) weathered the long selection procedure to provide a suitable beat to cut to.

So Commute is also released under a non-commercial sampling plus Creative Commons licence. Mash away, play by the rules, and please drop me a line if you do.
