Reknowned photographer Joe McNally ascends to the very top of the tallest man-made structure in the world… to say he’s been and to take some portraits while he’s there. Why just take a photo of the view when you can tell a story of the people that work there?
Jo commented that the video I shot under windy conditions on Iona was remarkably steady. I did my best to hold the camera as steady as I could whilst filming, but the wind got the better of me and so the original film sequence is quite wobbly. The final version on YouTube, linked in this…
My friends Yannick and Lea made another film last summer of an extended journey around the Jura mountains, on the northern edge of Switzerland and into France. It’s quite delightful and rounded off wonderfully by the music they’ve used, which they composed and produced themselves. I am envious of their talent, it must be said.
Photographer Nick Turpin straps a camera to his motorbike and shows just how hair-raising a drive through London can be.
Talking of objects of desire… how about your own private “octocopter” for filming and for aerial photography? (This sequence filmed by facebook.com/FSAviationGmbh.)
The dry toboggan run at Pradaschier, in the southern Swiss alps, is touted as being the longest in Europe.
Photographer Nadav Kander talks about his portraiture in this 13 minute film.
One of my favourite pieces of non-fiction film: an eight and a half minute sequence filmed by Claude Lelouch on the streets of Paris in 1976.
Pro photographer Zack Arias is thrown down the challenge of taking street portraits using nothing but a point-and-shoot camera and an optically-triggered second flash gun. Zack’s ebullient approach and the results we see towards the end of the film show that photography isn’t about using really expensive equipment.
I’ve seen many miniaturized time-lapse films over the past couple of years, but this is far and away my favourite thus far. By Keith Loutit (of course) and Jarbas Agnelli. Make sure you watch it all the way to the end.
A timelapse sequence taken around close of service at the ferry port on the south coast of England, the night before we left for the continent and home.
The Fire Festival in Signau, a small area in the Emmental valley, is a Swiss folk and artistic festival; a smaller equivalent of Burning Man in the U.S. My friend and independent filmmaker Yannick de Zordo – who plays bass guitar for Choo Choo and who produced the great video for their song “We Go”…
An eight and a half minute film of the journey up to the Piz Gloria restaurant on the Schilthorn.
A video shot using my D7000 on a dry toboggan run, hand-held , whilst I was clinging on to the brake with the other hand.
Friends Choo Choo release their next music video, conceived and filmed by their bass player Yan.
