It's been so long. I'm sorry. You see, I've started full time work. It's a cold hearted bitch that stops you frequenting all your favourite things... But now I've sunk into the routine, I've found the time to write again. Finally!
So. Since my friend, Harry last posted on here, I've been working on stuff too - more vid-art to be precise. I've given into nostalgia once again and fallen in love with acid house. And even more so, the news reports on it.
"Theres a determination to, snuff out, the Acid-House craze. But that runs the risk of driving it deeper, and deeper underground."
I've decided to create a video project based on the Manchester (or, 'MADchester') Acid-House scene. Ideally, I'm aiming for a style reminiscent of primary/secondary school educational video tapes - you know, the grainy tracking, the shoddy editing, the clashing colour schemes... I wanted to make something that tells three stories at once. The raving, the policing and the fashion.
Beneath is a preview. It's still in production, and all the footage is from either old documentaries or news features.
Dubbel Dutch "Throwback"
Unfortunately, yesterday, I think my copy of Final Cut Pro realised it was dodgy. It keeps requesting a serial and denying anything I type in. The production of the video is on a stand still at the moment but it should give me some time to plan it more. To keep myself in the mood (literally and metaphorically), I've found myself listening to A LOT of music. My three faves are below.
