The Dark Side of the Earth: February 24th, 2008

I’ve started another videomatic. If nothing else, eventually I’ll have the whole movie shot with cereal-box-and-toilet-roll-tube models and I can pass it off at festivals as a Michael Gondry film.
With the help of my girlfriend Katie I built a new Moravian and a new Fixer (deposing the Jif lemon which served so faithfully in the past) plus a forced perspective igloo. Ah, the classic way to spend a Saturday night – watching the commentary on Alien whilst making a forced perspective igloo. We’ve all done it.
Anyway, I’m only halfway through all the shots for this particular sequence, so I’d better get on with it.
