Today I saw some seagulls and I attempted to film them on my cheap digital camera that I usually take snaps with. The footage contains some really interesting digital distortion whenever the sun would come into shot so I immediately snapped it up, stretched it out, crushed it , graded it, cut it up, messed with it, duped it, fiddled with it, shook it about, zapped it, cracked it, flickered it, exported it, and uploaded it.
On a separate note, I’m trying to slowly merge all my work that I post on this blog into a more practical page, so for now I’ve set up a Vimeo Channel where you can subscribe.
I have a neighbour called Marc, he’s from Barcelona and he’s a photographer who has lived in London for most part of his adulthood. Like me he relocated to New York two months ago in the search of the new, and seems to be really getting into the swing of things here. We live two floors away from each other, so elevator trips to and from his and my place are becoming frequent, sometimes transporting goods such as sandwiches, wine and cakes to fuel our hard-working ethos.
He needed a new website, so I whipped out the old Flash and knocked this up: marcregas.com
I’ve been almost been 2 months here in New York and I’ve happened to land right in the middle of a fairly interesting group of people, all of whom work in one way or another in fashion. The most special these people is a (cute) Spanish girl called Zahara Gallardo who is a (cute) graphic designer at Menage A Trois and a part time photographer. She plays around with video from time to time and recently made this cute little fashion film for magazine VNFold, and used a track of mine as soundtrack to these dark retro/futuristic images.
Video by Zahara Gallardo!
I should state that my involvement in this was just on the music front.
Don’t call me dave
Although I spent a larger portion of my working life as a Flash Developer, I have lately developed a taste for video. This kicked off when I began making a video series called REBELRAVE for an underground techno label, and since then I have enjoyed making a variety of abstract and experimental videos.
I have also been making music since my teen years, so occasionally I may publish something I made in my spare time in between long video renders.
Flash is still something I use on a weekly basis, making websites, experiments and visuals.
