I’ve been experimenting with video blogging for a couple of weeks, after being turned onto it by local lad Stuart Grice. So far it’s a damn sight easier than writing a real blog, that’s for sure.
Anyway, Stu issued a challenge, to talk about our perception of time in 60 seconds. So I did. Quite like the way it turned out as it happened, even if it is a bit maudlin.
Sometimes in our industry, our professionalism, we get [put into] silos…it should be all of our goals to break out of those silos. The more you work, the more people want to put you in a silo so they can define who you are by their terms. Our job is to never let anyone define who we are…

I’d also add:
Sometimes we put ourselves into silos - Not Good Enough, Not Smart Enough, Not Had Enough Experience. Breaking out of these silos is the hardest task in many ways, but it’s one worth pursuing every single day.

Justin Shreeve and Joe Ayala, two drifting photographers and videographers for Tandem of Die, recently were stuck overnight at the Dallas Fort-Worth Airport. Instead of trying to sleep on the fluorescent soaked vinyl benches, they decided to create a fun video of them playing around the empty airport while security was apparently asleep.

Beautiful, clever and moving.
A beautiful, sad video for Because the Origami by 8in8 (Video by Ben Jacobson).
Ben explains:
This song was written and recorded by 8in8 one night a couple of weeks ago - music.amandapalmer.net/album/nighty-night - Written by Neil Gaiman, Performed by Ben Folds and Amanda Palmer.
They released it under a CC license in the hope that people would make videos for the tracks. We loved this song so much that we were inspired to make this fan video - it just took a while getting the correct props together. Hope you enjoy it - we had so much fun making it.
One for the musos.
The power of photography.
This is amazing; watch it. (via Chase Jarvis).
Tim Minchin’s nine-minute beat poem “Storm” is now an animated short.
This makes me very, very happy indeed.
