I’m in my second year as a photographer for the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and I got home barely four hours ago from shooting at the Trailblazers party at the Hudson. Its now 6am and I’m up early preparing for todays Super 8 workshop and performance.
The projectors are primed, the bleach is thick and we’re gonna make some crazy hand-manipulated loops to entertain the delegates and invited guests. My good fiend Matt Kemp is up from Lodon to assist and lend his Super 8-geek knowhow and Dj skills to play along to our performance. I’ve yet to meet the participants, but I’m sure we’ll all be buddies by the end of the day.
I’ll put up images and maybe some video tomorrow, as long as everything goes to plan and the reels of film don’t combust and our work goes up in a ball of flames.
Actually, that would be pretty cool projected onto the wall…
If you’re coming along to the performance at the Delegate centre on Bread Street, please note that we’ll be starting slightly later at 7.30pm until 9pm.
Thats all for now, I have to pack up the equipment and down a vat of coffee.

Hey Steve,
Just to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop yesterday! Definitely want to do some more hand-manipulated Super 8mm films… or possibly even 16mm…
Many thanks! Was a great workshop! Hopefully see you soon,

Hey Kim!
It was my pleasure! We filmed some of the performance and everything looked pretty damn amazing. Despite planning this for the last couple of months, It took on a life of its own and turned out even better than I imaged.
Thats down to you lot. Really nice work….

Hi Steve,
As a HUGE fan of yours, I was wondering when will you be filming in the great city of Liverpool? There’s loads of Super Lambanana’s that could inspire your creative juices. Have you ever been to Liverpool?

Hello Piggy,
You seem familiar… Have we met?
As you may or may not know, I’ll be in Liverpool at the end of the month so i may or may not see you then…
We may or may not go out and shoot some Lambananas if you’re up for it?
Your pal, Finger.
