I've been blogging for ever (blog.listingslab.com), but today I made a film instead with the intention of using it as a blog post.
Here's the post:

Vimeo's embedded videos are SO superior to youtube's in terms of
quality (especially in High Definition), but the real beauty of the
vimeo embed script is that it offers full-screen mode to my blog
readers.
This is the trailer for It's Not Who You Know. Look further for the whole film.
jIf your going to do a Jamie Oliver, You'll need to practice some cooking shots. And this is what this film is all about. Making a curry on video.
I made this film in the summer of 2004 when lived in Deptford, London. I drove a bashed up old Beemer and had a shaved head. It helped to look a bit hard to live there. In making this film I tried to capture a bit of how it felt to live in the place.
Music is from a demo CD called The Move (by the mooschool) made by Nick and Mike Maroussas, some old school friends of mine. You can read more about their hip-hop career and also download and listen to more mooschool music here
Need some time lapse photography?
Time lapse photography is quite difficult to do. It's exactly like
taking a photograph and having to wait 6 hours for the shutter to go
click. Obviously a tripod is used. And a video camera which takes high definition resolution
pictures at a fixed interval. And you need to be near a plug socket
because the camera's battery will die after a few hours. So once you've
set everything up and you think the camera is pointed in the right
direction, you can forget about it for a while. But you'll wish you
adjusted the focus,white balance or just framed the damn shot better
for that entire 6 hours.
When you've finished the photography
bit & turned the camera off, you simply compile the photos together
Video usually uses a frame rate of 25 frames per second. But it doesn't
have to. 15 fps is quite fast enough and saves bandwidth. So I've got
508 images taken 1 second apart. At 15 frames per second I get about
half a minute of time lapsed shot. I could batch edit those images in photoShop to tweak colours and cropping etc, but 500 high res images take a while to crunch. So I open up an Image Sequence in Quicktime Pro (which it's well worth paying for), and then simply export the movie with the compression I want for the web. Done.
Here is some of our work from summer 2008

Mainly this is a little film about my evening BBQ which showcases the time lapse photography I've been working on while I've been living up here in the Vaugdange.

That's what my mate Corin is going to be calling his chalet with it's rented out over the winter. I've been staying there this week, taking care of his dogs while he's away and I love the place. This film is vaguely aimed at being shown on his website as an advert.
