Werner Herzog





HOME

Someone mentioned this guy today and I remembered we had some films at home that I had never watched. Just watched Fata Morgana.

Manipulating Reality @ Strozzina ccc

MANIPULATING REALITY


Palazzo Strozzi



























The top of the Duomo, Florence



























































The 500 steps to the top of the Duomo was not as uncomfortable as climbing the Storr. Florence can be as uncomfortable as Skye though. The sheer volume of people I had to negotiate daily was just like fighting against the wind on Skye.....poor me.

We tried to take some inspiration for our film from 'Leading Light'

Thom's half baked bun

Cooked with a hairdryer in a chimney pot...of course.

More dough

Dough and acrylic




























Studio

For the video workshop we decided to use dough as the subject of our film. We just had to figure out what to do with it. This is dough with ink added. It reminds me a little of the Skye landscape.

Five hours on a minibus on what felt like the longest journey I have ever been on in Scotland, and this is what I find interesting...You can take the girl out of the city...
