The Secret Agent




'The Secret Agent' 579KB 40 secs silent

Mobile phone Lumière

The TV show is the BBC spy potboiler Spooks -
appalling & enthralling in just about equal measure.

There's an animated GIF + sound piece made
from the same batch of material, here:

House of Cards Counting Sheep Remix




'House of Cards Counting Sheep Remix' 54.4MB 2:25 min

I made this a couple of months back when Radiohead
released some of the data & code used
in their 'House of Cards' video & invited remixes.
First off I messed around rather blindly in Processing
then did the rest in Director & Premiere.
As for sound, I took the little clip they made available,
slowed it down, looped it & added oboe, strings & some
voices from Numbers Stations.
The sheep are lifted from HOC's technical director,
Processing whiz Aaron Koblin's, piece 'The Sheep Market',
which I thoroughly recommend.

Here's the version I posted on YouTube

In the Spring of 2003 I started making tiny QuickTime movies, as a kind of moving image dream diary.
This quickly became a major focus of my work & I have made at least two or three every month since.
In 2006 I arranged them in their current, semi-chronological, format (everything from April 2003 - Dec 2005 appears in the first four months of 2006).
All the movies, new & old, still live in the same folder & can be accessed from there too.
You may freely download & remix any of them, though I would appreciate a credit.
Where credits are due to others for material I have appropriated or remixed, or for
performances, I will include a note with the posts here.
All music, except where otherwise stated, is by me.
I hope you like the movies, though of course I will continue to make & post them whether you do or not (but my thanks for looking!).
If you're interested enough you can read more about them here, here & here.
