If the movie ( see below) makes you feel dizzy then just imagine what it did to the poor cameraman.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao November 5, 2004
Posted by Andy Roberts in : hi res photos, movie clips, Art, London , 2commentsThe Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is simply stunning. Few exhibits can compete with the architecture and last week one whole floor was closed for a changover anyway.
Outside, Louise Bourgouise’s giant spider ( “Maman” ) looks great against the background of the pedestrian area alonside the river. Last time I saw it here I thought it must have been on its travels from the Tate Modern but then it reappeared in London ( as witnessed by the jellyART Club outing last summer ) and it’s still in Bilbao so I conclude there may have been more than one sculpture cast from the same moulds, although I can’t be sure of this.

Elantxobe November 4, 2004
Posted by Andy Roberts in : hi res photos, transport, movie clips , 4commentsElantxobe is an unspoilt small fishing village on the Basque coast not far from Bilbo, which Igor recommended to me via international ginatxt. It was incredibly quiet at the time, really like a ghost town, perhaps because of the time of day and time of year, but it is certainly photogenic in a postcard sort of way.
Sitting in the only restaurant open, I’d been staring at a roundabout with BUS written on it, but it only dawned on me that it was in fact a BUS TURNTABLE when I saw it in action. Luckily I was just fast enough to capture the last bit of movement on camera, so this entry can add nicely to my collection of sad bus spotter blogs

This was shot at the same time as the stills in the previous entry, I’m interested in the comparison. Does the low quality movie - with movement and sound - add anything of value to the sequence of high quality stills?
No Internet October 8, 2004
Posted by Andy Roberts in : soundvideo, movie clips, learning, internet , 1 comment so farDays of no internet access can be interesting and productive. I tried something today which I’d known about for years but never had the opportunity to try out - using Flash with movie files. I remember getting excited about the potential of this when Flash MX first came out in 2001 but it remained just that - potential. The exciting idea is that once imported into the Flash library, a film clip becomes an object just like any other type of object - graphic, text, Flash movie , which can then be animated on the stage and manipulated along the timeline. Mindblowing isn’t it? Embedding a film clip within a Flash movie may have efficiency benefits as well, it’s another option in the sometimes tortuous route from camera to web page.
So all I did as an initial experiment was to import the Hampton Court Maze movie ( you can see the original properly on the CuttySnark blog ) and place several copies of it on the stage at different sizes, offset a little along the timeline. It worked straight away, just like that, and I found the split-screen view effective so here it is.
