Will Stroud & Tim Pierce

I just found Will Stroud's showreel of his work & realy enjoyed it.



& Tim Pierce's 2009 showreel, which is very diverse.

Canon 1D MKIV

This video is pretty groundbreaking stuff for Digital video & the power harnessed in new DSLR's

Shot at 1080p & at iso settings between 3200 & 6400 only using available light & no artificial lights being used this is pretty amazing. All filmed using the new Canon 1D MKIV.

Haven't posted much in a while, been busy busy with making things.

Having a rather surreal day today, depriving myself of sleep so i can get my patterns right again only to go ruin them on friday night working from 10pm till 3am.

I went & sat at my usual spot today with the Dog, we go & sit there pretty much everyday & i don't leave until ive seen something interesting, i left immediately the other day seen as 2 people had just finished having sex in a bush nearby, saw a pretty rad plane fly over, saw the 3 deer at sunset one night jumping through the fields & then again the next morning in the mist, its my favorite place to just sit & relax.

Also this message from someone reassured me as to how open minded i am about music.

'Any friend of Biffy Clyro, Paul Oakenfold, The Strokes, and Venetian Snares is a friend of mine. Good taste! Cheers'
