So last night as I was driving home from John Macs with the fire in my belly that allowed me to produce my first blog I stumbled upon a near perfect idea for a shot, that could in turn be developed into a full video. It would possibly benefit more towards a music video (ideally something between 3-5 minutes long).
The idea came whilst driving down a deserted bypass between Cudworth and Darfield at midnight, I looked into the passenger side wing mirror after doing checks using the rear view and driver side wing mirror. The difference was that on the passenger side there were quite a few factories and warehouses and the lights of which were reflected in the clean silver of the side of my car.
It captured my attention so much that every few seconds I kept looking back into the wing mirror to admire the lights dancing off the paintwork and lo the idea was born.
Initially what I want to do is drive the route with a camera focussed directly on the wing mirror for the whole journey. Once that is done do the journey in reverse with the same shot focus, then the same double journey several times with different focal points i.e. camera focussed on the road, speedometer or even the whole of the dials the driver sees.
So now all I need to do is save up enough pennies in order to purchase myself the Sony NEX-VG10E camcorder and i'll be in business.
Although I am not adverse to receiving charity, so if any millionaire out there would like to take pity on me and give me £3000 then I would be eternally grateful.
Anyway, seeing as it is the 03/04/11, that means it is officially Mothers Day and being a dutiful son, I have my mother to spoil.
Take it easy and i'll blog you soon.
