I just watched three videos by Jen Proctor, Cheryl Colan and David Howell, and realised that I should really stop worrying about finding time to cut all this stuff I ve been shooting. Nothing is too small. Moments are MacGuffins. Formats available:MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv)

Or if that doesn t work, click here This is my first post for Semanal Post one video every week in 2008. That s all you have to do. Five days after it was announced, there are already 80 people signed up! Hopefully more will join throughout the year. (It s about the weekliness, and shouldn t be limited by whether people found out about it in its first seven days). And this weekend in Brighton, Beth Tilston has organised a screening of films from Navlopomo - our month of videoblogging every day in November. Ryanne and Jay are visiting from America, and they ll be joining us. See more details about the screening here. Semanal is continuing the spirit of Navlopomo, with a long-distance challenge instead of a 30 day sprint. I expect that the cool things about Navlopomo will develop much further - the sense of community, the inspiration and the way that people replied to, referenced and remixed each other in their films. And we ll meet a whole load of new people from around the world. Viva Semanal! Formats available: iPod/iPhone (.m4v), Flash Video (.flv), Windows Media (.wmv)

Navlopomo Day 18. I ve been telling people a lot recently about how intimately I feel I ve got to know other videobloggers through their work. Today I ve been getting to know you all *very* intimately. This is me getting up close and personal with Gogen s great post from yesterday. Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv)

I handed the camera to Kate today. We were in Burnham Beeches, just outside London (map/satphoto). The colours are incredible this year. Another thing I ll miss in evergreen Vancouver Island. I was trying to persuade her to sing her song The Falling of the Leaves (a Yeats poem she set to music - you can hear it on her Myspace page) so that I could use it as a soundtrack for the other moments I shot all around the woods. But this is better. I think I m going to give her the camera more often. Alternative file types: Quicktime / Flash ( if player above doesn t work)

Just some moments from a trip down the river yesterday. It s a funny thing - I probably wouldn t post this if it weren t for NaVloPoMo. Because it s aspiring to be something it s not. I wanted to do NaVloPoMo because I thought it d make me feel more comfortable posting just *anything* without judging it too much. I wonder whether it s having the opposite effect. Seeing all the amazing things other people are posting has made me dissatisfied with the kind of stuff I m doing with this phone. It s made me realise that I ve been getting increasingly frustrated with my mobile phone s aesthetic limitations. It shoots good *resolution* for a phone but I don t really like the colours, the contrast, the *character* of the video it makes. So while it s great for capturing personal human moments and posting them in the moment, without frills, it s not so good for taking moving snapshots of *things* that I see and want to photograph. The images just look flat, and dull. I know that making things on my phone has got me making things and posting more often, which is great. And the aesthetic limitation has stopped me getting too hung up about what I make, which is also great. But in NaVloPoMo I wanted to post a whole load of different types of films up, and some of them just won t work with this phone. I want to start playing with a proper camera again. And the truth is, I haven t got time to. It s already causing tension at home, the amount of time I m spending at my computer for NaVloPoMo - and all I ve posted are simple single-shot nothingy little snapshots. The time spent cutting the San Francisco film last week and this film today are just *too much*. So I guess I m stuck with my phone and its boring image quality. And that s what I ve got to work with this month. That s my challenge. Fight the aspirational demons that tell me that you re all making more interesting videos than me. Fuck it. Just post stuff. And talk. Create and connect. Kill the artist. And yeah, yeah, I know a bad workman blames his tools File types: Quicktime I Flash

(Lumiere films have no sound, are 60 seconds or less, have a fixed camera position - see http://videoblogging.info/lumiere for more information) This was shot and cut on my Nokia N93 phone. Not bad, for a phone. I hate London. I’m in Devon, staying at my father-in-law’s house on the River Dart. This is a Lumiere that I shot when I was out in a boat with him earlier this evening. This is him, rowing. I d love to share with you the sound of the oar, the boat and the water, but you ll have to imagine it. Apart from anything else, what he was saying is unbroadcastable. Earlier in the day, we went to Dartmouth on the ferry. I shot 120 clips, and cut them together as a little moving slideshow. But then I forgot my own rules, and cut them in Final Cut Pro instead of something quick easy like my phone or Quicktime. It didn t improve the quality of the finished product at all, I don t think - and I forgot to compress it before I went out for a drunken dinner. So now here I am at 11.45, with the video still stuck compressing and my Day 3 deadline unachievable. So it s lucky I shot this Lumiere. In some ways, I prefer it to the video I was going to post. I ll post the Dartmouth trip video as soon as it s done - which will be after midnight - and so maybe I ll even end up posting 2 videos tomorrow. Or maybe not. There s no need to show off, is there? As I finish writing this, it s 23:58 and the video is just about to finish uploading at Blip. Jesus. 23:59. Copied and pasted. Here we go.

Faster Loading Flash Version Better Quality Quicktime Version More inconsequential nonsense, no ranting or babies today. Just stood on a spot in posh s interesting what you notice, if you stop in one place and zoom in and out with your camera or your brain. My phone is helping me to see things in the world around me that I ve taken for granted and blanked out. Today has been a day for noticing how much things have changed since I ve been alive. Not just non-smoking pubs, coffee bars and CCTV - I was flicking through Microserfs and thinking about how futuristic the email and geek lifestyle seemed in 1995, and how real it is now. And then I came downstairs and found this post from Gogen, about his memories of the 1980s. I said everything else I ve got to say about that in my comment there. In other weird news, the last film I did like this one, Everybody s Gotta Learn Sometime, might be screened in San Francisco tonight in the NewTeeVee Metacafe Pier Screenings after some of you were nice enough to give it a handful of 5 star ratings. I find this idea almost erotically exciting. Partly because I always associate San Francisco with The Conversation, and so I ve always secretly wished I could live there. I ve been to see how things have changed in San Francisco since The Conversation (1974), actually - and visited lots of locations - even stayed in the hotel room at the end. I ll have to post some of that video sometime. Formats available: Quicktime (.mov)

We re having our loft turned into a bedroom. Our house is enmeshed with scaffolding. I have mild intermittend Vertigo. Sometimes I totally freak out at heights. But it was too beautiful an evening to resist climbing the extremely wobbly ladder. This video has no sound. It s a Lumiere Rules video. The rules are as follows. They mimic the conditions under which the Lumiere brothers made their movies in the late 1800s: 60 seconds max. Fixed camera No audio No zoom No edit No effects To browse more Lumieres by other people, visit http://videoblogging.info/lumiere/ Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4)

The only thing she loves more than watching herself in my videos ( again! AGAIN! ) is holding my phone and looking at herself on the screen, thru the little low-res camera next to the screen. The camera was glitching, which produces quite a nice effect. There s no sound because this is a Lumiere. It doesn t seem to matter how many times you say that, people still say Oh! I can t hear anything. Just goes to show how pointless it is to write text on a videoblog. Why am I even writing this? You re not reading it. I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die. I m loving the Lumieres that are being made all over the world. Hundreds of them. To browse them, visit http://videoblogging.info/lumiere/ The rules are as follows.

My battery ran out a few seconds too soon, and then I forgot to post when I got back home last night. I d had a little drink. Wish it had been posted straightaway, but I hope it s a moment worth posting anyway. People are strange. Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4)

This was the second throw of the night tonight. I thought I d share it with you, as trying to roll while filming would be sure to fuck it up to comic effect. And as it finished, the battery died. Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv)
