Black Pirate
Black Pirate from Stephan Caspar on Vimeo.
The Black Pirate have a new video out. Filmed after midnight in the lonely streets of Southwark, three pirates crept into the night, set up their kit and just started playing. Despite a few interested security men (who came, saw, checked the gates and scootled off), The Black Pirate managed to do a few renditions of their theme tune. Check out the results here. Video by Giant Party.

London to Brighton
Yes, for the third time of asking, I will be heading out from London on the road to Brighton with the cycling thousands. Not too many days left, but I'm off dairy and won't have a beer until its over. The ride takes place on Sunday 21st June and my start time is 8.30am. Please sponsor me at http://www.justgiving.com/getonthebike raising money for the British Heart Foundation, a great cause - I'm sure you'll agree. I'll post up some photos, and hope to capture a little video. Thank you in advance for you kind support. You might even have noticed the widget on the side of the blog, keeping you up to date with how much I've raised.

Journey to the Mountain of Light
I'm very lucky to have found myself working with photographer Jon Snape who has embarked on a project to photograph a series of electricity pylons that thread their way through the Hampshire countryside. I'm going to be making some films for Jon's blog, which he is using as a modern sketchbook, to note ideas, show his inspiration and record his artistic process. Jon's pylon images relate to ideas about landscape and modernism, but also enjoy a range of disparate connections from ancient Egyptian history to Naval Aircraft. He's on a Journey to the Mountain of Light, and I'm joining him along the way. I'll update with some more stills and clips, and keep you informed of developments, there are some lovely ideas in the pipeline, and the project seems to have a life of its own, with Jon leading the way.

Howies film
I have been buying howies t-shirts for years now, they're fun, comfortable and quite expensive. My Cardigan connection means that I've been able to pounce on some seconds and sale items, and I've even had the occasional splurge. I really enjoy the catalogue, which has always got a few interesting things to say alongside the pictures of people looking lively and active wearing the gear. There is this slightly naisal smugness sometimes, and it would be nice to see the human side to them, I like to see imperfections me, it's reasurring. Sometimes they come across badly, indulgent and aloof, but every now and then they do something like this photo project and you think good on ya. Bit sad, as I lost my nice Howies woolley hat, man it kept my bonce warm, but it got half-inched in a restaurant in London. boo. Anyway, enjoy the film, nice print technique.

SCINTILLATION from Xavier Chassaing on Vimeo.
Just a lovely little experimental film. I'm so sorry, my posts are almost shorter that those on twitter - which is on probation, I still don't know if I like it. I'm a sucker for all kinds of social networking, and I thought this could be fun - but really who cares? Again, the right brainer in me wants it to serve some kind of purpose and the no brainer in me want to turn the internet off and get on my bike. I'm assured my new Conti's are in the post and on their way - come on, let's all track it together - oh, if only we could.
