More things being done very, very fast
About a month ago, I was busy making recordings for a new film piece that I have been thinking about for a while – me doing things very fast, with everyone else moving normally. It will get played back in slow motion, so that I look like the normal one. In the meantime I have been busy with a lot of other less interesting things, but I finally got the chance today to do some more filming – and once again, thanks to Astrid for assistance.
We returned to the Zuidplein (which is not called the WTC Plein as I had earlier thought), but as with last time, it was too windy to get much done. The problem is that because there are tall buildings on all sides, even a small amount of wind creates huge gusts at ground level. Can’t understand why the architects didn’t see that one coming. Anyway, it meant that I couldn’t really act very convincingly, what with things flying about all over the place.
Location number two was the Museumplein. Less problems with the wind this time, but more with irritating teenagers (god, I sound like a right old granddad), and litter flying about all over the place.
Looking back at the recordings later, I was not particularly happy. Still, I do believe that this is just the sort of thing that I need to keep doing ten or twenty times if necessary, and sooner or later it will work the way I am hoping. So, that means more filming next week.
