Matty Lambert, Mark Webb and BMX

Matty Lambert to me is a huge inspiration to my work and my bmx life. He is an extremely ingenuitive and creative Filmer bringing bmx edits new life and a new artistic movement to the scene

Tutorial video story board OUDF404

My next brief is a tutorial video in which i have to make an instructional video describing how to perform a task in intricate detail. With my roots in BMX i have decided to do a video on how to Jay hop a BMX bike for beginners.
In this video i plan for it to be shot at Hyde park skatepark in Leeds. The starting sequence of the video will contain close up shots of me talking and describing how to perform the trick with shots and clips of me performing it. Particularly pausing when i am talking about a certain part or sequence of the trick.
I plan on using the high speed camera in my Tutorial video. I think it will be the best way to convey my project in describing in detail how to do a Jay-hop on a bmx bike.
I plan to have annotations on the screen whilst the shot is playing in detail, describing every movement and action you must take whilst attempting the trick.

OUDF404 Gaspar Noé

Where to exactly start with this film has left me sitting behind my desk for quite some time now... I saw this nearly 2 months ago and yet I haven't quite been able to shake it from my brain ever since! I think i will start with what i found wrong with the film. It was just too long. Especially in the second the film just seemed to drag on a bit leaving me over whelmed at the intensity of the film.

Despite this, the film has left me with the feeling that i've been through an abstract, hallucinogenic fantasy that just seemed to draw me inwards. Everything about it was just unique and different despite its over whelming 162 minutes run time, i was glued for every second. Gaspar Noè's directing was superb to say the least. The first person camera angle made me feel extremely intimate with the character that left me felt in-bodied with the main character Oscar as you follow his life through the underground streets of Tokyo. This with the combined mind blowing special effects made the film seem like a roller coaster journey that i could not get off until it had grounded to a halt.

The whole film is shot in real time, which i think many viewers would find hard to watch, especially with some of the opening scenes. But these scenes play vital role in the film with understanding what is happening to Oscar, which when everything starts kicking off gets pretty dark. Bottom of sea dark. This film in-holds everything a parent would want to keep away from their children. This is not a film you would watch with a couple of friends around for a relaxing night. It is something you have to prepare to think about and get sucked into the void just like I did.

In conclusion Gasper Noé's directing was incredible. Despite the length of the film (which i believe was done by Noé on puroise to in-body the character and realise that this trip will never end) i believe it is an amazing film. And if you had the time to spare should be prepared for one hell of a ride.

I will soon to be taking on the director position in my own project at uni and hope i can convey some of the artistic and ingenuitive themes that Noé has brought to us in 'Enter the void'
