It seems like an age ago I did this interview for UniSA news. So much happened on Australia in the last few weeks, I had forgotten about it. It’s now up online, or – for all UniSA graduates – in your mailbox.

Updates
-->Regular visitors may have noticed that the site has finally been updated to a unified design. Trimmed down, leaner and meaner. The portfolio has also been trimmed down and while I desperately want to put up some of my work from Australia, I can’t just yet.
I’ve also been testing the site for mobile device compatibility, which works quite well, although a mobile specific CSS would be nice… iPhone users should check out the showreel to see some nice integration in action.
I wish every holiday video was like this. It’s just beautiful, gentle and very nicely done. Damn I wish my SLR did video. A walk in the mountain with Julie by Sébastien Abes on Vimeo.
Tilt-Shift Video
-->Keith Loutit has an awesome series of shorts up on Vimeo that utilise the ’tilt-shift lens’ effect where the depth of field of an image is dramatically narrowed and gives the illusion of everything being miniature. I first saw this technique in Thom Yorke’s Harrowdown Hill video clip and was sure that I was looking at miniatures. It’s remarkably effective and surprisingly easy to achieve. Keith’s videos, Shot around Sydney harbour, are a lot of fun and well worth a look.
The second trailer for Australia is up online, but strangely enough, not on the official site nor the Apple trailers site. Interestingly, one of the shots I worked on is in there. Exciting stuff!
