This is one of the many photos to be found on my very talented nephew’s flickr site.
I’ll post a link to Kev “photovanglist’ Martin’s pics soon, may even lift a few to fluff out the blog somewhat.
Nat’s flickr site (accessed from the pic above) documents the recent arrival of my niece’s daughter, Aisha Zara, amongst other events.
He is a strong advocate of the use of film and chemical photography (as opposed to digital techniques and equipment) and some of the work convincingly reflects the strengths of this medium. He also has a fridge full of discontinued and obselete film formats, much to the delight of the whole family, no doubt.
Take a look…
We shot this crazy rawck video for Irish band Glyder, and it is for their single PUP (Pretty Useless People) which takes a stab at the rise of talentless people appearing on TV.
Came home tonight, turned on the TV, and there it was. Imagine my suprise… it was on 6, the new Irish cable channel, and is due more plays elsewhere soon. I’m delighted it’s doing the business for the lads, they are really sound and definately deserve a break.
It’s all their concept also. Filming comprised two gruelling 14 hour shoot days, and about 3 X 16 hour edit days were involved. This is the final edit.
we’re having a beautiful summer now.
here’s a sunrise, shot at 1 second for every 30, and sped up to 10 times its original speed.
dublin bay looks perfect first thing.
if we get a better day i’ll post the whole lot, it needs to be a bit clear for this stuff to work…
It’s me, Bub and FFF this time in some long distance madness.
It nearly broke my heart trying to get this up onto google so please do take a look!
My Brother lives in Hungary now, where he is in the property development game. I’m sure a blog is in the way for him also, however, I would like to quote from an email he sent regarding the ‘little differences’ when ordering your trusty burger out there….
To those of you who would venture forth to this gentle land, fair warning is due to parry indelicacies that may arise from time to time, owing to certain linguistic coincidences.
The word in Hungarian for cheese is here pronounced shite, admittedly with a slight extra emphasis on the “i” sound. This unlucky sleight of chance may precipitate unwelcome awkwardness in ordinary social situations, but nowhere is hilarity more guaranteed than your bog-standard trip to Mickey Dees.
You see, this is the only place on the planet where its completely orthodox to walk into McDonalds, set your facial features to “perfectly serious”, and ask politely for a “s-h-i-t-e-b-u-r-g-e-r”. Your trustee Mc Purveyor will not so much as flinch; no raised eyebrow, no bellowing for security, no grave warnings about mockery of the hallowed name etc. The more likely response will be the equivalent of; “yawl wan’ fries with that”, or an offer to “super-size” you.
Whether the appellation “Mc Shiteburger” works best as Truth or Metaphor, THIS REPORTER will leave to the judgement of the esteemed reader. The only dissimilating grace in this cruelly ironic twist is that “cheese”, in written Hungarian, appears as “s-a-j-t”, a spelling not even James Joyce himself would discern. If nothing else, the earnest traveller is afforded a unique opportunity to practice the delicate arts of sang-froid in the most trying of circumstances. Consider yourselves forewarned!
Herein lies a video tale of Myself and Bununus taking a Road Trip to Cork, as it became the City of Culture in 2005.
Can’t really make any promises, bit of fun and what have you. May cause confusion.
I am a 30-something Irishman fending for myself in this world armed with little more than some production skills, particularily in the areas of music and video, and have been, in previous incarnations, involved with various bands and what have you.
Feel free to look at the company and band site, www.army-of-id.com
Welcome to the army of id blogspot.
My name is Qube and I want to use this space to say a bit about what we do in our production company, and hopefully keep you diverted with some tunes and video from the back burner while you’re here.
