Here are some new loops that I created tonight with video and still sequences shot in a 53′ Trailer in a Marina del Rey warehouse. I have other versions of this footage and this is just a taste. Don’t quite know what I am going to do with the footage yet but I am sure they will be coming to a Transfer show near you.

New Still Motion Series, originally uploaded by johnryanshea.

Currently working on a new series for Transfer as I know they are in studio
working on tracks for the upcoming album. That means I have to get my butt
moving and stock up on clips to be able to react. Ever since discovering the
burst option on my sony cybershot I have had a lot of fun with still frame
motion. The cut works to a beat better than continual motion at times. Light
beats work the same as sound beats in basic principal but it is the speed at
which they happen that needs to be the focus. That means that your frame
duration should be kept at a 1/4 structure and augmented with speed control
through your system in order to match the music. It¹s worked well for me
thus far.

William Ward lives only a few steps from one of London’s favorite drinking spots, a venerable pub called the Museum Tavern. Its clientele has reputedly included Karl Marx, the impoverished exile who spent his days studying at the British Museum Reading Room just across the street, and Arthur Conan Doyle, the struggling young doctor who had an office nearby and created Sherlock Holmes to occupy his idle hours between patients. The place still looks much as it did in their days, and people from the neighborhood still stop by for a glass—but not as frequently as they used to. “I love going to the pub, and I’d come more often if I could,” says Ward, nursing a £3 ($5) pint of beer. “But the price of beer anywhere in London is just outrageous.”

Working, originally uploaded by johnryanshea.

Currently working on new video blog. Should be up in the next day or so. I must say that we had such a great time at the last show as Anthology are the best venue to work with in the city in terms of understanding that it is “show first” and pretention later. We will always appreciate a good venue and Anthology are jsut that. Big-Ups as they say.
