I have always been aware of the power of the moving image. Video enriches any media environment and allows for much more information to be delivered in a shorter space of time than any other medium. This is particularly true when video becomes interactive.

Here are some examples of my video work, all were developed, shot and edited by myself:

Voyager is the name of a song by the alternative band Enigma. I set myself the task of creating a video for them that conveyed ideas and themes found in the song. I felt it very important to edit in time with the music in order to solidify the two elements.

I was influenced by Godfrey Reggio's film Koyaanisqatsi and as such the video is a poetic expression of my life in the heart of Devon.

Metronome Monotony is an exploration into time and routine. This is one of my early uni pieces and it paved the way for a extended study of time and its representation in film. We are surrounded by superstition and and rituals that are carried out on a daily basis and I believe we should stop and investigate their meaning.

Torbay Steam Fair by Vincent Stephens

A short trailer for the Torbay Steam Fair - August 2010

The brief was to collate the footage collected over the course of the three day steam fair then to edit a trailer. I needed to use the music recorded at the event and to show all aspects of the fair. The idea is to entice the audience to want to see more wither by watching the feature film (available soon on beatplaces.tv) or by attending the event next year.

WARNING - ADULT CONTENT!

La Son as Sun is part of my interactive media project where I explored the relationship of space to the representation of time. Harsh imagery with faster paced cuts and negative emotional reactions are juxtaposed with pleasing, slower cut shots intended to evoke emotionally positive reactions.

If time passes slowly when you are board or disgusted and enjoyment and relaxation accelerates the experience of time, what will happen when spaces portraying both disgust and relaxation collide?
