The Hard Sun - Another Time Lapse Video
A couple of weeks ago I spent the day taking various time lapse shots around Stratford Upon Avon on a beautiful sunny day. I had so much fun out in the sun that I almost forgot to capture the sun set, so I ran back home as quickly as I could to get the last 15 minutes or so of the sun setting.
I think I am definitely improving my time lapse skills now that I am able to use a nice camera; Canon 40D. Soon i'll have to purchase my own though as i'm sure I won't always be able to borrow it from work, and it would be good if I wasn't restricted to having a camera on just the weekends.
The music is by Plaid and is taken from the Tekkonkinkreet OST - a brilliant film I watched recently and was totally enthralled by.

The Hangman by Maurice Ogden
The sound quality is unfortuantely terrible as it was captured and digitised from Betamax.
This is an illustated and animated (mostly floating paper) rendition of Maurice Ogden's poem "The Hangman".
Narrated by Herschel Bernardi. I really like his voice.
Music composed and conducted by Serge Hovey. The score is incredible.
Produced in 1964.

The Hunger Artist
Incredible short stop motion film created by Tom Gibbons (animation supervisor at Tippet) based on the short story by Franz Kafka.
Synopsis:
Set in a city both past and present, on a deserted street where only the distant sounds of life blow by. The Hunger Artist stands alone, locked in his cage. Once famous and adored by the crowds, he now performs alone. The Hunger Artist is the story of one man's travel from glory to anonymity and into the greatest performance of his life.
A stop-motion animated film, The Hunger Artist is based on a short story by Franz Kafka. The viewer first sees a lone figure renting out a cage. He goes into the cage, unpacks his bag, and locks himself in. This strange character is the Hunger Artist: a performer whose art consists of denying himself nourishment.
