vog (a BETA videoblog)

In 2007 I went to Brussels for the first Video Vortex conference, and it was easier (and more enjoyable) to land in Paris and get the TGV into Brussels - if only because it took me in to the centre of the city and there was a station inside Charles de Gaulle. I returned the same way. Since it involved a couple of hours on the train I, like much of my content, took the opportunity to shoot a bit of footage, experimenting with what sort of low bit rate video my then phone produced. This is a very traditional triptypch, no child movies, just three video tracks lined up next to each other and all of equal duration.

This was shot on my Sony Ericsson k750i, whilst sitting on the TGV inside of an early Sunday morning. I've placed them in a triptych using just QuickTime Pro to lay them next to each other, stretching each to match the duration of the longest one. I'll probably make a second, sister work, in Livestage that uses the same video as child movies so that I can make them play back at different rates based on mouse events (or some other parameters?) just to help explore the differences between hard and softvideo.
