Filming the Film Titles

I was a bit worried how I was going to approach the titles, and I realised I was avoiding dealing with it. So I begin to think about it in those spare minutes of the day - on a train, walking to work, on the toilet - but resisted writing things down at all, preffering instead to let the ideas seive through my brain and ferment in my imagination. Finally tonight I had enough to go on - the idea of a scale model real worl credits, plus enough energy to improvise the details of how to build and shoot it. And I'm really pleased with the way it has worked out. It also felt satisfying to thank people involved and bring the shooting to an end. On with the edit...

Rising From The Grave

On Friday I began the task of bring out the dead. Sifting through the wreckage of the Clayton Square models and bringing the pieces and people together to build one final model, in tribute to the models that had gone before it. I had bought some miniature gravestones especially from noch.de in Germany in order to mark the dead. I also added a camera team to mark the process I have gone through in filming this project. Its strange - I remember how absolutely gutted I was when the Clayton Square models were trashed, but its meant I've been able to spend more time thinking about what they mean to me, and it has also allowed me to build a permanent habitat for the house spider to live in. Every act of destruction is an act of creation.
