They Got Bills to Pay (2007, 15.7MB, 2:29 min.)

The Streets of Philadelphia. Prostitution.
“It does sometimes confuse me as much how someone can be happy with such a life.
Sometimes I like to think that a happy person is able to be happy in any situation.
Other times I find it sad, thinking that they can’t possibly be really happy, that maybe
they don’t know real happiness. But I don’t like that answer. We can’t impose our own
sense of what makes us happy on someone else.
as far as being one of the worst areas, yes it is often hard and there is crime but I see
great beauty there and I hope to show that too.”

Andreas & Brittany’s Lumièree project has been brilliant in so many respects.
Firstly, it has engaged a load of people in making stuff.
Secondly, it has been a huge kick in the arse in terms of reflecting on what one
is doing when one is making video. It has sharpened all our eyes.
(And, curiously, speaking personally, my ears too. I think a lot harder about what
I want sound to do having now forsworn it on 25 or so occasions)
Lastly, there’s been some really great work come out of it.
Here’s one each from Andreas and Brittany and one from the frontrunner
in the productivity stakes (but not simply that – what an eye!) Sam Renseiw.

Pepa Garcia – autorretrato / puesta de sol

autoretrato; puesta de sol//self-portrait; sunset (2007, 5.16MB, 36 sec)

Hallado en una serie de vlogs (la navegación es un poco confusa,
y mi español rudimentario, así que espero haberlo pillado bien),
de la española residente en Chile Pepa García, este
vídeo es sencillamente perfecto: la mezcla justa entre
espontaneidad y cálculo; y hecho con arte,
conjurando una compleja atmósfera donde una especie
de deliciosa melancolía es la nota más predominante.
Simplemente genial.

Found on a series of vlogs (the navigation is a little confusing,
my Spanish is rudimentary, so I hope I’ve got the factual stuff right)
by Chile resident Spanish video maker Pepa Garcia, this piece is just perfect –
just the right mix of spontaneity and calculation, artfully made
and hence conjuring a rather complex atmosphere where a species
of delicious melancholy is the most predominant note.
Simply great.
