Flightline ODC Slackers – Shannon Noble
Flightline ODC Slackers (2007, 23.5MB, 2:35 min)
An excellent piece from Shannon Noble.
Shannon is a maker of remarkably finely judged
videos which often amaze but never sit up and beg.
Here he tackles, with both grace & restraint, something
that I suppose could loosely be described as a genre
film: the sports documentary.
OK, the poetic sports documentary.

God-like genius & professional curmudgeon Mark E Smith
of The Fall reads the football (OK – soccer to
about two thirds of you) results on the BBC in 2005.

Brits of a certain age but stay with it – the last third is
a hoot.

Eclectic – Ross Ching
Eclectic (2007, 66MB, 2:26 min.)
“This film I created by myself. It is a series of time-lapse shots that I edited
together and put to music. Rather than using a regular video camera,
I opted to use a digital SLR camera because it allowed me to shoot in ultra
high definition as well as get the depth of field only available to film cameras”.
