See how me and Nova got on at the Beach at night in the beginning for February.

Also, I used some Greenlandic folk track to make it seem even more awesome.

An issue that most of us are unaware is even going on

You might not know about it yet but you too might suffer from the effects of this distressing problem…

We face a very real chance of losing a lot of our own communication liberties.

Personally I feel it is important to understand that governments and organisations are not happy with how information and intellectual property is easily and often freely distributed. The restrictions to TV and radio broadcasting exist for a simple reason; controlling the flow of information.

It just so happens that with the invention of the internet people have taken that control back. We decide what we watch and when – and for some of us WE control what we produce, upload and make available for others to watch. The governmental systems have very little control over what we say or what we do on the open internet.

This will change; by the means of SOPA, PIPA or something else in the future. People can only fight for so long before the systems in place apply smarter laws. Laws we might even be told will do us some good.

SOPA and PIPA even make it almost impossible to use I.P content under fair use.

Keep vigilant about your own views and liberties.

We’ll tell our children stories of open, free and uncensored communication and they’ll think we’re making it up.

If it’s not SOPA or PIPA it’ll be something else that reverts power and control over communication away from people and back to governments and organisations.

If you’d like to know more about SOPA or PIPA the guardian have compiled a great article which you can find here: http://bit.ly/w6OHBE

The money raised goes towards THE PROSTATE CANCER CHARITY, THE INSTITUTE OF CANCER RESEARCH and MOVEMBER FOUNDATION.

So, I’ll just be updating this little blog post once a week (or maybe more, if i get the time!) with updates on how the MO is GOING!

Please consider donating or if you would like you can even join my team and we can be MO BRO’s to help raise money and awareness together

Remember, there is no ‘right’ way to interpret this short, so please dont be shy to let me know how this made you think.

This winter I’ll be producing 4 short films ranging from a broad range of stylisations and concepts. The idea is to seek audience response and interpretation – to encourage people to reveal what each piece represented to them.

What message or concept did you take away from this? Please let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.

Audience Interpreation and Feedback

To me the tears being coloured red was representative of anger, the red marks left by the red tears a sign of emotional scaring left from past events. The poppy signified remembrance – the end of something old and start of something new. - Anonymous

Really nicely lit/filmed. Reminded me a little of Matthew Barney – something about the way its symbolism seemed very stylised & alienating, if that makes any sense.. - Tristan Rogers

The beginning of the end, fear and acceptance. The flowers represent the purity and beauty of life and death. Very dark Jim lol, thanks for the nightmares in advance. - William Napier

Awesome stuff , the way you pick out the tears is brilliant and really captures attention, beautifully lit. To me it means a turning away from the (frivolous?) beauty of the flower into a darker more emotional place. It left me wanting to know more – which I suspect was your intention - Neil Atkin

When I was watching this I got an almost icy feeling. There is good contrasting between the bright and dark giving it a very cold tone, which brings me to music ! The music in my opinion is what really sells this. It builds up great levels of suspense to the viewer pulling them in and closing off the world that surrounds them ! To put it blunt I thought it was brilliant mate ! Great work ! – Danny Paul Stanley-Clarke

Below are a few shots I put together of a beautiful Rose sat smugly between some Russian ivy. I also shot a very pretty flower with white/purple petals – I couldn’t identify this plant, if you know it then please write in the comments below.

These tall metal trunk looking objects react to movement when hands are waved in front of the ports on each side. They produce a beautifully composed and seemingly random array of sounds. Once all activated the sounds come together to create a mystifying and consuming symphony.

The installation was designed by Christopher Janney and is powered by a range of Apple Mac computer systems.
