Orbital at the Manchester Academy 19/09/2009 – videos

 

I’ve had my new iPhone a while now and realised I haven’t used the much talk about (prior to release) video function, so I did a little test at the Orbital gig at Manchester Academy last Saturday (19/09/2009).  (I never generally think to take videos on my iPhone, but I forgotten to clear the memory card before going out and ran out of space on my card.)

 I took two videos on my iPhone and two on my camera ( Canon Ixus 700, http://www.cameras.co.uk/details/canon-ixus-700.cfm) the results are as below:

Orbital - Impact (The Earth is Burning) - Canon Ixus 700

Orbital - Belfast - Canon Ixus 700

Orbital – Satan – iPhone 3GS (held vertically)

Orbital – Doctor? – iPhone 3GS (held horizontally) - This has a bit of a slow start.

I was largely impressed with the iPhones video capabilities, and I like how it automatically knows which way round the phone is being held.  Although the sound sensitivity levels are pretty high on the phone which causes the sound to drop out completely which is no good!

Ps. What an amazing gig!

Lo-fi lomo

Transformer Film Camera

If you are of a certain age you will recognize this product as a 35mm film canister, but you may not notice that it is also a camera. That’s right, hidden inside this oversized film canister is a 35mm camera, not a digital camera. The camera is a tiny point and shoot that pops open to reveal the lens, flash and film holder inside. the design revives the iconic film canister graphics of the past, giving the camera a nostalgic feeling for those old enough to remember the pre-digital era. the camera’s controls are located on the side and the top
twists to advance the film. The camera also comes in an even more unusual disguise, a coffee canister. See for yourself here.

Joy Diversion

I know this pic has been posted about a bit over the past few weeks or so. But I happened to walk past it in on my way to Northern Digitals the other day and it got me thinking about the art of graffiti.

 When done cleverly, with a bit of wit and a tongue firmly in cheek then it can be really succesful and form a sort of landmark, such as works from Banksy etc, and contribute to an area. Done badly and it does exactly the opposite and starts what can be a downward cycle of vandalism and neglect.

 Whether good or bad, the result often outlives the period in which the graffiti remains and certainly the brief moment of inspiration from the artist or vandal.

 Anyway this bit of marker fun made me smile.
