The Life Giving Cycle: Care of The Natural History Museum

Some parts of the Natural Histroy Museum, like the part in the video above I really could get mesmerised by.

On Saturday we descended upon the Museum to covertly film some shots for #plan9 the latest evolution of the teaser for @danlight‘s Loch Ghoon. (Some may remember the abandoned on fear of death due to malfunctioning carheap from gumtree former plan to film some daring shots in Scotland..).

Once in there noting the overwhelming amount of tourists with video cameras and the fact we were filming on DLSR meant that the liklihood of anyone bothering us was very slim..

Assault on #Plan9

No.1 Crawley House..

And no museum visit would be complete without A Visit To The Gift Shop…

Aside from my rambling there are a few pics up over on flickr, @whatleydude has written up a post and no doubt @danlight will do a write up on on his blog which will shed much more light on what we actually did there other than messing about with lizards in the gift shop…

… and there will be a glimpse into what we shot in the form of some kind of teaser at #vhsmovieclub on the 25th of Jan so stay tuned…

After my disasterous attempts to start the car yesterday..

And further trouble today..

..We have decided the mission to Aviemore will stretch us a little far this Christmas. It’s not just the conditions or the cars adverse dispositions to the cold. It’s the 60 hour turnaround which we have to work with, if we are not back in time there will be hell to pay..

The thing is also that if we are having this sort of trouble in london, imagine what will happen in Scotland “worse road conditions in 20 years”  a zillion miles from help. (Cut to me running through snowy plains with Flamethrower being chased by David Bowie and The Snowman (TM).

I’m still very excited about this project and I really hope we can re-group in the new year to bring it to fruition. @danlight is still heading up to scotland anyway to ‘get a feel for things’ so we shall see.  I have a feeling that no matter what happens, the end of 2009 has set the scene for some very interesting collaborations in 2010..

I mean you can see the potential already…
