I am heading out in town for #bankholidaycrime let me explain further below..

still confused? I would be worried if you weren’t, I will drop some video and some location based info along the way starting in camden, so follow me over on twitter @bennycrime

UPDATE: Due to the gravitational forces at work on a bank holiday I never reached escape velocity from Camden, but I did pick up a few recruits a long the way in the form of @_aka_ @bluebadger & most of @sissyblisters. Videos are below in chronological order..

Simon McCoy has gone too far this time..

Video available here on Vimeo also.

#CrimeCamp is finally here… I will get an early bird special sign up page for next year’s CrimeCamp up shortly. It’s 10K per head, but you’re guaranteed to get at least a tenner back (ROI, is the technical term I believe) through the knowledge & wisdom that you gain..

Youtube version here.

Note: In reality I was invited by Sta Travel buzz to do a Masterclass, and it evolved into a bit of video experiment. Big thanks to them for letting me loose..

Also thanks to my victims for their sterling performances @_Aka_ @Allix and the rest (please comment below with your twitter names and I will update & link you).

Hello there internet chicklets… so I’ve been a Neglectatron (made up word) recently and haven’t posted anything. Now the internet is flooded with blog posts excusing a blog contributor because they have been (tick where appropriate) Away [ ] Busy [ ] Tied to a giant lizard [ ] Asleep [ ] and to be honest I’m not a big fan of those, but I understand that they are necessary to tell the universe that you are still very much alive. So I have prepared a list of things that I have been doing to assure you that I haven’t just been sitting on my own in a dark room screaming to myself “This’ll teach ‘em’” over and over and over again..

* Built a green screen studio (more information on its way, will be promoting this soon.. when it has a name.. )

* Ridiculous hours of Capturing/designing & Motion Graphics for DVD boxsets (Blue Thunder, Dark Skies, Kane & Abel, Curse of the demon & Larry Sanders SE1 + 2)

* Launched a new website for @Pink_Pigeon although most of the work was done by behind the scenes types, as you can see I had the honour of launching it..

Which brings me to the video, since purchasing the fabled jesus phone 4, instead of uploading video as I go, I have been compiling it in-phone using imovie.

Call it my Iphone 4 review…

IPAD BADGERS Youtube version as always is here. Now I do feel like I should just embed from youtube as they support Ipad embeddding but they just don’t cut it when it comes to my craving for inserting my own ridiculous placeholder images..

NOTE: I’m not a big fan of iMovie for Iphone 4, perhaps its because I’m so used to editing with Final Cut Pro that I feel like its working with one hand tied behind my back. (There is no way to cut clips into pieces, you have to re-add each clip then trim it..)  It really didn’t make me want to use it at all and I felt fear every time I launched the app. However its nice to have the option now (even though you have to pay for it..) Its works well as an on-bus editing suite..

You need Video, you need it right now, your accountant is trying to get through to you to tell you, but he can’t because you’re busy on another call.

Ok I lied, maybe we are going to need some road here. In my last post I mentioned that I’ve been chasing after the #NokiaNav participants with my lens and various other camera related contraptions in order to capture the essence of the experience of taking part in the action packed challenges along the way. Wow, that was a long sentence, is that even legal? Anyway…

Here it is in all it’s glory, please let me know what you think. Comment, tweet me, shout at me loudly in the street, any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated.

Special thanks to @bluebadger & @joodle for shooting second camera.

Mr @eddowie for soundpost/music & @jackheatseek for music

And last but not least the guys @1000heads for letting me loose on their project.

I feel like I’ve somehow slipped into an alternative reality without noticing, lots of changes happening all around me without much time or sleep to keep my head on the transition. Last week @joodle and I moved flat to Camden, have been up and down the country shooting #NokiaNav and we had this election thing which at first glance seems to have put a team from Junior Apprentice in charge of the country. Having not really had time to keep up with the news since starting our move, I woke up the other day after finally catching up with some sleep in a strange new flat with a strange new government and wondered whether I had woken up in an alternate reality..

Check out the teaser for #NokiaNav below which concludes tomorrow and see WomWorldNokia for more on what its all about.

Last week I went along to help out on @joodle & @janody’s music video shoot for band Vita & the Vicious. This was mainly to get in the way as much as possible and shove my iPhone in peoples faces, but also  to help out and shoot second camera…

UPDATE: The finished music video is now up here.

For #VhsMovieClub Monday night along with @danlight & @_aka_ we filmed a number of segments to be inserted into the VHS quiz questions one of which is Video Tape Lung, the unfortunate side effect of too many years of handling Video Cassettes..

In the spirit of broadening my horizons on the 23 of March I went on down to the @slashfilm tweetup somewhere in central london. I love how twitter allows this sort of spontaneous event to take place. I saw a tweet in my stream (Edging harrowingly into sounding like some sort of social media nightmare man machine guru maven but bear with me). The tweet gave details of meetup, thus verily I ended up heading down there with none other than Mr @_aka_. Now the thing is that to turn up to this sort of impromtu gathering faced with a load of random people you’ve never met, you have to have to be a bit mad, not a lot mind you just a bit. Thus most of the randoms are not adverse to being filmed by a madmen such as myself and its a great setting for collaboration of sorts (some people may not call this a collaboration rather the twisted crazy of a madmen being inflicted on others in a public space, I guess you can decide for you self…
