Another Cool Tilt-Shift Video
I’ve gone on about these before.
Even made one myself…
That’s the view out of my hotel window in Marseilles, back when I had a life.
An ode to Cognitive Surplus.
A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...
A celebration of laterality.
If you come they will build it.
By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.

I adore tilt-shift videos. Isn’t wild how the brain deciphers the blur as if the worlds are small?!
They inspired me to make my over-sized miniature meant-to-look real stop-motion set tilt-shifted to look like real life made to look miniature.
Great shot. What were you doing in Marseilles?

Just hanging out ans partying really.
That was the time when I went out for dinner, had a bottle… then (rubs hands together) decided “excellent. I’m going to get drunk”
“But this time I’m not going to lose my credit cards”… because I do this on holiday a lot, and it makes things really difficult.
So I went back to my hotel and made damn sure I put them in my safe. I said to myself “cards->safe. Cards->safe”. I locked the safe door… opened it again to make sure… left the room… went back in, opened the safe again. “Yep. cards->safe, cards->safe”.
Then I went out and got a cab and said “take me to the roughest bar in Marseille”
A couple of hours later I was up on a hill somewhere partying with the locals… patted my pockets and thought “OMG, MY CARDS ARE GONE!!!”
So I went outside, rang up my bank and cancelled them.
