You can change – Shot on the South Bank. This was unplanned short and my thanks go to Philip Bloom one for his cameo appearances but also allowing me to tag along this day. We had a few permission problems with security but they were resolved which then allowed limited access to shoot so both he and I took advantage I shot this short and Phil was doing other footage for something else. Set to the music of ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ by The Verve. Thank you also to everyone for their support on my last short If I lay here – Enjoy this one the next is in pre-production

Be Well ;-) 5 months ago

Hey, thanks for sharing this with me - however, I was wondering - have you been looking through my CD collection?

No, but seriously, I like the shots you & Phillip took for this video, but for the Verve, not all of them seem to fit the mood of this song - maybe it is just me?

For me, this song tells a significant story in Richard Ashcroft's life that was a real struggle for him. The video doesn't give off that sort of vibe - well, not at least until the end segment with the reconciling young couple ;-)

I love the shot's and that Phillip Bloom gave you the bird :D

Nice one mate :)

Thanks Be Well...Everyone has a bittersweet struggle it is very subtle in some scenes but it there in the faces. I am after a juxtaposition between the music and the expression of the faces and body language...But I really do appreciate the time you take to give feedback...just to clear things up I amended the description above to reflect that at this stage it was not a joint project with Phil...But I do look forward to this... as he is a great guy with a excellent body of work...Mark

...through your juxtaposition, the video appeared a little disjointed at times with the connection between elements not being easily interpretable. To reach a wider audience, you have to remember that you really need to keep it simple (K.I.S.S.) and only then be cute with the sublime ;-)

I offer this feedback in a positive way and I hope this does not distract you from your goals...

mark you put in that shot! bugger

your aspect ratio looks wrong, squished! other that that I hate you for stealing my woman eating the ice cream shot. bugger
Londonmark Films 5 months ago

Ouch...great shot though....and a world exclusive!.... a little squished and jittery the footage seems better at XR. I had to put in it was going to melt otherwise!

Thanks for this. Can you tell us more about the permission problems and how you resolved them. I'm going to be around Parliament Square in a couple of days, and I was hoping to grab some footage.
Londonmark Films 5 months ago

Alex... You don't need permission in westminster so you should be fine with small crew under 3 people. the southbank is private property hence the issues we experienced.

The ever graceful Phil Bloom makes his star turn. Some great framings of the London Eye in there, Mark.

A graceful turn indeed....thanks again Craig

Martijn Doornenbal 5 months ago

Nice images!
At some shots it looks like you had auto iris on...
I love the couple at the end, makes me wonder what they where talking about, but in slowmotion everything looks dramatic...

Thanks Martin...much appreciated...you spotted the mistake...Mark
kruzer 5 months ago

I can read lips... the last couple said:

"Ignore that guy taking pictures"
"Sure, but don't tell my wife about us.. OK?"
"Are ya gonna marry me?"
"We'll see, my wife has all the money and I gotta take it easy, so she won't get suspicious...."

(the rest I could not make out... some cussing words by her and he said "sure baby, I'll mary you as soon as I get rid of the bitch"

Well, I did the best I could under the circumstances :)

The first thing that popped into my mind is "weird" since everyone looks very contemplative and serious. But the woman at 4:00 was beautiful.

I have to agree
you can shoot.
The music does feel a little extraneous...I'm sure several soundtracks might work as well... but it's certainly a treat for the eyes.

Nice one mark, i'm a fellow Bloom fan. I can see your following in his footsteps, very good work.
Some really good shots, I won't mention the ice cream (I thought that was a man). I especially liked the shot of you and the camera, where you were giving the finger. Also the close up of the centre of the wheel, the low shot on westminster bridge (you must have been in the gutter) and the couple at the end, finish it off beautifully, with a nice place for your credits (I didn't see Philip's name there though
Anyway I don't want to waffle on. I would be interested in knowing how you got round security? I've been kicked off there a few times, as soon as the tripod comes out.
I look forward to your next short.
Londonmark Films 4 months ago

Thanks Carl..much appreciated...Although following Philip footsteps is not what I had in mind but understand the sense of your comments...Security is a pain as it private property...it's ok if you look like a tourist with a consumer camera....by the way Philip was giving the finger....Mark

Apologies for the misidentification Mark, I see the resemblance with the apes now.

Amenon 4 months ago

A million different faces...

Enjoyed this - think it caught a London vibe very well - London *is* a little bit dark as often as not and Bittersweet hits the nail on the head. Was back in London for the first time in a long time a few weeks ago, and on the South Bank - the atmosphere felt similar (some shots in Flickr). Thank you for sharing.
Londonmark Films 2 months ago

Thanks Amenon, I am glad you liked it and the choice of music which was not to everyone taste but I think it matched very well. But then I would....Again many thanks to your support
