On days like these, Shot in Piccadilly London featuring Philip Bloom in a cameo role. Sure he wants to be an actor!! He was shooting and testing some equipment that day, I came along and this is the result, a glorious day in sunshine and warm temperatures which everyone enjoyed. Set to the music of Matt Monro 'On Days Like These' a cool 1960's track.

A Piccadilly is a stiff collar with scalloped edges and a board lace or perforated borders. Something gentlemen used to wear in the 17th century.

You can see Phil's film here vimeo.com/3318986
and also on his website philipbloom.co.uk/

Don forget to check out the showreel

  • Nice! - so how did you get permission to use a tripod in Piccadilly?
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Thanks Robin, no problem phoned the police in advance everything was fine
  • Philip Bloom plus 7 months ago
    you don't even need to do that!

    yeah really like it.
    good job.

    Its funny that we need permission to use cameras in these areas when they use a million CCTV cameras to watch and record us and they dont ask for our permission. At least if you go on channel 4's Big Brother you get payed for it.

    You raise a very good point here! thanks again for the comments....best wishes Mark

    I watched Philips first and then saw this and I love that you both had such different segments. I love your music choice and it added such character to all the faces.
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Hi Jared, it's true two different people in the same place, we see different things and we shot differently and each of us has our own style. I think this is a great the track and blends perfectly with the images.....thanks again for your comments as they are most welcome. Best Wishes Mark

  • Sage Pictures 8 months ago
    Hilarious, Bloom should see this. His letus rig always looks like a weapon.
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Hi Sage, Philip has seen this, you got to hand it to Phil as he has done so much for the Letus adaptor in drawing people's attention to this fanstastic device...Mark
  • Sage Pictures 8 months ago
    Thanks for responding.
    The question is, how long will it be before we all switch over to native 35?
    With the Red and the new dslrs, Philip will no longer be a letus advocate!
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Well I admire Philip for taking the letus as far a possible I think he has been intrumental in its development and it's being adopted by indie/professional filmakers everywhere. Who knows what the future holds! I still shot on my Sony F350 and stock lens!!

  • Greg Voevodsky 8 months ago
    You cut the kiss out?! I wanted to see the girls reaction to her kiss?!! Please hold the shot next time... especially the reaction - which is the payoff or punchline... in this case loss forever. ;-) Did she smile after it?! I'll never know.
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Greg, well you have a point but it part of the mystique of the shot did she, didn't she?? I must look at the following footage....best wishes Mark

  • Scott Karlins plus 8 months ago
    Mark, Beautiful job. I enjoy your shooting style. Loved the edit and the grading. Exposure a little bit dark is my only issue, otherwise very nice!
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Scott, thanks for the feedback! it was shot on the F350 and not the EX3. The light was dropping all the time but it was beautiful. For the grading I tend to not lift the exposure even if required sometimes, I think it gives more of a natural look..Thanks again best wishes Mark
  • Londonmark Films 8 months ago
    Also did you check out the website londonmarkfilms.com
    the grading and exposure is better, Vimeo seems to make the film darker after converting

  • bob lorrimer 8 months ago
    Really great work Mark.

    However the Matt Munro music is SO emotive that I cannot get the image of the Red Ferrari winding its way through alpine hills out of my mind....the title sequence of "THE ITALIAN JOB".
