It’s Videoblogging Week 2006 and while not having any brilliant concepts for a video, first things first: A day in the life, edited from 99 clips lasting over 90 minutes shot in a rainy Copenhagen while doing whatever I had to do…
I’m shooting DV, meaning I’m capturing in real time. For the bits where I kept the camera rolling, it was a pretty strange experience — reliving parts of my day in real time.
The video is too long. My original excuse for an idea was to try fast cutting from substantial amounts of material, but somehow I ended up with 10 minutes anyway. When the clock passes 3 in the AM, you stop caring about losing a couple seconds here and there… I don’t in any way believe that this is particularly interesting, but I challenged my self footage-wise and this is the result. I learned a lot — unfortunately all that knowledge didn’t really make it into this film. Maybe next time…
10 minutes is long, but I did like the pacing of this one.
The idea was to challenge myself by insisting on doing a full day in chronological order, without going MTV on the video’s ass. I do still think, however, that I could’ve cut at least a couple minutes without compromising the idea.… Next time.…
Can’t really tell you why but I love it. Fascinating stuff — from the trademark black shirt to the Latté. Brilliant.
Interesting stuff I must say! Quite original.
The soundtrack is also particularly good i think (this reggae sounding tune). Whats that track called anyway ?

Højdepunktet var da du tog hjem for at skifte underlægningsmusik. Det var sjovt.
It’s a dirty job, but…
Hej Anders
Det (reggea musik) du bruger i denne video, vil jeg gerne vide hvad hedder? Kan du oplyse mig om det?
