Short Sails 3, 2010

I repeatedly return to moving image, some of which I share here. In many ways I think of the films as collages or abstract pictures that evolve, and move. In the way that installation can expand the complexity of our experience of the art work, I think of film having the capacity to expand our experience of a static image.

In 2002, after I moved to Shetland, I started to learn how to edit video using Final Cut Pro. I got sidetracked by Flash Animation.  By the time I felt like I was finally getting to grips with Final Cut Pro, Apple changed it.  I've therefore ended up editing most of my films on iMovie until 2024, which is quite limited.  I also have used Procreate for the Landscape in Pain films. Now I'm using DaVinci Resolve, although learning slowly!

You can see more films on my Vimeo site. I've not managed to upload all the films I've made since the early 2000s to the Internet yet, but I am working on it.
