I followed the rules of straight 8 filmography to make this. I could only edit on camera, so i had to film everything in order of the script. The only thing i did add was a blurry filter to make it seem like it was filmed on a roll of super8. I then separately recorded the voiceover, keeping the first attempt and no editing in that either. Then I put them together and hoped for the best.
The film is essentially a remix of a film i have made previously (link above). The previous film followed the script being read here, but did not include it, so i decided to add the voice over in response to Nick Scott’s film ‘Earth to Earth’.

I like how you’ve explained how you made the film. Although without it, its still amazing! The monotone, drab voice actually explains Leeds in terms of weather and colour of the sky, without saying it!

Absolutely loved this! Fabulously put together. Loved the informative narrative (loved the accent!) and the beautiful video aesthetic. Very nice piece.

I really like this.. you’ve packed so much information in and really given a picture of the city in short time.. it’s like a haiku on leeds
