My Videos

I have included various videos in my website over the years, and most can be found if you search hard enough through my blog, Footnotes, or other pages, but I thought it would be a good idea to have them all linked from their own page.  This also includes some videos that I haven't linked to from anywhere else, but I'll try to keep them all in some sort of order. Some are raw videos taken with a digital camera, but the majority have been under the hammer of Windows Movie Maker. I'm gradually uploading some of the better ones to YouTube, so if you wanted to watch them in streaming video instead of dowloading these wmv files, please visit my YouTube Page.

"Snap, Crackle and Pop" - where's the evidence for this outrageous claim?  I think what we've been waiting for is a proper clinical trial to validate Kellogg's bold assertions.  Preferably in limerick form...

My first proper film - more of a thought experiment, really, and probably of more interest to me than anyone else, but I think the theme is interesting, reflecting as it does on the multiple personas we assume in our various cirles of life.

As a big fan of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons, I lost no time in making a video version of one of my favourites.  Set on a desert island, it pays homage to this cartoon (available until StationCrafts becomes wildly popular and discovered by Larson's lawyers).  A mere 30 seconds long, it's filmed from my river (yes, the camera was perched atop a couple of breezeblocks in midstream), and is the second of my films to star myself in no fewer than three different roles.
