[LOWER THE LIGHTS - SWITCH OFF THE WORLD - PLAY FULL SCREEN]

A BOOK TRAILER | 3m

I don’t make ads. Not really. But if I did this is what might happen. I made this for Gene. You might recognise him from the first Soul Portrait. And I was struck by a single line;

‘everybody was an honor, everybody was a privilege to be with’

And the reason I’m playing it here is because this is how Gene is. Truly is. Everybody is an honor and a privilege to be with. And in this action he proves that a life time of ’seeking’ can transform a person.

I wonder how it feels for you to be with others?

The film is a book trailer. The book of this quiet & extraordinary journey [DETAILS HERE].

‘as the light makes its way’

William Murtha asked me if I’d write 100 words for this book. And now it seems they sit alongside words from Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Goodall, Alice Walker & 196 others.

Here they are. In voice and written word. 121 words actually.

Perhaps follow the written word alongside my voice & guitar.

‘as the light makes its way’

A man had lived in his imagination.

Ever since he was a boy.

For it was full of wonder and adventure when set against
the outer world that housed his everyday life.

His imagination surrounded him in light.
The outer world, in a darker shade.

But as he waited for this outer world to catch the light,
he realised that it might not.

And so he stepped out into the world,
hand in hand with his imagination.

Knowing that together they would bring
light to the darkest of corners.

—

And he is you. And me.

And together, the imagination of our collective soul
has already begun its inevitable work.

As the light makes its way towards
the experience of the world.

[LOWER THE LIGHTS - SWITCH OFF THE WORLD - PLAY FULL SCREEN]

A brief camera test for a new idea. To capture tunes as I imagine them. No rehearsal. No take two.

I wander the house playing like this much of the day. Most is lost to the ether.

HERE IS THE ‘100 WORDS’ ENTRY

SOUL PORTRAIT NUMBER ONE | 2m | STARRING GENE PASCUCCI

I had long wondered if I might capture someone with less. With less time. And with fewer words.

Less can be a challenge. More is so much easier.

new image for soul commissions

Nic Askew — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:09:55 +0000

Commissioned films are now to be shot on Canon’s new 7D. And in 24P, which means a series jump in quality of image and a filmic look. FILM not VIDEO.

It has meant a whole new set of equipment and workflow to learn, but finally I’ve worked it out. And the results look great, even though juggling all the parts at once has been a challenge. There are some examples of this new style over on my latest film project - Leadership on Film [CLICK].
