Every now and again Jupiter and Venus are in conjunction in the western sky. Rare shit like that occasionally coincides with me getting a trick that might be worth dropping off at Zero and dumping into the Cold War folder. In between those scarce moments, in order to avoid plunging into the deathly-dark pit of boredom and depression, I tend to make videos inspired by skateboarding. The above video is a collection of self-portrait clips shot over the course of a 3 month period in which I completely forgot to shave. The more observant among you may glimpse flashes of severe joy and inner pain throughout.
P.S. It doesn’t have to be Jupiter and Venus, it could be any rare celestial configuration, a blue moon for example. Music used with permission from Johnny Common.
Nice little video man. What did you use to film it? Did you use a steadycam of any sorts?
Glad you enjoyed it. It was filmed using a Canon G12 held in my hand. No steadicam, just pure human arm.

Always impressed…good work mr rattray.
Logical extension of Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video. Progress marches on.
McCauley Culkin is gratuitous but the rest of that video is brilliant. It\’s like he\’s following the historical path of the human genome but that video was made BEFORE they fully got going on that shit. http://bit.ly/J7cxLn Amazing.
Is that you Begbie? You look just like good ol' Franco
