11/11/11 was ‘One Day On Earth’. One Day On Earth is a huge collaborative production where the brief was for people to document our planet specifically on 11.11.11. Chosen pieces of the submitted footage will be used to produce a unique film to showcase our world on that day. We decided to document our day to contribute. I was on the way to the Lake District with a friend that day and as we were travelling, we were unable to film a specific project so attached the GoPro to the car bonnet and filmed our journey there. We did our best to keep it charged for the whole journey though it didn’t quite pan out that way…we were travelling from Wiltshire. We did manage to give it a quick boost whilst on the motorway and made the journey edit continuously but unfortunately it didn’t hold out for the road to the top of Kirkstone Pass (I must buy a spare battery!), though in the edit it still works well. We timelapsed the sun setting on Kirkstone Pass for the ending to our day.
Take a look here for yourself to see our journey.

Avebury was another video made as a learning piece for me. We arrived at Avebury as the gates to the car parked opened for the day hoping to be able to film the stones without too many people around. The plan went fairly well though it was only an hour before the site started to get rather crowded. We decided to move to the less busy area of the West Kennet Avenue and then on to West Kennet Long Barrow to include some more of the historical area in to the video.
One of the first video projects I set myself was to create a short promo video of Bath. This was primarily a learning piece for me for both filming and editing.
