Making Some Letters...

So recently I’ve found myself watching a lot of documentary’s, on Vimeo, as I’ve been out filming quite a bit of footage (little bit of colour correction I did today here) in practice for making a short film later this year. When I came across The Font Men, which inspired me to add another creation to my Made in 2016 list.

The documentary is about Jonathan Hoefler or Tobias Frere-Jones, two amazing font designers, and a look inside to there typographical world. I’d say more but honestly just watch the video and be blown away!

Watching this made me think that a font is something that I can create over time and add to, possibly do it as a one month project and create a letter a day then at the end of the month release the font. There’s an idea! And thats what I’ll do!

The great thing about me trying to create new things in different forms is that I’ve found myself branching out into areas I never would have and it really has opened my eyes and given me fresh ideas. If not for wanting to create a short film and researching on Vimeo, I would have never found the documentary. 

Be interested.

First DIY project update

This is just a quick update on how my first project is going. So I’ve decided the first thing on my Made in 2016 list I will cross off is... (drum roll) a Camera Dolly. I’ve started off the year with buying a Canon 1200D (which I will later review) so I can begin to do more video work, so this is a perfect first project!

So here the first lot of parts that have arrived for my little camera dolly. I’m making it out of a mish mash of parts. Those being:

Tripod Head

Skateboard trucks

U groove wheels

11 x 7 metal plate

More to come soon!
