Repeated Swing Bag getting progressively slower.

I took a clip from the swing bag video, and repeated it, making each clip slower, so as you watch the video the speed reduces.

Body Pad

This is a video where i am punching someone with a body pad on, i cropped little sections out from the full video and put them together to make this short video.

Long Bag Mixed Speeds.

Playing around with slow motion and normal speed in one video, slowing down certain parts of the video.

Long Black Bag in Slow Motion

I reduced the speed of the video to 25%, making it much slower. I like how the bag swings so dramatically in this one.

Long Bag in Slow Motion

This Video I made is using the GoPro Head cam again but on a different bag. I decided this one looked better in slow motion, so i reduced speed to 50%. I like the way you can see the bag crease as the glove hits it, and i also love the sound in slow, it seems exaggerated, and creates a powerful sound.

Swinging Punch Bag

This is my first video that i made using a GoPro action camera which I scraped to my head. 

What I am most pleased with in this video is how the movement of my body is captured as well as the movement of the punch bag, what is also effective is how the bag swings towards the camera. I decided to change the colour to black and white because it them simplifies it down so that rather then focused on colour, you focus purely on the movements. 

When viewing the video the bag is swinging back and forward into the camera, almost similar to the feeling of when you are in the ring and someone is throwing punches towards your face, it gives a similar feeling, and also a feeling of anxiety. 

Sam Taylor-Wood - Prelude in Air

Sam Taylor-Wood/Johnson

Looking again at the work of Sam Taylor-wood I came across a Video that she made of Two Professional boxers, the Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir. She filmed them immediately after each of them had a fight. The video shows ver little movement, it is almost very calming, just watching their chest rising and falling as they breathe. What interests me is the total calmness that they are shown in on the video and how it is a total contrast to what they have just been through in the ring. Click here to view the video

Sam Taylor Wood talking about her piece 'Sigh'. Click here to view What I really like about this piece is the multiple screens that she shows the different videos on, and how they interact with each other as one piece rather then it feeling like separate videos. The way we view the work is also interesting because you are able to walk around and in-between the screen, creating more of a personal interaction with the viewer, and making them feel surrounded.
