DAILIES
motion picture sketchbook
_Present day — 2023
After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit and finally publishing this little thing, I decided I’d finally had enough of the procrastination, perfectionism and pissing-about that had that had crippled my ostensible desire to make movies, and so I resolved to do something about it.
On the 11th of August 2023, I committed to feeding one motion picture once a day, every day, to the bottomless maws of Solitude Media™.
It’s coincided with a difficult phase of life, but this motion picture sketchbook has kept me sane with a daily chance to play, explore and experiment. To make mistakes and learn new techniques. To show up for myself even when I don’t want to.
The term “dailies” comes from an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director was doing a good job.
Watch them all in reverse chronological order below, see two compilations of my favourite 100 from the first 500 days, and follow along in your feeds here and/or here.
