March 22, 2010 at 14:19Really well done Phillip. Visually, I think this one of my favorites of yours. Kind of gave me the shivers although I am sure it was pretty darn hot.

March 26, 2010 at 00:02I think I have to leave a longer comment, as wrote in my other reply: The art of creating something from nothing. I think that’s the power (impact) from most of your movies. Yoy just out some simple ordinairy objects in front of your camera and you know how to create a catchy atmosphere. Just like the people form… series… just people in front of your lens.. but it creates a perfect atmosphere that inspired me.
Years ago I worked as and assistant for for one of the most famous Dutch Photographers… and he got the same talent.. He could create a perfect photo with anyone in front of the lens.
At that point I still jave to learn… It’s not just the subject… it’s the creator that makes the image. The same story about this short film. How many props do you need? nothing more than a beach with an old caravan and you can create something.. big?
It’s a matter of lookin’ with the eyes of a talent. That makes the difference in this situations. For me the movies of Philip gives me the inspiration, the inspiration to take my camera out of the suitcase and to get on the street to make a film.. a film from ordinary situations.
It’s a matter of focussing on situations other people don’t notice. Philip thanks again,… I will get out out the door next week and try to make a movie within five minutes from home, a good movie (short) is just a few minutes from home for eveyone.
That’s the reason why i visit the Bloom site every day: the inspiration!

April 6, 2010 at 01:36I love your framing in this one. Some are unbalanced. Some are higher than I’d expect. I think the subject matter forced you into a different creative mindset than Skywalker and it really showed in some of the really interesting and unusual framings you shot in this film.
I love the mixture of live sound- desolation.
and I think we actually witnessed your first rack focus with a vDSLR?
I’d really love for you to make a blog post on finding your music because I think you have a real skill for choosing appropriate music to accompany your works.
Yes, there’s a process by which I’m sure you get permission to use music for public display and syncing to your video, but how do you come across such tracks? In casual listening, through recommendations of others, Cd’s sent to you? Do you use a music finding tool and select type of music, guitar, desolation and then listen to some suggested tracks? How do you maintain such a body of musical knowledge to pick from? Do you try several tracks before you settle on one? or do you go in to the shoot with the music picked out and it affects the shots you record?

April 25, 2010 at 19:39How did you protect all your equipment from the sand?
I nearly ruined my tripod on the beach last week.

August 27, 2010 at 04:45Mr Bloom. i had a problem. Please reply me.
How did you protect the camera from Dust and sand? because the body is 550D is not weather Resistance. The dust is more harmful for the cam. also in the beach sides, salty wind is not good (i think may be i’m wrong).
So tel me how did u protect 550D?
