  • I needed to cut a trailer of this for a few reasons so here it is. This is a very personal and emotive film, for me I truly think this is one of the best films I have ever made. It is a documentary told in a very unique way, mostly through the images and music. There is very little speaking at all. It was entirely filmed with the Fujifilm GFX 100 in Skiathos, Greece. See the full film here via the link in my bio or head to YouTube.com/Philipbloom Please help the Skiathos cats, they need your help more now than ever as they have lost their fight to stay where they are and are now homeless. The fundraiser is here:  http://bit.ly/skiathoscatsfundraiser @fujifilm_northamerica @fujifilm_northamerica @fujifilmx_us @fujifilm_global @skiathos @skiathoscatwelfareassociation @skiathoscatgiftshopadoption
  • One year ago today I held my little girl as she was put to sleep after a sudden short illness. As she slipped away I whispered to her how much I loved her. I’ve had some painful experiences in my life but this was the most painful thing I have experienced. Many who read this won’t understand. They will see “just a cat” but to me she was so much more than that. She was the most wonderful friend and companion you could ever want. For 18 years she was by my side, for such a tiny cat she was a huge presence in my life. Through the good and the bad she was there. She was more than my best friend, she was my therapist, my shoulder to cry on, she brought me such joy and such love. She was the constant in my life and when she was gone my life felt so empty. Losing her hit my so hard it badly affected all aspects of my life for many months. Even now thinking about her makes me upset. At some point I hope when I think of her it will be the joy that I will remember. She had a great and a long life. I am lucky that we found each other. Noodle you made me love cats and you were the best thing to ever happen to me. @thebloomcats Percy and Bertie miss you terribly as do all the people who met you and fell in love with your instantly. You will never be forgotten. 💔💔💔💔
  • Along with my extensive use of the @GNARBOX 2.0 over the past 6 weeks I have tested out to see just how easy it is to use for non professionals. At times I perhaps was a bit too optimistic... My full review should be out next week. Thanks to my lovely Harriet of @thebloomcats for her help and accurate impersonation of an bad assistant on a shoot! 🤣 “Bad cat” from @audionetwork
  • I did post this as part of a set but it needs to be posted on its own. A great photo by @sarahseal of me lining up the @venuslaowa probe lens on the @gudsenmoza Slypod with the @thelittlejetcompany Sea Dart nose. Camera is the @sonyalpha A7III. The @accsoon_tech cinema eye on the camera i am using as a wireless transmitter to monitor on my iPad. Swipe to see a couple of clips.

  • These are the exact memory cards I used to shoot my new film “Charmolipi” (link in bio) The videos and photos came to 2.7 TB and I used the @fujifilmx_uk #GFX100 The bitrate for 4K is 400mbps and the photos are HUGE! I did do a lot of driving shots so they took up a lot of data. Not a single interview though for this documentary. If you haven’t seen the film yet please do. It’s the best thing I have made in years! The @gnarbox 2.0 that you can see behind was so useful in managing all this media and not having long backups when I got back to the room. I was also able to do a bit of organising and labelling in the app before I offloaded the Gnarbox to my hard drives. I will have a video about it soon! I haven’t been able to bring myself to format these cards yet as the footage is so special to me. I have 4 backups. I am fine. I am not sure I have felt like this before!
  • Harriet is very pleased she won and very happy to be living with us all in England. Thank you @icatcare for choosing our photo and for the £500 which I am sure @skiathoscatwelfareassociation can find a good use for 🙂 @thebloomcats Swipe to see winning photo clearer.
  • Here is another teaser for you! This will be my first ever "YouTube Premiere" this evening. It is for my film "Charmolipi". This is a true labour of love filmed during my time in Skiathos last month. It will be basically be like watching it go out for the first time. It starts at 730pm UK time. You cannot fast forward but you can rewind and pause. After the film has finished you can watch it just like any other YouTube video. I will also be doing a chat, I think it lets you do it whilst it is playing but I am a bit reluctant to do that until it is over as I want people to concentrate. Anyway let's see how it goes. The link is the image below. I hope to see you there. Link in my bio Music is from @audionetwork
