Today is my good friend Jem’s birthday! She’s an award-winning producer here at Aardman Digital and is a lovely lady indeed. All of the gang took a trip into the centre of Bristol at lunch to get a birthday burrito, so I took my camera out and shot a bunch of film, because we got the river ferry into the centre, which is always fun!

I shot it all on the 550D, so with an hours shooting and then just 20 minutes or so in iMovie, I made the above film. It’s un-graded and un-polished but I love that in a really short space of time you can capture something and put it together in a watchable format. The DSLR Video has really sped-up the ability to make fun little edits, thank god I don’t have to capture footage anymore!

Anyways, hope you enjoy the video and Happy Birthday Jem!
