Bondi Festival of Wind
Rhythm and observation . Or research and juxtaposition??? This is a chance to put into praise stuff I've been learning at film school. I went down to the Bondi kite fest, to shoot some 'observational' footage, and cut it up into two videos. One focus's on the kite professionals who cordoned off a section of beach, and filled the air with an amazing variety of land tethered flying machines. The second video is all about the amateurs. those folks who filled the grassy area behind the beach and throwing caution and canvas into the air. Decided after extracting a series of short narratives (peoples kite flying adventures) to try interleaving a lot of the action. Bondi Wind Festival 09: The Pro's
