Check out my new website where I have posted a couple of movie clips. The first is a documentary that readers of this blog may remember I made back at the start of my semester at ENPC. I had been asked to give a presentation as part of a language class on any topic that of relevance to engineering. Weary of Power Point, I decided instead to make a short film that I then presented to the class. Those who have studied under the French system will spot the strategic use of ‘articulateurs’. I would only like to add that I hope my French has improved somewhat since those heady first weeks of term.

The other clip I made using some panoramic photos that I took at the top of the ‘Gherkin’ in 2004. I found a programme that would string them all together. I then used imovie to make the photo pan and uploaded that mpeg to the web. This process was a bit laborious. Can anyone advise me if it would have been quicker to create a photocast instead?
