Jammin' with Sam and Jack. :: Ba Illustration & Video.

Here's a little video I did as part of the CHANNEL project. Thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch during my show. :] I know there were some problems with showing the films at certain times- they were having a lot of technical difficulties. Hopefully in the next few weeks all the pre-recorded programs will be online for you to enjoy at your leisure. Without furthur ado...** This is in HD- so that means to see it's full beauty you want to FULL SCREEN this bad boy (and make sure the little 'HD' button is in blue- bottom right)** 

Hear more jams like this here.
Love you, Kimxo

Jammin'. CHANNEL :: BA Illustration & Video.

There is a short 5 min video that shows Sam and Jack jamming on the boat- Sam lives there with another friend. It's a beautiful place, with a beautiful vibe. Originally this was meant to be 20 min long as well, but I lost a lot of photos/videos due to a harddisk failure. Luckily, I've still got this to share. [:STREAMING LIVE HERE at 17:45

Natural Tie&Dye CHANNEL! :: BA Illustration & Video.

STREAMING LIVE HERE at 13:30
(Not in London? See what time it is here.) 

Spend 20 min with me today, and learn how to Tie & Dye your clothes the natural way- using dyes that can be found in nature & your kitchen!!
If you learn best by getting all the facts and having a friend explain it to you then the first 10 min is for you. I talk about loads of important things (like mordanting and making your own rubber bands and how not to achieve zombie hands!) in a vlog format.
If you learn best by just watching someone do it- then the last 10 is for you! A really pretty and detailed step-by-step video for the visual learners out there. All set to some beautiful music by Sam and Jack.STREAMING LIVE HERE at 13:30
(Not in London? See what time it is here.) 

This has been my baby for the last 3 months. Endless dye experiments and hours of planning and tests and sleepless nights of editing. I REALLY hope you enjoy it. It's silly and fun and hopefully you'll learn something new. [: I don't want to give too much away yet, you just gotta watch it! But besides leaving with a nice little bit of knowledge on Natural Dying, you'll also know 3 different techniques of tie dye! See you there!

March 2012- Home Movies :: Video & My life.

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now- I used to take lots of stopframe photos of my life, with the intention of compiling them into a video format- a sort of moving image of my life at that time. But it never got done.
With my new camera, it's a whole lot easier to record moments in this way, and I found myself taking more video than photographs! Which is quite exciting really. [: I'm calling this a 'Home Movie' because- in way, I guess, it is. It's got a very sentimental quality to it. Sort of half documentary, half home video. You'll also see clips of vlogs in here that I've tried making. haha. Enjoy:

Questions for Love Elycia & You! :: Vlog

Hello everyone! Love, Elycia and I are doing a fun little video series where we ask and answer fun questions! Here are my first questions for Elycia (and YOU too, if you want to play along- just link in the comments to your video responses or answer them with written words. :] Also if you want to ask us questions- feel free!)- enjoy!
 
P.S. I do realise I said 'reading' when you are clearly 'watching' near the begining and another word slip-up near the end. I'm only human. haha. 

Light tests. :: Video & My life.

Life lately has been FILMIMG and DYEING and then resting and then repeating! Like- it's not a bad life, but I just want to draw and knit! haha. Here are some photos of me doing light tests. These are the not-so-embarrasing ones. (OH... and that hanging up... that is a sneek at some new yarn coming to the shop!)Okay. Time to go edit and get sqaure eyes from watching myself say stupid things on camera! Love you! kxo
p.s. these are for college- the Channel project. Yes. It looks like a craft show... because it is! CRAFTING WITH KIM! Are you excited? I'm excited. 

In the car with Negs. :: Vlog&Video&Cats!

Here is a fun vlog I recorded while heading down to my folks' house.
It's got shots of Negs, chats about how she likes to be in the car, some english countryside, and a smile from mum.

Some of my favourite frames:How cute is that little nose misting up the window! She melts my little heart!Much love from Negs and me! <3

Jazz and Kim knit. :: Vlog & Video & Knitting.

Hi everyone! This last week I got a new camera! And it's does HD Video!!! I'm such a novice at this- but it's fun and I love learning new stuff. [: To test it out, Jazz came round and we made a silly video for you!

We are pretty much partners in crime- and I'm really really super happy to say that Jazz is going to be joining in on Art Equals Happy a bit more. We are setting up a bigger, better store which will feature her work as well as mine & no doubt we will make lots more silly videos to share! Hope you enjoy this, and are having a nice weekend. LOVE YOU! kxo
