Update: January 17, 2008

I created five Lumiere videos between June 27 - July 22, 2007, in response to encouragement from fellow vlogger Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen. It was fun. My videos, along with those of many others, were linked to from videoblogging.info.

In August 2007, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen and Brittany Shoot published the Lumiere Manifesto. I wish to publicly state that I disagree with most of the manifesto content, and that my Lumiere videos should not be construed as an endorsement of the manifesto. I am not interested in engaging in a conversation about the manifesto’s relative merits, or what I view as problematic. I simply wish to disassociate my work from it.

Original Post

There is something poetic, sad, and true about this struggle. Aren’t there days when you feel like this? And in a sense, isn’t this all our lives? We struggle to keep righting ourselves, until the end. This bug is my hero.

For the record, I did not put the bug in the jar. My husband did. I think my cat had been playing with it, and then my husband, very cat-like at times, chose to continue the game in an even more cruel way. I went out to check the laundry and saw this, and the metaphoric quality punched me in the gut. Had to show you.

Thus I shot my first Lumiere video, though I’m not certain I met the rule about fixed camera. I had to hold it in my hand as there was no good place for a tripod or for setting it down. See more Lumiere videos and learn the rules at videoblogging.info/lumiere.
