DAILIES
motion picture sketchbook
_Present day — 2023
After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit and finally publishing this little thing, I decided I’d finally had enough of the procrastination, perfectionism and pissing-about that had that had crippled my ostensible desire to make movies, and so I resolved to do something about it.
On the 11th of August 2023, I committed to feeding one motion picture once a day, every day, to the bottomless maws of Solitude Media™.
Ever since, this motion picture sketchbook has kept me sane with a daily chance to play, explore and experiment. To make mistakes and learn new techniques. To show up for myself even when I don’t want to. And finally got me writing again. More on that elsewhere, soon.
The term “dailies” comes from an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director was doing a good job.
Watch them all in reverse chronological order below, see two compilations of my favourite 100 from the first 500 days, as well as some stand-out examples. You can follow along in your feeds here.
