First sequence with sound

Here we have the first section of the video that is near completion, set to the music, roughly as it will apear in the final video. there are some closeup shots to be cut in and the colours may need more tweaking. Be assured it looks far more impressive in all its crisp uncompressed glory!



The song is Dont Falter by Order of Voices

New Shop, New Pens!

I have recently been making brass dip pens. Individualy turned by hand on my little old lathe, filed, polished and finished with precious stones. Each pen is a one of a kind precision drawing instrument. And now they are for sale on my new Etsy shop. Each pen is stamped with a unique number depending on how recently it was made, I am up to number 12 so far.






head over to www.etsy.com/shop/HarryShotton to view the individual pens and my other items for sale!
