As part of my intention to produce my reflective essay as a video piece, I recently completed a route navigating round Lock Muick to Lochnagar via some other munros. I did this with the dual intention of filming footage and shooting stills. The stills to help consolidate the kintsugi images and the video to help illustrate (poetically if not literally) the themes and topics that the VO would be discussing.

This piece was an unexpected improvisation, whilst most of my “vlog” style discussion pieces are technically improvised, they are thought through and the structure planed (if not always written down) in advance. In this case it was entirely improvised as I had not expected to record it.

My final reflective submission will however be a more refined and pre-scripted VO merging the more formal and the poetic videos shared here. This is further building on my “Right to Roam” discussion piece that I filmed in responce to Charlie Hacketts seminar, that video is posted below.
