SuperForest

Goooood morning, SuperForest!

A few weekends back the incredible Michelle Bonfils called me and asked if I’d like to go to and check out the Figment Festival on Governors Island. I couldn’t say no. I really love islands.

The idea behind Figment was a FREE two day arts and culture fiesta on lovely Governors Island off of the southern tip of Manhattan, with an enviro-sustaino-vibe, and anyone could bring anything they wanted, set up a display of their very own, just do their thing. It was great!

I shot this video with my flip, and I didn’t edit it at all, I just assembled the clips I’d shot in the order I shot them with no trimming whatsoever. Watching all the pieces in place, I really liked the nice, quiet tempo, like indie cinema, and so here we go:

Figment was fab. I’m excited for next year!

For more info, here’s the Figment site.
Here’s greendiary.com’s run down of some of the recycled art pieces displayed.

Au revoir, Figment! See you in 2010.
