I set my friends a task -- to each draw me one line on a piece of tracing paper.
I then took that tracing paper and placed it over an A to Z, at once using and rejecting the map.

Then we followed the line.

The song in the second half of this video is "When We Live in Circles and Eat On Merry-Go-Rounds" by Driftless Pony Club from the album "Buckminster", used with permission of http://dftba.com.

Every once in a while I'll make one of these re-mapping videos. I'm really interested in mapping and love those artists who take glasses, draw a line around the rim on a map and then follow the line through gardens and elsewhere. I won't quite be fence-hopping, but I hope that as I move away from points of origination in central London, I'll be taking more and more peculiar routes.

  • I like the piece of music at the beginning, I've always had a fondness for classical instruments, used to play the trumpet.

  • @darth3pio Haha it's the iMovie jingle "Travel" I think.

  • @ellabooray They also, according to Lex on a piece of footage I had to cut out, "ninja". I give you this example, "ROSI THAT SQUIRREL JUST NINJAED THAT OTHER SQUIRREL IN MID-AIR".

  • This is a brilliant idea!

  • Anna is the greatest. <3

  • This is an amazing idea. I really want to do this when I'm travelling next year instead of using guidebooks and Google Maps.

  • This is officially one of my favorite videos ever. I love it :)

  • gah! such a good idea!

    OK I'm so doing this :)

  • @missxrojas I remember what it reminds me of, sounds a bit similar to the theme tune from House of Elliot.

  • This was so beautiful.

    You are so fucking talented.

    To think I watched a video of you a few years back and thought you were boring. But I either caught you on an off day or was far too immature to pay attention properly. Never change. The fault was with me.

    <3

  • I really really reaaally liked this, but I don't exactly know why!

  • Neat idea! I should try this some time! :)

  • this is a really cool idea. :]
