made on a shoestring with shoestring (for real)

So a new year and a new vid.Am into text as image and liked the idea of bringing that into movement. This was made with dance students from Newcastle College and filmed in Central arcade in Newcastle Uk. The writting is a homage to charles bukowski's poem 'it is the small things that sends a man to the madhouse' about how small things can cause us great harm. Thanks to Busker Bill who played behind us. The shoelace design was Mick Davies and Catherin Dufton helped put the moves together.

This was pretty cool! Unfortunately some of the laces and shoes color makes it hard to read, so I had to pause or go back to read it again (unless that was part of your project :P) this is a pretty interesting work though! It must have taken forever to tie those letters in, huh?
