smsd or ’slow-mots-stop-dols’ is an AV project between filmmaker paul stevenson of visual-hybrid and music producer screen3

The ’smsd’ Manifesto:

1 - Choose at random up to 5 stations for zones 1 & 2 of the London Underground network.

2 - Film visuals on super 8mm camera & record sounds at these locations in one day.

3 - Using only drum samples & the recorded incidental sounds from that day, create an audio track up to 5 mins long.(the use of guitars, turntables, keyboards etc is completely prohibited)

4 - The super 8mm film footage will then be cut & edited to the music track.

track 1. 'mr thomas is ill' - was filmed/recorded on 11/01/05
within randomly chosen areas of : bond street/ marylebone/
surrey keys/ lambeth north :

the smsd project provides a snapshot of city life in busy 21st century london.

Please do watch the other 2 parts in the smsd project:
track 2 - performance pressure

track 3 - the feed

Not yet dude, but I will when I get home or maybe at lunch.
This really annoying 'work' thing is getting in the way.
Hardly fair is it?

This video tests the conventions of what a MUSIC video is. It has music and video but no song. Created from a strict standard of rules, I'm amazed at what has been done. Especially keeping in mind that it was all shot in a day, and made for a song that didn't exist until AFTER the footage was taken. I applaud the creativity.

Thanks very much for all the feedback, especially as the nature of the project involves a fair bit of 'reading' etc prior to viewing which asks a lot of the viewer.

We are really chuffed at the feedback.. more smsd tracks coming soon..
