The Sultan’s Elephant in Europe

A couple of people have been kind enough to leave nice comments after my photos of the Sultan’s Elephant in London, and asked about future dates. As far as I know, the Sultan’s Elephant will be appearing in Belgium and France later in the year:

Antwerp 6–9th July
Calais at the end of September

A couple of amusing videos

I was discussing Final Cut Pro and video editing in general with some friends the other night. We agreed that cheesy special effects filters are no substitute for good content and editing. I always think of this video as the benchmark for subtle use of effects.

Jesus, that’s really big! was my thought when I arrived to see the Sultan’s Elephant at Trafalgar Square at lunchtime today. Then, Jesus, and it’s sat down too!.
Unfortunately I turned up too late to see the elephant waking the girl up with a shower, then the little girl going for a stroll and letting kids [...]
