Mini Movies

This is a series of mini movies I have made from personal projects. I like to be a bit more experimental with editing styles with these.

I was asked by the artist Eleanor Cunningham to explore the rich and varied geology of East Lothian's coastline. I also strayed into the Scottish Borders at the end.

Locations: Cockenzie, Longniddry Bents, River Tyne estuary, Dunbar and Cove.

Music: Far Beyond, by Chris Bussey, Craig Bussey and Michael Edward McLafferty - available on audionetwork.com

Here is a short video of the lovely Rock & Castle Escapes cabins near #northberwick in #eastlothian
