Power of Place - Parkour video


During 2010 an exciting project: Power of Place – Shetland’s Year of Architecture and Place 2010 took place in Shetland.

Throughout 2010 Power of Place hosted: lectures, workshops in youth clubs, themed architectural articles, an international architectural conference, an architecture film festival, and held Architects’ Doors Open Days.

This short film about Parkour in Shetland features local Parkour group "Northern Focus Parkour" utilising Shetland's architectural environment.

The original footage is courtesy of Northern Focus Parkour (youtube.com) and mixed media animation was filmed and animated by Jono Sandilands (jonosandilands.com).

The Art of Ping Pong

The Art of Ping Pong Prototype #4 - Full Size from Jono Sandilands on Vimeo.

I have been developing my "The Art of Ping Pong" project in the very little spare time I've had over the past few weeks - have come to some conclusions about how to finalise the project, which I plan to exhibit in some form later this year! Ping Pong, Art and Beer!

The blog (www.theartofpingpong.blogspot.com) has a complete process of my work on the project so far, please follow for further updates and info on future plans!
