Knitting Machine Perspectives

I wanted to do some short videos looking at different perspectives while I knitted on the knitting machine. It's nice to see what's actually happening up close and taking it's size out of context. This is a intimate and abstract look at my knitting machine, and how things often go wrong (sorry about the swearing). The videos are very short, I was just trying to work out what works so that I could maybe do a longer version for my final video project.

1. Trying out a direct perspective of what I see when I look down.



2. Me trying to then fix the knitting with a close-up of my hands while I do it.



3. Quickly panning over the needles in a close-up



4. From the perspective of the far-end of the knitting machine going forward. I like the extreme size of the end needles. I might try to do this one again but do it for longer.



5. From a lower perspective focusing on the knitting and the oncoming carriage.



6. This is my favourite. A long inside the carriage as it knits. Sadly my boyfriend who was filming while I knitted (which is a two-hand job) dropped the camera. I like this perspective, I will try it again.
