I created this promo film during the first 3 weeks of the 12 week course to attract interest in this way of life and attract more students.
The 3 month Permaculture and Eco-build course was combined with theory modules run by the resident soil scientist.
At this stage of the course everything was running smoothly and Covid-19 was a 'foreign' news story and hardly mentioned.
I created this promo film during weeks 4 to 7 of the 12 week course to update on the projects progress and attract interest in this way of life and attract more students.
Please watch the Full Feature Film to see the time-lapse of the house construction and the story unfold, along with the consequences of Covid-19 disrupting all plans.
I created this film in 2000 at Suryalila in Andalusia during what became the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I was participating in and documenting a 3 month Permaculture and Eco-build course when the pandemic emerged.
A wonderful team of students and teachers lived together in this yoga community working the land through cycles of growth and completing from scratch an eco-build cob house.
I shot this time-lapse over Suryalila in 2000 during the first covid-19 lockdown whilst living in this yurt with my campervan beside. It was picked up and used by BBC Breakfast and The Times Online.
I had to manually wipe the lens every 30 seconds to remove the mist from the glass, and do it quickly before the next shutter opening.
I was freezing and wet from the mountain dew as i sat there for 6 hours throughout the night unable to move far as I had to manually press the trigger every 30 seconds.

In 2001 a fly landed on my hand and we chatted, I felt its presence, the oneness, and imagined a past spirit.
Giving the tiny bugs voices seemed a beautiful way to pass on lifes lessons, have fun, and raise awareness of the miracles of life around us at all times.
The idea is to create a series that raises vibration through SOLAF - Spirituality, Oneness, Love And Fun.
