Where’s The Real Emma Peel?
The number one reRun girl of my dreams when I was a kid begat “Where’s The Real Emma Peel?”, part of an ongoing documentation project I started during quarantine.
In this case it’s a panoramic walking tour of my studio emphasizing its dream-state vibe, painted with LoRes strokes by a cheap-o camera.
Like the rest of the videos on this site, I composed and performed the music (this soundtrack is an old 4-track demo), then did the photography & editing last weekend.
This was an unplanned project, out-of-the-blue as these things usually are.
