FLOAT by Stephen Watkins
Backspace is a new video podcast showcasing "experimental short films to provoke your imagination." It's created by 20-year-old Stephen Watkins, who describes it as follows:
"Backspace is my Honours year research project in Communication Design at RMIT University (Melbourne). I was intrigued by podcasts and their growing popularity. Through my research project I generated a series of short experimental films and I could see potential for a podcast to circulate these films to a wider and more diverse audience."
He's only released one episode so far, FLOAT, which features animated letters and numbers floating around Melbourne. It's well worth a view. I've already subscribed to his podcast and look forward to future episodes. He also has some other interesting video projects posted on YouTube.
