WATCH NOW!: Dismaland - The Official Unofficial Film-A cinematic journey around Banksy’s Dismaland.

When I first heard about Dis­ma­land my ears lit-up. The place looked set to be an amaz­ing play­ground for mov­ing image expres­sion, I imme­di­ately wanted to film it.

With a strong his­tory of banging the refresh but­ton, I man­aged to score some ini­tial even­ing tick­ets for me and some friends. In typ­ical fash­ion, it’s abso­lutely pissed it down. That’s fine, I thought, cosy late sum­mer nights is not what this is about.

Water and cam­eras how­ever are not a match made in heaven, but a seasoned out­door film­maker makes do with what he can and I got a couple of shots in the can, with my tri­pod I might add. More import­antly, this open­ing sea­son trip also gave me an oppor­tun­ity to revel in the spec­tac­u­lar art on show, and reccy the site.

Sur­pris­ingly the next week I scored two more tick­ets for solo mis­sions to lay down some solid found­a­tions for the film. On an over­cast (dis­mal – per­fect) Wed­nes­day after­noon, after a pro­longed queue to get it, my poor tri­pod was refused entry, so I left it with the secur­ity guards and pushed on.

On entry to the now famil­iar bemuse­ment park, I was some­what deflated as I’d planned some cool exper­i­mental motion con­trolled shots, which are just impossible without a tri­pod. How­ever I dug deep into my aged sack of ini­ti­at­ive and man­aged to bag some free­style shots. The fol­low­ing week I scored yet two more tick­ets, my luck was in and my refresh but­ton skills val­id­ated – for a third time.
