The Island is a 2005 American science fiction action thriller drama film directed by Michael Bay, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. It was released on July 22, 2005, in the United States and was nominated for three awards, including the Teen Choice Award.
It is described as a pastiche of "escape-from-dystopia" science fiction films of the 1960s and 1970s such as Fahrenheit 451, THX 1138, Parts: The Clonus Horror, and Logan's Run. The film's plot revolves around the struggle of McGregor's character to fit into the highly structured world he lives in, isolated in a compound, and the series of events that unfold when he questions how truthful that world really is. After he learns that the compound inhabitants are clones who are used for organ harvesting and surrogate motherhood for wealthy people in the outside world, he escapes.
The film cost $126 million to produce. It earned only $36 million at the United States box office, but earned $127 million overseas, for a $162 million worldwide total. The original score for the film was composed by Steve Jablonsky, who would go on to score Bay's further works. It was also the first film directed by Bay that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

The Isle of Sheppey is an island off the northern coast of Kent, England in the Thames Estuary, some 46 miles (74 km) to the east of London. It has an area of 36 square miles (93 km2). The island forms part of the local government district of Swale. Sheppey is derived from the ancient Saxon "Sceapige", meaning isle of sheep, and even today the extensive marshes which make up a considerable proportion of the island provide grazing for large flocks of sheep.
Today's island was historically known as the "Isles of Sheppey" which were Sheppey itself, the Isle of Harty and the Isle of Elmley. Over time the channels between the isles have silted up to make one continuous island. Sheppey, like much of north Kent, is largely formed from London Clay and is a plentiful source of fossils. The Mount near Minster rises to 250 feet (76 metres) above sea level and is the highest point on the island. The rest of Sheppey is low-lying and the southern part of the island is marshy land criss-crossed by inlets and drains.

---------- Please Subscribe for new video every Friday 10AM! ----------- PLEASE DONT ASK FOR LOCATIONS --your comments will be removed !! This location was fenced off and there was no easy way in without climbing a fence, so I just filmed the outside. This shelter was built in WWII as a Civil Defence surface shelter. The shelter was reused in 1955 as a Cold War sub control. The shelter was closed in 1968 following the stand down of the Civil Defence and was not used again. Today the bunker lies in a overgrown compound next to a car park and the future is unknown. more information here: http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/q/queenborough/index.html
So guys, all I can say is I tried something different. But it is all evolving around the same key idea of exploring old forgotten locations, but it was done in a documentary style way. I understand that this may not be for all of you but I always think it's good to experiment every once in a while, I must point out that the footage used in this is not all 100% accurate to the Isle Of Sheppey but it does represent what happened there. By the way, I only have one more week left of school and then I'm off for Easter Break, which means a lot more exploring and filming for you guys. This was the hardest video to makes due to the hours of editing and voice over work I had to do for it, so I hope it was worth it for you. But anyways guys I hope you enjoyed the video and I will see you in the next...

A collaboration with writer Rachel Lichtenstein, "A Study for the Estuary" was made following our residency at the end of June 2011 on board the Dutch barge Ideaal. This project, set up by painter Simon Callery and curator Ben Eastop, and funded by the Arts Council, seeks to examine the Thames Estuary as it undergoes a period of change. A diverse group, also including archeologist of the recent past Sefryn Penrose, experimental cartographer Luke Eastop, and composer John Eacott, set out on the Estuary for 5 nights, reacting and recording our experiences of that nefarious space. "A Study for the Estuary", which is intended to be the start of a long process of engagement with the Thames Estuary, charts the group's progress from Queenbrough, across the shipping channels, to the pier in ...

A 2 day trip from Faversham Creek to Rainham, via the Swale, Sheppey Bird Reserve, Deadman's Island (where we camp) and Darnet Island. Sorry the audio is a little out towards the end of the film, in places the camera clicks are a second behind the film, the original film isn't like that, it's just the way that vimeo is playing it back to you. For best playback, try to get along to one of my exhibitions or film shows. Thanks

They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
Ant we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future thru' the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone.
But hey! Don't listen to me!
Cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I want to take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when there's no one around
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory
But hey! Don't listen ...
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on Main Street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
