I've been thinking about creating a video of my writing with a flexible nib pen. When I write I often imagine that the pen is dancing. Sometmes the nib flashes as my desk light reflects off of it. Then I saw a video posted by my Twiiter friend @bleubug and was convinced I wanted to do it.
Here is my first ever attempt at putting together a video.
It was hard writing and holding the camera for parts of the movie. Once I got the tripod out I couldn't figure out how I could orient the camera for a better view. Also being camera shy, I couldn't concentrate on my writing while we were "rolling" film, so there were a few mistakes. But that's ok, after all it is handwritten, not word processed.
I hope you enjoy it!

You did great. Impressive you could still write perfectly even while holding the camera in the other hand. You are right it really does seem to dance across the page.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Hard to believe you are able to write so beautifully with the pen in one hand, camera in the other. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed, too! And what a great example of a flexible nib in action!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great video. I know how hard it is to get those shots right. I'm jealous of your handwriting as usual.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job. It was interesting to see the side view of the nib in action. Your video makes me want to try a flex nib, but I know my handwriting would not be nearly as nice.
ReplyDeleteMost impressive !!! Beautiful job with the handwriting and the video.
ReplyDeleteI just bought that pen last week, and coincidentally have it filled with Kon-peki as well. I'm still trying to get used to the flex, so this is a great demonstration!
ReplyDeleteI love the video - and what better promotion for the pen? Thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeletei could watch this video for hours.
ReplyDeleteWay cool. I loved the close up of the flexing nib the best. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, I loved the video & your hand writing is superb.
ReplyDeleteLovely Engrosser's Script! I know nothing about fountain pens, and I didn't realize flexible nibs were available for them. I enjoyed seeing the close-up of the nib - very interesting. Thank you for your nice comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jane, your script is lovely! You did a fine job on your first ever video post and I loved that you pointed out it was hand written not word processed! I need to find one of those beautiful pens in my area! Thank you for sharing, all my best!
ReplyDeleteMr. Grease Monkey,
ReplyDeleteVery well done! Your passion blesses us! That takes the guess work out of "should I or shouldn't I",get the pen, as it is pretty pricey!
