People in Order by Lenka Clayton & James Price

I have found four short documentary videos and decided to share it with you as I think this is something worth watching.

These videos were made by two British artists Lenka Clayton and James Price who is the founder and the owner of Field Studies Ltd, a production company that aims to take a close look at the world we live in.

It's interesting what changes and differences you can observe without leaving home. I like the idea of travelling around Britain, filming random people and making them a part of very absorbing project. When I was watching it for the second time I focused on the background. How people are living, what they're wearing, etc. and I saw a wide cross-section of the Brits.

Here's a more detailed description of the project taken from James Price's website:

 

The concept behind our films was simple: we asked ourselves if you can reveal something about life by simply arranging people according to scales. Three minutes is a very short time to communicate something – perhaps too short to tell a story, or to get to know a character – so we wanted to make this series by setting ourselves some very straightforward rules, and then following them through over a long trip.(...) Then it was a case of getting in a campervan and driving round Britain, filming as many people as we could over 4 weeks in February, coping with microphones crackling and our camera refusing to work.

 

I hope you'll enjoy it and get inspired to make your own project!
