Created hastily as an abstract "instructional" video in response to friend's request for advice in the art. The herzog-esque voice-over was ad-libbed in a single take over the top of this footage, filmed at the very wet, Seventh West of England Scythe Competition and Green Fair on 12 June 2011 in Somerset, the music is "There Will Be Blood" by Jonny Greenwood from the film of the same name. The 5 x 5 event is a race to clear a five by five metre square of grass in the shortest time possible (only 1 minute and 37 seconds in the case of Simon Damant that year) greenfair.org.uk thescytheshop.co.uk
