My Bio
My name is Ian J Walton, and I was born in Cheshire, England in 1980. After making lots of short videos with my dad’s old camcorder, I decided to go to college and study media. I did that for three years and made some good friends. I continue to make short films with the hope of one day making a feature. I made one film called Boas Can’t Sing which was screened at the Cheshire Film Festival and won two awards (big deal for me, I don’t win things usually). Having just completed my first animated short which took six months to complete, I am taking a short break, it won’t be a long one though because I love filmmaking so much I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’m sure that it’s the same for all filmmakers.
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?
I am financing The 1 Second Film because as soon as I read about it I fell in love with the idea! And I hope that you succeed in your goal. I am sorry that I am only donating 2 dollars but I am out of work at the moment and a little hard on cash.

Ian Walton's Perfect Moment

If you had to choose a 'perfect moment' from your life to make into a one-second film, what would it be?

My 1 second perfect moment from my life would be when I was riding my bicycle through a country road on a quiet sunny day last year, just above me a Sparrow Hawk was gliding along. When I looked up I couldn’t believe it, it was so silent and graceful I wanted to reach up and touch it. That was a quick moment that will stay with me forever.

    This week, we finally got Varnish installed on our servers. Varnish helps our Drupal site performance by making better use of cache to serve up content (instead of the database), and will allow our site to handle a lot more anonymous visitors (hopefully!).

    We are still making other site improvements. The site is still pretty slow, and we also need to improve performance for logged in users. Basically, there is a lot of tech to do. We don't have the resources to do everything, but we want to make  sure we make the most of what we have.
