an exercise in surveillance
A spontaneous excercise: filmed in one take, and largely composited in a single session.
Shot on the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, against a mural artwork. Footage was composited in NukeX, relying on a series of rotoscoped masks to deal with complex motion. At one point, my body slumps against the wall — falling behind footage it had previously occluded. The quote on the wall was composited, quoted from Jabberwocky by Lewis Caroll.
