A collaboration between myself and musician Simon Cullen (as part of his band project Le Bien). While I shot and edited the video, Simon worked on different iterations of the song. This allowed for an interestingly organic creative process, resulting in this strange film about horses and children trapped in adult bodies.

*This is the closest we ever came to getting arrested. A security guard in the back tried to stop us from dancing.
Also, this time we shot with an HVX instead of the PowerShot to try out vimeo's HDness

Inspired by the Slit Scan videos here on Vimeo, this is my first attempt using After Effects' Time Displacement effect. It's a bit chunky on the edges. I think this could be resolved with a much slower rotation or faster frame rate but my lo-tech studio limits me to a combination of 25fps and 33rpm. Having discovered this effect, I'm excited by its potential and will be experimenting further.

Music: Lessivé by Le Tone (maybe it's not Lessivé but it's at the end of that track on Le Tone's Le Petit Nabab album)
