Approaching Dusk

A short poetic mood film shot entirely on on iPhone as a study in working within strictly limited guidelines. The video was shot using a camera app that emulated 8mm film. All but one video stem are 12 seconds or shorter. The soundtrack was created after editing in my recording studio: music generated using software synths on iPad, poetic text read by the author. This was a mood piece first, intentionally nonlinear, and using what has been called Cubist editing style.
