[4K] The Colours of Late Autumn | Fujifilm X-T20
I stumbled upon a congregation of giants, their rock-skinned faces soft and damp to touch. Countless yellow fingers sprouted their many arms, adorned with odd clusters of red and blue. Here, I glimpsed the vibrant joys of mid-November; a season of dullness witnessed for the deciduous beauty it discloses to the patient and gentle.

Here's an attempt to create something quiet, slow and beautiful from one my favourite video game series. Where Ubisoft suggest that surveillance capitalism and techno-militaristic states can only be overcome through protest and violence, I believe that contemplation is, in reality, a more powerful weapon: a rebellion against the culture of speed, distraction and anger so conducive to reinforcin...

For the past decade, I've been fascinated by the ways in which cameras can transform our perception of time and space. When seen through a viewfinder, seemingly anything can become a revelation of beauty, or else the subject of intense contemplation. Photography is the witness of a world redeemed from insignificance. I spend a fair amount of time sitting at my desk adjacent to the window, and i...
Noise

I drew my attention into the darkness, and all I saw and heard was noise; the image between objects, the sounds between words, the space between places drowning in the polluted tides of a static ocean, head pushed beneath the waves. The war of the ants is fought at sea.

'Ma' is, as such, what we see when nothing confronts us: not in the absence of confrontation, but in ...

For Gerard Manley Hopkins, everything in the universe is characterised by 'inscape': the distinctive, dynamic design that constitutes all individual identities. Humans, as the most individually distinctive beings, are able to recognise other inscapes in the act of 'instress', allowing us insight into God's divine creativity through a contemplative engagement with our surroundings.

    I've it in the Italian language version, released by Magic Press in 2008, collected in a single book "l'alba del guerriero" (there are more volumes released by Magic Press). I have to say that looking at the original speech balloons, it looks way better than smaller and squeezed font in the Italian version. I only have maybe one or two original progs but hope it's never too late to start collecting it.

    Are the trees themselves beautiful enough to be filmed without context? If so, then why are none of the shots longer than 10 seconds? instead of contemplating the subtle majesty of nature the short seems to want to be over as soon as possible. Why can we only hear a minimalist, amorphous score? Aren't we missing something crucial to wind in the trees if you cut the sound? When Griffith directed he combined numerous techniques and perspectives to push the medium of film, and there was always something connecting each different take, cut to cut. All these clips seem disjointed as they fly by, blending together. Like watching a long line of train cars passing; Yes their all different and they may contain unique cargo, but why should I care?

    • @strontiumblog
      @strontiumblog 6 років тому

      Thank you for your comment, this is a really interesting response. I will first admit that at least part of my decision to only shoot short clips was a matter of practicality, since I was limited by battery life and space on my SD card. As regards for the sound, again, I have very limited sound recording apparatus, so that fed into my decision to implement limited an amorphous understand (edited from recordings of wind). That said, I understand your concern. The way I see it, however, is that a contemplative film's disjointedness is precisely why it can be interesting: because each scene or shot or composition does not flow directly from any pattern or narrative development, the viewer becomes attentive to every subtle detail, responding to each moment as it emerges on the screen (rather as consequence to an over-arching narrative system that is rarely evident in our actual experience of the world). This is inspired by my broader views on the aesthetics of nature (of which I am writing about for my undergraduate philosophy dissertation): I think we need to be more contemplatively open to respond to unexpected changes in external (and internal) stimuli in order to appreciate what each moment is disclosing, or presenting to us. I don't think pre-defined narrative arcs that we expect cinema to provide can really justify the essential spontaneity of beauty's disclosure in our ordinary experience of nature. The minimalist sound hence further invites us into a contemplative engagement with an aura of unexpected revelation. I apologise, however, if I have offended you. I do not wish to challenge or undermine developments in cinema; I wish only to explore and understand how we should engage with the world.

    Thanks for watching Tyreiss - it was a very strange, but inarguably rewarding experience. I was expecting it to be considerably more miserable than it actually was... we heard stories of survival and goodness that happened within these horrible conditions, which I brought back as being as (if not, more) powerful as the suffering that was endured, with all respect to those that did suffer. Maybe it's my emotional ego preventing me from fully comprehending the severity of the situation, but to think that even a simple act of kindness could exist in such a backdrop, and that people have survived such experiences, really does give me a bit more hope in humanity.
