09400 - Portrait of a village (2003)

A good set of images that make a film not many will see in its entirety, almost timeless

It takes either strong will or great interest to stick with this type of video for me. I was reminded of strolling into an art gallery where on the 5th floor there is a darkened room with sounds and flashes of light emitting. You briefly scan the A4 text outside describing whats in store and head into the darkness, you stand behind the others of which you assume began watching from the start, after a brief moment your heading back out uttering 'what a heap of crap'. However I enjoyed the the just good enough image quality. After watching some of you other videos tonight Im seeing your thinking, the compositions resonate. The content and editing made it so compelling to watch till the very end. Timeless and inspiring. Subscribed.

Thank you Michael. I did think twice about uploading this video, I did it a long time ago and it's not really in line with my other videos, but I do think it has some strange quality. Had it been in glorious 4K it wouldn't have been as interesting. It's like watching someone else's dream. This is one of the differences between 'art' and 'commerce' (not that I claim this film to be art!) or craft. Art takes you into another realm, another reality. You can have something that is perfect technically but utterly dead emotionally. The original film is actually twice as long, so think yourself lucky!

the framing at 7:08 is brilliant

This I found very hard to digest. However something kept me watching until the very last frame. Full length version is twice as good, right?

damn. i'd complain too. i'd also make the same film you made if i wasn't so consumed by single images. nice vid.

Isn't that what they call live photos nowadays? Also reminds me of Alec Soth's Summer Nights in a way. What do you think of his work?
