New Shoot

The setup:


So i hired a generator, got as many actors as I could and took a heap of photos with the spinshot and digital SLR. I've also documented it in video. The idea here was to allude to the battleship potempkin's 'odessa steps' sequence, which was a pivotal point in cinematic montage. It essentially deconstructs time, condensing an entire conflict into a 7 minute scene on the steps.

This moving image is made of 28 stills merging together:
