This is the final project of my Masters in Fine Arts in Digital Arts thesis.

It took this long to upload because it is slightly more complicated than just a video. I want to thank James for taking the time to make this possible. I was exploring the perception of the speed of time, and therefore, obviously, filmed a one-take short film with six simultaneous cameras. You, the viewer, get to choose which camera to view at any point in time. You might miss important points, you might find some shots slow and boring, you might get confused about what’s happening, you can’t go back, or skip ahead, but that’s all part of the point. Use the arrow keys to flip through cameras or the number keys (1-6) to jump to a specific camera…or watch it all the way through six times, it’s really up to you. Enjoy. (March 2016)
