5 Towers

5 Towers from Bill Leslie on Vimeo.

Shot more towers. After a discussion with Dean Kenning (first supervisor) it seemed that the least interesting aspect of the collapsing towers was the collapse. So I shot footage of constructions using the wind handle on my tripod to make shaky pans up and down. We also wondered what it meant to make a still moving image and perhaps this film approaches that question. There is so much movement even in a static shot when using 16mm. We also talked about cutting from the standing tower to the result of the collapse which happens at the end of this film. I'm not sure yet whether this is interesting or not, but the texture and feel of this footage I really like.
