Hey guys!
So I was watching one of my all time favorite movies "Big Fish" this weekend and I thought I would just share a blog post about what I think is one of the best scenes in the movie.
Scene Shots
0:00-0:06-Series of Wide Shots
0:06-0:09-Medium Close Up
0:10-0:12-Very Wide Shot
0:12-0:16-Series of Medium Close Ups
0:17-0:20-Very Wide Shot (Freeze Frame)
0:20-1:00- Series of Wide Shots while the camera falls backwards through the setting of the scene.
This is my favorite part of the scene because Edward Bloom (The main character) is just walking through the scene while everything and everyone is frozen. It sort of has this really cool dream-like matrix effect to it and the moment seems magical and almost real.
The scene ends with some Medium Close Up Shots of Edward and Sandra Tempelton (The pretty blonde), Very Wide Shots and Wide Shots of the scene fast forwarding back to reality again.
This part where everything stops kind of makes the whole scene for me because it shows how life feels sometime when you just see that one person or experience that one thing and its like nothing else is going on and everything just stops or slows down as you just live through that moment.
Anyways if you haven't seen this film I highly recommend it!

Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T
