The video differs from the previous example as it is not all the same object, shot from various view-points, instead it is more a montage over four different panes or streams of video, the main focus was the ultra-macro closeness of each shot, particularly the opening four shots of skin, this is further intensified by the HD quality of the video. The HD aspect of the video is also the reason I cannot upload it to Youtube again, and so there are only the stills below.
Again I decided to use the empty panes as part of my idea, the videos often overlap, 'cascade'- where the same shot follows at a slightly delayed rate, and occasionally occupy only one quarter of the screen, leaving three quarters empty.
To achieve the extreme close-ups with the macro I taped a 6mm focal distance macro lens (designed for the holga) over the lens of the camera. This means that many of the shots tended to hover in and out of focus and gave a very shallow depth of field.
