Challenge

Which camera feature would you like to question?
What's the method of experimentation?
How do you plan on documenting?

Give a brief 1 minute presentation proposing your research idea and process.

Experiment

m o b i l i t y is the key variable.

Questions:

Inspired by the nimble cinematography of Anthony Dod Mantle, Christopher Doyle, & Emmanuel Lubezki, how much impact does movement have on a scene?
How does the dance with the camera change the result or emotional resonance of a subject or object?
What message or feeling can movement/stasis translate?

Method

Shoot the same controlled scene/s multiple times with different stabalisers.
Scene: Vinisha Umashankar COP26 Speech
Stabalization tools: tripod v mononpod v plank v plank with two operators v handheld on wheely chair
Camera: GX80 m43 sensor, 1080p, 24fps
