Macro lens experiment

Taking advantage of this fickle summer weather and its tedious storms, I grabbed my macro lens and ran out into my garden to record some b roll. It was really beautiful the way the water droplets clung to the leaves and flowers, and in utilising a macro lens, I was able to really capture that crystal like imagery. These gifs are just some highlights of this experiment shoot.

In part of our concept ideas of reversing the structure of time, I played around with pouring water over some leaves as well as lighting a dried rose on fire, and I was very pleased with the results. It’s a simple idea, but its visual concept is very strong and conveys a solid message in an abstract, figurative way.

Side note: If it wasn’t obvious yet, I discovered Imgur Gif maker and I’m kinda obsessed. So forgive me for the bombardment of gifs
