White Prism - Patience
This. Video. Is. Rad. Just when you thought time lapses were totally over and too often utilized in nature documentaries, just when you thought Second Life was relegated to a 2005 joke, director Dan Huiting comes along to show us you can always breath new life into old tricks / virtual worlds. He teamed up with new artist, the Australian-born, Brooklyn-based White Prism, a.k.a. Johanna Cranitch, to create these stunning visuals for "Patience"—which ironically is exactly what he needed to make this happen.
"The video was shot over a week in my neighborhood of Brooklyn," explains Cranitch. "We did hyper lapse filming so it meant taking painfully long to walk a NYC block (like an hour) because everything was filmed a certain way to create the affect. Dan then drove around till all hours by himself filming the sunsets and sunrises. It was definitely a labor of love for sure."
Brooklyn and New York looks totally cartoon-ized as Cranitch rolls through the city at warp speed, seemingly hovering inches from the ground. Wish it was possible to move through life so speedily and so smoothly. Sonically, "Patience" is a clean, 80s-angled, synth-pop cut—assured and very cool. Nicely done.
