Webcam / Screen Capture – 4′ 08″ – Amsterdam
Part of my project exploring the potential of Webcams as Emerging Cinematic
Medium, “Portraying A’dam” consists of a documental approach to the city of
Amsterdam, exclusively making use of the publicly-accessible Webcams
available on the 4th of October 2013. This film is composed by three chapters
of which only the third is shown at present. Entitled “Face to Ground”, this
chapter focuses on the extreme ability for the cameras to discern and
highlight identifiable people’s facial features, while also covering an enormous
amount of ground detail.
