My Life in Cinematic Moments

My recent fascination with photography and the technicalities of cinematography has led me to think about designing a series attachments for cameras. Each attachment should enable the projection and elevation of everyday life into something more 'iconic'. As we record and share our meaningless lives, we may need to enhance our capture and display techniques.

I envisage the objects to somehow support the act of photography, they could act as a filter or mask to the capture, or a support or rig to the context. I'm thinking of objects a bit like this:


this gives the rude boy car enthusiast a chance to make his 'ride' into something similar to 'The Fast and The Furious':


Or objects like these:


So my initial quick drawings are for two 'moments'... first, the Leone moment:


Second is the 'Close Encounter of the Third Kind" moment:


So i think the first thing to do is make low-tech gaffa tape and cardboard versions - what do you reckon?

  1. i just saw this and really really think it should be made. we could try experiments with a bike light which look so like ufo's that they might actually be them and are just hitching rides on our bikes to save fuel.
