weird how it feels like it speeds up as you become acclimatised to the pace
― plax (ico), Thursday, 12 August 2010 22:02 (thirteen years ago) link
It was shot at 1/2 speed or something, and practiced several times before the shoot. I haven't watched online so I have no idea how much you can hear, but in a theater the sound design is particularly amazing (and VERY much designed, although in a good way)

lol thats what i kinda wanna do mine in, well art theory but yeah

Haha, I just get scared of the anti-crit 'proper philosophers' that sometimes pop up on ilx. Although half of my undergrad was 'proper philosophy' anyway, so theoretically I shouldn't be so scared.
Art theory sounds cool - I found it a bit odd doing a dissertation on an artist as it's not really my field, but Porter's so intermedial that it comes as part of a much wider package.
