Cardiff By Light: An N95 Experiment (Final cut)

This three minute film is an experimental representation of the light and illumination of Cardiff's urban and natural structures by night. We have addressed the issues of perception and reality and the effect of light on the atmoshpere of the urban surroundings which it illluminates. Shadow and darkness have been used to counterbalance the brightness of the continual 24 hour lighting that surrounds us. But most importantly we discovered a beauty in the urban street lighting that is too often overlooked and juxtaposed this with the artificial and somewhat disconcerting illumination of the city's contrived Christmas lighting.
All the material was shot using an N95 Nokia mobile phone and has enabled us to capture an illuminated journey of Cardiff in a unique and mobile way.
