Diptyche Toy Army Parade celebrates China's 60 Years of Communist Rule lensbaby

China Celebrates 60 Years of Communist Rule. BEIJING : China's leaders marked their nations 60th anniversary, with a precision display of military bravado that included a female militia unit modeling red miniskirt, white jackboot uniforms, toting mini sub-machine guns, and a fleet of floats with representations of a giant fish and Mount Everest.
However, the video captured by cameraman, Dan Chung, utilizing a Lensbaby mounted to his Canon HD camcorder, and clever editing by Xiaoli Wang, their finished video short serves up their perspective without any verbal commentary. In terms of film theory; pure cinema.
Finished piece is basically a diptyche. Edited video cuts from 2 different stationary camera rigs; thus offering only 2 distinct sources of video footage to cut/edit from.

Source 1 is a stationary HD camcorder outfitted with a powerful telephoto lens for framing very tight close-up shots where perspective is virtually blown away, flattening the image altogether. Parade moves in and out of frame from left to right in slow-motion, showing everything in vivid, hyper-realistic detail; expressions on the faces of soldiers, detail of columns of tanks, missiles, and fighter jets followed by China's diverse cultural civilian representative groups in colorful costumes, dancing, waving flags and colorful ribbons, and riding ornate floats. Source 2 is also stationary HD camcorder outfitted with a lensbaby which shift the scale of China's military might down to what appeared to be a stop-action edited toy soldier parade. Awesome.
My Lensbaby is on order now.
