TIMELAPSE (2019)

3:30 | Documentary

An attempted timelapse is thwarted.

This happened as I was setting up to film a sequence in Hancheng, China. On the previous day I saw a downpour completely transform the landscape as rain cleared the pollution and fresh blue sky revealed the city beneath. Now that the smog had returned I took a chance on capturing a repeat show but attracted the attention of these super-friendly locals, who were curious about the bald, bearded white man.  Nobody understands each other but smiling goes a long way.
