Part 5: Expansion
NOTE: TURN THE HD BUTTON ON (TOP RIGHT OF MONITOR) TO WATCH IN HIGH DEFINITION.
A 42 minute full high-definition film to compositions from The Rooms, shot on location in Iceland. The film, a collection of abstract and ambiguous mood paintings, uses the hugely diverse Icelandic landscape of ice and fire as a metaphor for different states of being, echoing the journeys taken on the album. The project was shot using specialist camera technology to capture extreme slow motion details of geothermal activity and waterfalls, and from the air using an ultra-smooth gyro- stabilised camera mounted on a helicopter. The film is an opportunity to ëlet go of the mapÃ, drop a little deeper and see things from a new perspective.
