a matter of confidence

‘LA Light’ is an arrestingly beautiful short film shot and produced by Colin Rich that readily captures the electric brilliance of Los Angeles at night. The film itself is composed of thousands of time-lapse photographs shot across a six-month period that have been colour-corrected and shaped together to form a narrative tale of the scale and perspective of the city and its monuments.

The wide-angle vistas make the city appear to be almost tranquil at night, but the more intimate shots of buildings, streets and intersections make you re-evaluate those opinions as you feel the relentless buzz of activity. The Cinematic Orchestra’s ‘To Build A Home’ provides the perfect musical accompaniment to do justice to these lovingly created visuals. As Rich himself notes:

Shooting time lapses is a labor of love and a study in patience.

I couldn’t have put it better myself.
