Nikonian Rhapsody
Loading ...Is this the real life /
Is this just fantasy?
Imagine what it would be like if you had a camera mounted on your head,
with a chance to see the simple beauty in what might be otherwise considered
an average day.
Starting with the everyday morning routine,
then a walk to work through the city and a sunset on the beach,
This video will show you the world through the lens,
on my face…
Written, Directed and Created by Carter Smith & Tommy Douglas

Interestingly surreal…

I find this an interesting allegory for the modern human. Everyone is a photographer of sorts. Everyone is an image maker.

December 18th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Eck1958, are you talking about the cold product ad with the person’s head being a giant nose? No relevance to this completely original film.
