About the Project

Blue Notes is a visual short that follows a man on his deathbed, looking back at his life, not with regret or satisfaction, but rather, with curiosity of how things could have been different. With this project, we implemented a strong visual strategy through the classic 2D imaging technique one-point perspective. Virtually the entire piece is shot in this perspective as we blend together multiple worlds in (seemingly) one long shot to illustrate the continuous nature of time.
