a challenge to see how much my phone can endure
50/50 - film as a shared experience of creation. Expressing my appreciation of cinema throughout the past century, I selected 50 of my favourite films / film stills to emulate, from the mood, costume, colorgrading, to the aspect ratio. This challenge aims to push the boundaries of what a $0 budget and a small camera (Canon G7X) or phone can do, as most shots were done by myself. I also wanted to display the range of film styles, both evolving and influencing each other over history.
