we wanted the breathing to feel organic in this spot and to create a series of low-key connections that happens across a large city but almost under the radar, almost within the imagination. all effects were achieved in camera and then tweaked in post-production.

the double-leaf ‘bascule’ bridge seen opening was nowhere to be found in LA so we built one, or at least a 4ft foreground miniature of one.

the time-lapse sequences were shot using the Canon 5D digital camera.
