Angel Baby

Dressed in white against a black background, John filmed at one frame per second and used one-second exposures to create an effect of flapping wings and brushstrokes. In order to create the flying effect in his studio, he had to film with a mirror and interpret the story backwards (hence the teleprompter) and upside down. As a result, the film has to be shown from back to front, which in turn requires an adjustment of focus and frame lines differing from those of any film that has been shown just before or after. A film made in a single shot, filmed continuously for 45 minutes.
