Context

• The Parade of the Lost Souls is an annual neighbourhood celebration to honour the dead, wake the living and overcome our fears.

• Don Xaliman and Neil Brock came with cameras.
• Clark Nicolai provided G4 and advice.

• Pretty meditative short, seen from the point of view of a zen monk.

• In total, we had about 2 hours of footage.
• Probably my tightest effort
• Next time, stop blowing up the frames! Use a better camera or lens

• Some early shots are too long, and some transitions too sharp. But people told me they love it..

• Easy.

• Grandview Park, Commercial Drive.
