Captured at the end of a weekend spent with artists and friends celebrating the launch of New Zealand's first large NFT exhibition in Christchurch put on by the team of TyanDAO. It was the first time following recent lockdowns that I'd flown away to meet some 40 new friends in person.
As I sat looking out the window of my plane on arrival I felt an overwhelming sense of freedom that came back to me as I stood on this beach at the end of the weekend before flying back home. It felt like we had begun to build a bridge to freedom, forging a path strong enough for others to join us as we walk into the unknown.
Shot at New Brighton Pier, Christchurch. Captured in cinemaDNG 4K Raw Full Frame, graded in Davinci Resolve with FilmConvert Nitrate and edited in Adobe After Effects using multi layered clips, masking and rotoscoping.
