Forms I - An Exploration of Space, Form, Light & Shadow using Miniature White Paper Sets

A new short film by Owen Gildersleeve created in collaboration with Mount Audio and photographer Stephen Lenthall. https://owengildersleeve.com/showcase...

Forms is a new collaborative video series devised by London based, creative sound studio Mount Audio. The ongoing project sees Mount team up with leading visual artists each month to create unique audiovisual works.

Owen was approached to create a short for Mount Audio's first instalment showcase, so teamed up again with photographer Stephen Lenthall. Following the success of their recent Shadow Spaces series, it was a perfect opportunity for them to develop their still imagery into this experimental film.

Forms I explores the relationship between space, form, light and it’s natural counterpart, shadow. Set within the walls of minimalist paper spaces they introduce subtle movements and additional light sweeps to highlight intricate architectural details.

Mount’s initial piano motif was inspired by the the still imagery of the original ‘Shadow Spaces’ series. This set the pace for the visual, as edited by Peter Mellor of Peepshow Collective. The piece was then re-scored to picture with the help of violinist and violist Mallory Hamm.

Additional sound design elements serve to create a much grander sense of space with deep bass swells tracking sweeping shadows and glacial string harmonics echoing down vast hallways. The result is deceiving, a truly immersive journey through seemingly epic spaces.
