Dusty Beach from Moayad Hassan on Vimeo.
I find this work exceptionally relaxing. Maybe because it was shot in by the beach in Kuwait… during a very dusty weather (as you can see). It’s my kind of place… and my kind of weather.
The dancing seashell, the crap hiding under a rock, the sound of children, the flying birds and the old man holding a bucket and wearing a mask alone in the distance. All these and more are all symbols that could be interpreted in many different ways, you can try to give them meanings or you can just let your sub subconscious do the work for you. Either way… enjoy it.
Shot with an HV20. Edited in FCP. Colour corrected with 3wcc and -lightly- graded with MBL. I also used the great Lock and Load to stabilise some shots. The beautiful music by Feather Drug suited the feeling I tried to convey perfectly.
