“I asked my friends to grab their favorite things off their desk at work for a quick photo shoot project.” -Nick Campbell

After looking through more of Nick’s (awesome) photography on his flickr I couldn’t shake the feeling that his work seemed strangely familiar. It was whilst looking through more of his portraits that it hit me.

Nick Campbell directed my favourite ever video short!!

Produced by Colin Davis, edited by Josh Bodnar, starring Benny Monson, shot at a unnervingly beautiful 250fps, ‘Bubbles’ is a perfect blend of chilled Jazz and slo-mo frantic bubble popping. Part of the reason I like the video so much, aside from being a sucker for slo-mo footage and Benny’s manic expression, is the way it gives the impression of being shot underwater. The way all the movements of skin, hair, and clothes are slowed down to a crawl, there even seems a similarity between the way skin pales and eyes look ‘glazed-over’ when underwater… probably a mix of how the video is shot and my own imagination.
