Interrupt: A Slow-Motion Audiovisual Experience of Daily Life in Southeast Asia
Earlier this year, filmmaker and musician Paul Wex traveled through a number of countries in Southeast Asia. Instead of using standard photos or video to document his trip, Wex decided to create an “audiovisual neurotic slow-motion experience” of the everyday things he saw. What resulted is the short film above, titled “Interrupt.”
Everything was filmed through a Canon 5D Mark III and a vintage Olympus 35mm OM Zuiko lens. All the original footage was shot at 1080/30p, converted into slow-motion using Twixtor, and graded with Color Finale in Final Cut Pro X.
“Take your time, lean back and use big speakers or headphones,” Wex recommends. “Enjoy and feel what I saw on my last trip.”
