Using a motion-control camera rig most often used in the production of special effects, Sean Dower takes the camera on a dynamic three-dimensional journey round a full-sized drum kit. As the camera weaves around the highly reflective black and chromed curves, it tracks the detail of a complex and shifting drum solo, in which both drummer (Steve Noble) and camera are locked together into a single resonant performance.

Commissioned as part of ‘Single Shot’. Funded by Arts Council England and the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund.

Curated, promoted and toured by Film and Video Umbrella and managed by Film and Video Umbrella and Maya Vision International.
