I've been thinking about how the play of light in a snowstorm could be like a scene in a film, with every flake casting a different shadow. Ever notice how the shifting light changes the way animals move through it?
Sure thing, snowflakes are like a moving diffraction grating and the light plays tricks on the eyes. When the sun’s at 15 degrees the shadows shift so fast that the Arctic fox learns to time its steps to the glare. I’ve mapped that pattern in three minutes of footage, but I’ll need a cold coffee to stay awake.
Sounds like you’re catching a quiet rhythm in the chaos, that’s nice. A cold coffee will do—you’ll need it for the long shots.
Yeah, rhythm’s a stubborn thing. Coffee helps, so I’ll be ready for those long takes. Let me know when you need the shots.
Just give me a heads up when you’re ready, and I’ll be there.
Ready when the light hits 18°, give me an hour’s notice. I’ll be waiting with the lens.
I'll give you a call an hour before, thank you.
Got it, talk to me an hour before. I'll have the camera ready.
