Over the course of filming, we used a variety of cameras and camera setups. We relied on gimbals, drones, shoulder-mount, and dollies to add movement and unique angles to the film. Color was an important piece as the blue of the sculpture is a bespoke blue color created just for the sculpture.
Aside from visuals, music is what drives the piece. Composed by our own Ryan Northcott, "Spirit of Water" is a cinematic piece with movements that get the heart pumping, but soften when we hear the jury and artists talk about the piece. It's emotional, powerful, and inspirational. "Spirit of Water" is on all streaming platforms - Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, and more.
