brindabellas | part one | summer – Trailer from Silver Dory Productions on Vimeo.
This is the trailer for 'summer' – part one of 'brindabellas'.
'brindabellas' is an infrared film (approximately 150 minutes in duration across 5 parts) featuring the sky and landscapes of the Canberra region of Australia – in particular the Brindabella Ranges. 'brindabellas' explores both the wider vistas and more intimate details of the natural processes and flows that are created by these ranges and, in turn, shape the very landscapes they arise from.

Part one – 'summer' – explores the interplay of mountain light, air and water as these elements are transformed by summer heat and billowing storms form over shimmering forests.
development | notes
'brindabellas' evolved out of the short motion piece 'karst country' (2013) which was developed to explore the possibilities of creating infrared motion with RED Digital Cinema cameras. 'brindabellas' production started in June 2013 with the aim of creating a feature-length film entirely from this infrared footage – which uniquely captures the intricacies of sky and cloudscapes, the dynamics of rain and running water – and the shifting shadows across the changing seasons..
