A mortise being cut, filmed at 120 frames a second and played back at a quarter speed. There is no commentary because the sound is the whole reason the film exists.
What is in it
- 00:00 The first cut, at speed.
- 00:03 The same cut, slowed.
- 00:07 The shaving coming away.
Made with
- A high frame rate and a very bright window
- One 50mm lens
- A borrowed contact microphone
Ellen made this cut about four hundred times the week I was there. This is the only one I filmed.
