In astronomical terminology, "redshift" is the term used in calculating the distance of stars from Earth, thereby determining their ages. REDSHIFT attempts to show the vast geometry of the night sky and give an altered perspective of the landscape, using long exposures, fixed camera positions, long shots and stop-motion animation techniques to reveal aspects of at night invisible to the naked eye.
The film is subtly intense, and is composed of changes of light on the sea, the sky and the mountains. It shows movement where there is apparent stillness, both in the formation of weather patterns, the movement of stars, and the illumination of a building by the passing headlights of cars or boats racing across the horizon. of the sea.
Sound was composed for the film by Benedict Drew, taking field recordings of the Aurora Borealis as a starting point and using purely computer-generated sound to create a soundtrack that reflects the elements not heard present in the earth's atmosphere.
