Living Photo

A nature film made from still images

It starts with a still.

Every shot began as a single image in Midjourney, then was set in motion in the same tool.

One butterfly, one story.

A generator draws a new butterfly every time. We built the film around one reference and checked every shot against it.

One language.

Soft grain, pale misty light, and only the edge and the eye in sharp focus, the way a macro lens sees.

Twelve versions.

The story order came first and the shots followed it, until every shot told the same story.

Who was watching all along.

At the end the camera pulls back through the glass of an old TV. Two barn owls are watching from a sofa, and the TV switches off.

Now the whole film. Sound on.
