Stillness. Story. Light.
This cinematic portrait short features Brooke Lily Brazelton, captured through the expressive lens of the Canon 35mm f/1.4 L on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K (BMPCC 6K). This is a mood-driven visual piece focused on presence, light play, and emotion in motion.
Framed in the intimacy of natural light and subtle shadows, this film is designed to amplify simplicity — letting micro-expressions, movement, and light transitions speak louder than words. The pairing of the 35mm focal length with the Super 35 sensor of the BMPCC 6K creates a balanced perspective — close, yet breathable. Personal, yet cinematic.
Shot entirely in Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) and color graded in DaVinci Resolve, the tones are soft, neutral, and elegant — allowing skin tones to breathe and shadows to add quiet drama.

🌟 Creative Concept:
The visual direction for this film was minimalism. One lens. One model. One room. The emotion comes from Brooke’s presence, movement, and connection with the lens — not from effects or heavy production. This approach places all the weight on composition, rhythm, and authenticity.
