FATE: fāt/ verb 1. be destined to happen, turn out, or act in a particular way.


FATE is a two minute honey dipped slow ride. Captured with the Phantom Miro and framed tight, it is a front row seat to a beautifully intimate moment that will slowly punch you in the heart. Gorgeously lit, shot and cast to perfection, with a soundtrack to match. Designed to tap into your memories - emotions.  Let that dopamine flow.


Is he STILL talking?  Look at his MOUTH.  All the words coming out of it are delicious.  Hes smart, fascinating, and I want to know more......  but...  Look at the way it moves when he talks.  What is he even saying now?  Those lips.  Are they soft?  That MOUTH.  What does he taste like?  She thought to herself.  Her eyes lingering on his mouth then back to his eyes.  Those eyes were brighter now.  Lips almost smiling.  


Time had slowed down.  


She could only see and think about one thing now.  Tunnel vision had taken effect, and she was unconsciously focused only on his lips.  What was taking so long?  He's was interested -  she could feel all the signs.  And before she knew it she had gone for it.  His mouth was as sweet and soft as she thought it would be.  Heavenly.  Just as curious - just as hungry as hers.  Perfect.


A gem of a moment most adults can all relate to.  The "time melt" before a first kiss.  So pure - so fun, and so exquisite.  When everything is fresh and brand new - it only happens once with them right?  Sometimes you find yourself leaning in first.  This is a brief representation of a glorious moment in time from a particular perspective.  A human experience celebrated and represented in a high art form style.  The richness of it slowed down and suspended to an intentionally heart-stopping degree.  Cherished and immortalized as only art can.  In an unapologetically high quality and beautiful format, as the artist felt it deserved.  Portrayed by two gorgeous actors well informed on the scene and the action.  Shoot day was - however - the first time they met.  


The raw material used was their actual first kiss.  

And the magic is there - we all knew it at the time on set.  Although it happened much faster in person the electricity was palatable.  It was pin drop quiet people.  Pin.  Drop.  Quiet.  With a recovery moment time delay in our collective reaction and in the transference of data.  (Those digital files are MAMMOTH and required a specialist.)  I remember putting my hand over my mouth nodding yessssss while looking at the  monitor.  MAGIC.  The footage shows it all in liquid, high quality form.  CAPTURED MAGIC.  Pupils dilating, soft smiles of knowing, and the physical responses were all - real.  True professionals just doing a job, yet seemingly excited by the project, and the idea.  You know - just a kiss, at work.  It was a great day.


Conceptualized and made into a beautiful reality by me and my very talented hand selected crew.  My art heart ignited I had seen a fantastic slow motion nature art piece, and read a promo for lipstick that was so incredibly, exquisitely, graphic that when I woke up the next day and HAD had to create.  Inspired and proactive I made my first motion piece.  Please enjoy.
