videoStill Life 'Crystals Forming' by William Glass
William Glass captures a hypnotic collage of rolling clouds, in his promo for Still Life's Crystals Forming. The long and short of this video is clouds - nothing more, nothing less - but don't be fooled into thinking this is a half-baked concept. Filmed over the UK’s first coronavirus lockdown, the visual is a reflection of time passing in social isolation, mesmerisingly edited to meditative effect, matching the lilting instrumental theme with each carefully considered cut. Dreamy and breezy, it's very different but fun - and rather soothing.
