An exercise in light painting and parallax displacement to create the illusion of 3D (or 2.5D) and motion in a series of still photographs captured after nightfall. Created from lockdown using old photographs, as a reminder of what exists outside my four walls and so others can enjoy the wonders of the night sky from their solitary confines.
"Our team sees so many star scape videos and this one is a cut above in so many ways" - Meghan Oretsky, Vimeo Curator
"Arthur Galloway Cauty is a dab hand at capturing moonlight magic. His latest film of astrophotography and light painting is so beguiling, it’s better than communing with a coyote for an almost spiritual calm." - D&C Film
"I can’t even imagine the time and skill it took to put together and create something this beautiful" - The Loop
"The results are stunning. Truly beautiful stuff" - AdventureBlog.net
"This ode to the night sky will make you want to drop everything and go stargazing" - Mountain Life
"One of the most interesting time lapse projects we've seen in years" - Timelapse Magazine
