Duncan Stagg

Project Description

Live performance style video shot and edited during the COVID-19 crisis. Due to Duncan being based in Bristol I had to direct him in how best to light and film himself for me to then be able to edit it at a later stage. Similar to Flett’s video this one also heavily features the use of stock footage to help convey feelings and depictions of depression.
