close up shot of a rain drop, camera follows it at it hits the floor widening its angle as the rain drop falls

Following the journey of a drop of rain.

A short film.

The film is about the water cycle. Each of the rain drops transform. . . as they follow the cycle of nature, uniting with each other, parting, or being absorbed in the course of their journey

"The film alternates from recording in time-lapse (one frame every ten seconds) to running through the camera at 24 f.p.s. (regular speed). The film was made in a continuous heavy rainstorm, and the front element of the Angenieux lens accumulated drops of rain on its surface until the view became obscured. The bursts of film at normal speed occur just after the lens had been wiped dry to reveal the trees, marsh grass, and watersedge in clear sharp focus beyond" William Raban

The various emotions and mindsets of human beings portrayed by shots of rain.

A faucet in a white sink is filmed dripping.

A film about an act of nature in the mountains, caused by a strong downpour.

Three identical prints of a single 100 foot fixed-camera take are shown from beginning to end-roll light-flare, with a few feet of blackness preceding/bridging/following the rolls. …The loop repetition (the series hopefully will intrigue you to further run-throughs) automatically imparts a steadily growing rhythmic sense of the street-activities. Anticipation for familiar movement-complexes builds, and as all smaller complexities join up in our knowledge of the whole the purely accidental counter-passings of people and vehicles becomes satisfyingly cogent, seems rhythmically structured and of a piece. Becomes choreography.
