Shot this over a period of 3 weeks around Cambodia’s capital of Phnom Penh using a Canon 550D and intervalometer. The panning shot was created using the upturned base of a swivel office chair lashed to the tripod legs and a flexible plastic door seal marked with length increments to give a somewhat consistent incremental rotation. Didn’t cost me a penny:-) Over 5,000 individual photos were required to produce the 5 minute video.
Phnom Penh is a city moving into the 21st century at an astonishing rate. Western technological and social influences are creating a highly contrasting society between those who embrace change and those who can’t or won’t. Where the west had decades for society to progress in parallel with technology, Cambodian people are trying to squeeze that progression into just a few years. This video represents the pace at which this city is changing.
