Story Videos
上海 Shanghai Walks, inspired by the aesthetics of video games and virtual reality, is a series-prototype dedicated to the exploration by video. Short travelling, without commentary or music, attempt to capture the true atmosphere of the streets, the architecture and the sounds of the China’s economic capital. This project is the continuity of the Location Scouting Project. This content was also used to produce the series Shanghai Video Mixtapes.
Story | Have a simple walk in Shanghai
When you want to discover a country or a town on the Internet, there are many options: Google Maps, YouTube, Instagram, forums, blogs, etc. But all these options are almost systematically augmented by features, comments, music or adverts that detract from the immersion of the discovery. This little series of unpretentious, low-quality videos began very simply, downstairs in my house in Shanghai. Every day, on my way to the office or on a walk, surrounded by new faces and new stimuli, I sometimes felt, furtively, that feeling that great travellers and explorers sometimes describe as the vertigo of elsewhere or the intoxication of strangeness. I just wanted to catch that energy and keep a little piece of it, just by filming on my phone.
