Director Statement :
Specs 3 is part of a trilogy of abstract short films I am making. The colors in this film I borrowed from a painting I made of a (painted) wall in San Francisco. I wanted to play with slow camera movements which alter the balance of color within the frame. I created the soundtrack with digital samples, midi composition and archival and original sound recordings.
