As for the technique, I cut and pasted together a series of prints onto paper to create a series of photographs that corresponded to the surface of the fictional space, and then filmed them frame by frame.

8mm films are shot at 18 or 24 frames per second and projected at the same speed. Some 8mm projectors are capable of slow-motion projection. The slower the projection speed, the more intermittent the image becomes, making it clear that you are watching a series of slides in sequence. So I decided to try shooting something closer to normal movement using slow motion projection. I pressed the camera release button as hard as I could until my fingers cramped. The idea of ​​cinematic movement is to see pictures one after the other, so the shooting speed is up to your fingers, and the projection speed is also roughly the same.

A breath-taking experience that lets the viewer glimpse the thrill of pitting oneself against great elemental forces - and succeeding. In a comparison among four sports (skateboarding, surfing, skiing and hang gliding, the similarities of handling body movement are elaborated. A "fall line" is the straightest, fastest line downward - whether it be down wave, slope or air corridor. The comparative ways in which a body acts to slow the descent and adapt to the unexpected are shown on land, air and water. Makes us aware that these exhilarating sports have been made possible by new technologies, and illustrates that challenging experiences need not necessarily be competitive or affect the environment adversely.
