Have you ever felt like you were trapped inside of your mind, consumed by a constant flow of anxiety, worry, and fear? Or maybe you have felt this way at a time in your life and realize the power and control you have over your mind. Either way, you need to check out "The Irrational Fear of Nothing," a short film directed by Paul Trillo, that follows a paranoid, neurotic man named Terry as he walks the streets of Manhattan.
One of the most interesting things about Trillo's short film is how it was shot. It was shot by strapping a SnorriCam and the mirrorless Olympus OM-D EM5 II to the actor's back to give the film a third person point of view. As it follows this man through Manhattan, the film is narrated based on Terry's thoughts as he walks and encounters people and places. This short film is definitely worth a watch, and if you want to learn more about how it was made, you can check out more behind the scenes info on Behance and head over to Director Paul Trillo's website to view more of his thought-provoking work.
It looks like an unfunny Louis C.K. ...
Eerie!
That's me on the bus!
One of the most interesting things on this movie is definetely use of music as a emotional trigger, use of words, line, sentances, how the eveyday life fear is turn into poetry, peotry about sadness, anxiety, loss ....not how it was shot...how it was shot was a technique a proper used tool to tell a story...
I agree. I think i maybe could have gotten the same exact emotional response from the audio alone. The video was less than supplementary. Very interesting and incredible short
Was thinking the same thing. New Yorker myself here as well.. probably would have just glanced then been like... alright.
Wow. I have ADD and anxiety, and that spoke to me. Wow.
