Goreography
As this experiment in truly “live action” photography and videography unfolded, the art of capturing the experiences became an entertainment in itself. Think about it. There is no way to choregraph (goreograph?) any of this. The cast is doing what it’s going to do unbeknownst to the punk behind the phone camera and without any callibration with his specific location amid the action. Matty attests he was as giddy as a school boy each time it all came together.
