Dyeing Breath is a three-screen video art installation comprising of an iPad interface and a C++ app. The program warps 360-degree video footage shot with a 6 camera Go-Pro rig. It was conceptualized by artists Michael Thomas Hill and Indigo Hanlee, and produced by Lightwell.

Dyeing Breath is an unveiling of our environment’s ever-present spirit. As the landscape exhales, plumes of brightly coloured smoke reveal a hidden life force. These vibrant breaths hang against their environment in moving clouds of colour - the invisible has been made visible. It won the Chippendale New World Art Prize 2016, in response to the theme of spirit.

I was the directed the photography and post production for Dyeing Breath using a 360 camera rig, and various bespoke stitching applications.
