Hear that echo?
“Hear that echo? That's every video I've made.”
Vertical 9:16 handheld selfie video, medium close-up, phone on a tripod. A 28-year-old Haitian-American man with a short high-top fade, a thin moustache, a cream oversized tee under an open black overshirt and a small gold chain, in a sparse apartment living room with bare white walls, a wooden floor and a ring light. He talks to the lens and his voice sounds hollow and echoey, bouncing off the bare walls; he winces, then holds up a small black box to the lens. Static tripod. Soft ring light from the front with dim evening room light, shot on iPhone front camera, natural skin texture, unpolished. He says: "Hear that echo? That's every video I've made."
