I was quite interested and intrigued by Ryle’s unique and creative slow motion videos she produces. She begins by Illustrating pictures then puts it all together, then finally adding in animation to create an interesting effect for the short video 15 second video. I decided to chose this slow motion video because the bridge featured below is the Brooklyn Bridge. I was there last year and America had a big impact and influence on me, I loved travelling and exploring all over the state. Brooklyn bridge certainly being a highlight for me. In addition, Rachel’s videos quite frequently appears on my Instagram explore page and I always try and stay updated with the new content she publishes, as in each short video she is always expanding and exploring her creativity.
