A 6-minute knight's duel shot like a fever dream in slow motion. Buckle up, buttercup.
Trials and Tribulations is a film project that aims to captivate the audience with a knight's tale centred around an impossible mission. From the very beginning, my intention was to create a visually stunning experience by incorporating large-scale slow cinematic shots. The concept was simple yet powerful, as I wanted to explore the art of cinematography and utilise a deliberate slow tempo to enhance the atmosphere and drive the storytelling.
Cinematography
Every frame could hang in a gallery. Rogers knows his visuals.
Sound
Voice performances carry weight the action deliberately withholds.
Direction
Six minutes, zero fat, maximum atmosphere.
Director
Isaac Rogers
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rogers shot this as a deliberate exercise in 'slow cinema' techniques applied to action—think of it as a middle finger to rapid-cut chaos.
Both lead voices are Ben Whittle, creating an uncanny mirror effect that suggests these knights are two sides of the same doomed coin.
