The famous call—”Lights! Camera! Action!”—reveals the essence of movies: action! A movie without action is just a slide show. Audiences expect movies to move. But while Hollywood has conditioned us to expect explosions, battles, rampaging dinosaurs and other  big actions, there can be delight in capturing subtle actions. As Jamie Fuller demonstrates in “Gloomy Day,” a filmmaker with a good eye can help us appreciate subtle motions that we usually overlook, such as a puff of smoke or the rippling of a pond.

“Gloomy Day” was shot with a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Fuller comments: “Although the film is presented in 1080p it was filmed in 4K. This gave me lots of control over the final footage including being able to crop and adjust rotation without fear of damage to the quality.”
