    I’m curious about with which settings he did shoot and how he graded / edited the footage

    Hi footage was shot in filmic pro at 1/48th shutter speed at iso 32 in 4K at 24fps using Flat log capture. Only thing added in editing was the flat log LUT that helps to crush the blacks – no other colour grading was done. What you see is pretty much how it was shot.

    Wow! This film definitely captures both the beauty and sadness of London during this pandemic. Many cities across the world can relate to this. Great work!

    Beautifully shot. One of the first things I did when we went into lockdown was explore London. This films captures the surreal silence and stillness of our city

    Hauntingly and beautifully captures the emptiness, Solitude, and even serenity of a lockdown. Starting with the crackle of a radio broadcast and moving through the montage of rich colors, textures, images and angles alongside the cello soundtrack I was in the grip of a powerfully emotional story – told masterfully.

      Amazingly captured, the incredible city of London as never seen before. Cass’ film catches the atmosphere & feeling of utter quietness of a city with 9million residents….empty. Wonderfully eerie & atmospheric. Beautifully shot.

    A film which evokes emotion in the viewer: poignant, joyful and melancholy l, with a sense too of the epic and majestic nature of London. This film deserves very wide attention.

    Cass never fails to capture moments in time and this is a perfect example. Haunting yet beautiful. A moment of calm during a turbulent time, capturing London like never before.

    Beautifully shot, haunting film. Feels like it could be used as an historical tool for future generations to have a sense of what London was like during lockdown.

    Beautiful shots of London being silent, not many people get to see that in real life, so now they can!
