DIY filmmaker Boonsri Dickinson created this short sci-fi film with Google Glass and edited it on her iPhone with Givit !
"Cybord in New York" is the story of a cyborg whose portable memory device has failed, leaving her without any memory of what love is. In the film, which was entirely improvised by the two actors, the cyborg's friend attempts to rekindle memories of the meaning love in the cyborg.
There were no production costs involved in the film, and it was shot in a single morning. While shooting the entire thing with Google Glass lends the whole thing an amateur feel, there's also an intimacy to the projects that you just don't get from a traditional camera. Boonsri has a few more projects in development that we’ll be keeping an eye out for in the future.
"I think this is the future of filmmaking. Mobile technology has allowed us to make movies on our phones and even film it with a first person perspective with Google Glass (since it is literally on the person’s head.. no tripod needed or permits). It’s a one person production basically — completely changing how video is done. It turns video into a visual writing form rather than a group project.
I got my masters in chemical engineering. I know the filming process used to involve a lot more manual labor of cutting and processing film so the move to more mobile and digital technology has made filmmaking cheap and accessible to anyone with a phone. It reduced the barrier to entry in the same way blogs and social networks have given many people a voice. As a chemical engineer, I see processes in everything around me and look to invent new ways of telling stories and communicating. The phone and Glass are a natural extension of Microsoft word, just more mobile tools that give me more artistic expression."
