Imagine one day you wake up and everyone in your city is gone, not necessarily dead, but simply gone away, leaving the streets empty and the whole metropolis in a dead silence. What would you do?
Would you panic, call for help, run as far as you can from the eerie place, or simply sit around and do things you could never do otherwise?
Russell Houghten is a talented filmmaker and in one of his latest releases, he managed to digitally remove all that rustling going on each day in Los Angeles. No cars, no people - just buildings and empty streets, a perfect place for skateboarding in his vision.
The short movie is called Urban Isolation and using a lot of post-processing techniques, its maker managed to create the illusion of a skater that explores a dead city. Which kinda reminds us of the I Am Legend movie, only that here you don’t get that strange feeling you’re being watched by something...
Still, a great thing to watch and imagine what else is there to be done with a whole city at your feet. In our world however, we would have broken into every luxury dealership to take those beauties out for a spin.
