Chasing Light
The foundation of our documentary “Chasing Light” was to tell a story that’s just as tangible as it is beautiful. We set out to find the crux of thoughtful documentary narrative and beautiful visuals, not just to look great on a big screen but also within the pages of CANAL Magazine, issue 2.
Geoff Levy/Grand Crew and Sunday Afternoon worked together to translate the film into nine spreads, integrated with AR technology that project chapters of the documentary on top of the magazine’s pages. Portraits of the film’s characters are interwoven with landscape photography and thoughtful design to create moments that prompt readers to watch the chapters of the film across the pages of the magazine.
