Beyond Time | The City That Defies Nature

Role: Director · Cinematographer · Editor · Colorist · Sound Design

Concept

A cinematic exploration of Venice — the floating city that has defied nature for over 1,500 years. Shot over two days, Beyond Time captures the essence of a city suspended between water and sky, built atop 118 islands and bound by more than 400 bridges.

Story & Approach

Filmed entirely on the Nikon Z6III paired with the Tamron 28-75 mm f/2.8 G2, the video moves through dawn-lit canals, sun-drenched piazzas, and quiet alleys to reveal the textures of everyday Venetian life. There’s no voiceover or dialogue — just pure cinematic B-roll designed to immerse viewers in the rhythm of the lagoon.

The edit flows like water — slow, reflective, and timeless — while the color grade enhances natural warmth and shadow depth to emphasize the city’s surreal stillness. Every sound, reflection, and motion mirrors Venice’s duality: fragile yet eternal.
