Vivid Sydney, a 23-day festival of light, music and ideas has become one of the most popular events in all of Australia. While the festival showcases music and influential and inspirational speakers, for many, the free Vivid Light show is the main attraction.
From the Sydney Harbor Bridge to the Royal Botanic Gardens, each year artists transform this iconic city into a vibrant display of colors. While harsh weather has damaged some of the pieces in recent days, filmmaker Matthew Vandeputte was lucky enough to be on site before the storms hit.
Vandeputte’s “Swoosh” video is an interesting tour around the Sydney festival. The handheld camera movements bring viewers right into the action, making us feel as if it is us who are walking through the colorful light sculptures.
Vandeputte’s phenomenal work is getting a huge boost in attention since he was recently featured on the Instagram blog.
