Las Vegas in Infrared: Phillip Bloom's Dreamlike Short Film
British filmmaker Phillip Bloom has released a short film titled 'Las Vegas in Infrared,' shot with a modified Sony RX100 IV camera. The video transforms the iconic American entertainment hub into a surreal, post-apocalyptic landscape using infrared lens and slow-motion effects. Bloom, who had no precise project in mind, experimented with the camera and found the effect particularly striking on palm trees, lawns, and blue skies. The resulting footage, enhanced by slow motion, gives Las Vegas a sinister, dreamlike atmosphere. The film was featured on Artribune in August 2016, with a review by Valentina Tanni, an art historian and curator specializing in art and technology.
