Memento mori
The Cinematographer takes the camera […] his skin a slow shimmer of concerned green and melancholy blue. He pats the camera's casing, […] At length, he reappears with both camera and film.
Back to the studio, deep in the Lung. […] Images flicker into life.Description summary:
The third and fourth paragraphs change based on the lens and film emulsion used.
| Third paragraph | |
|---|---|
| Wide-Angle | The camera has captured the Sous […] The mooring mast, […] The spiral staircase, […] and the dark iron gate at the mouth of the cave at the top. Of the catacombs, the picture only contains a suggestive darkness: that labyrinth is safely out of sight. |
| Telescopic | The camera looks down upon a submerged heart, large as a castle and grey as granite. A vast and ventricled citadel: the Gant Pole. […] in the Unterzee's darkness its organic chambers and nodules glisten a slick and queasy silver. |
| Fourth paragraph | |
|---|---|
| The Sous, Peligin | The polished ivory of the steps is starkly white; the shadows blacker than black. […] an agony of highlights and plunging darkness. The blackest shade of all hunches within the cave mouth that leads into the labyrinth above. A hungry, waiting dark. |
| The Sous, Violant | A visiting grave-tender leaves the catacomb, and the camera follows her down […] to her waiting Miser. They trace a vivid path back across the Roof, another mote in the living network that joins the Starved clades to this dead and shifting place. |
| The Sous, Cosmogone | Under the soft focus […] Sous is less stark. The camera lingers on fuzzy close-ups […] moving over eye socket and cheekbone and picked-clean tibiae as if they were the curves of a lover's back. It is not difficult to imagine the people these bones once were. |
| The Gant Pole, Peligin | The peligin shapes of zee-creatures swarm the waters around the Pole. […] the veins of the submerged heart pulse with life. […] in deep and gant-walled shadows, the chambers fill with the Unterzee's dying. The entire pole runs with the blood of monsters. |
| The Gant Pole, Violant | […] There is a double exposure, here: on the one hand, a static image of the Gant Pole, […] On the other hand, the film glows with the fluid paths of zee-creatures. […] each monster's journey towards its inevitable death joins […] in a vast and terrible web. |
| The Gant Pole, Cosmogone | The movement of the shot follows individual zee-creatures […]. An albino moray, […] putting off the inevitable. A behemoustache, […] approaches an open ventricle with steadfast, if weary, finality. The Gant Pole is a place of endings, but no two are identical. |
