The project combines digital footage shot on a Canon 5D with textured 16mm film captured on a Bolex camera to create a layered visual experience. Through minimal dialogue and carefully constructed sound design, the film focuses on stillness, subtle movement, and the emotional weight of quiet moments. The contrast between clean digital imagery and grainy analog film emphasizes the passage of time and internal reflection, encouraging viewers to engage with the sensory and emotional qualities of silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-14-at-11.12.16-AM-scaled.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/uuayzos6b7yomf4z0nahp\/Ifantis_Steve_EXERCISE_4_COLLAGE_FINAL.mp4?rlkey=9jnrr9g87tyv9628vdxf23r4q&amp;st=8j024guy&amp;raw=1\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Display<\/strong> <strong>Time: <\/strong>0:00-0:22<br><strong>TITLE:<\/strong> Good Guys with a Gun<br><strong>ROLE<\/strong>: Director, Editor, Sound Editor<br><strong>MEDIA:<\/strong> Experimental Film (Digital Video)<br><strong>SOFTWARE:<\/strong> DaVinci Resolve Studio<br><strong>HARDWARE:<\/strong> Canon 5D<br><strong>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/strong> 1920\u00d71080px, Color, HD Video<br><strong>DURATION:<\/strong> 1:32<br><strong>CLASS:<\/strong> Experimental Film<br><strong>PROFESSOR:<\/strong> Warren Cockerham<br><strong>SEMESTER \/ TERM:<\/strong> Fall 2025<br><strong>INSTITUTION:<\/strong> University of Tampa<br><strong>DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><br><em>Good Guys with a Gun<\/em> is an experimental film that examines the cultural and emotional impact of school shootings in the United States. The project explores the idea of safety and fear through visual symbolism and atmospheric sound design, questioning the belief that violence can be prevented simply by adding more weapons. Using staged imagery and carefully controlled compositions, the film creates a tense, reflective mood that encourages viewers to consider the realities of school violence and its psychological effects on students and communities. The project emphasizes the contrast between ordinary school environments and the underlying sense of danger that has become part of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-14-at-9.20.31-PM-scaled.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/u76c3c67w4ju6a2jkmkbb\/Steve-Ifantis.mp4?rlkey=snkot30wlcamc25q33xs8jsgl&amp;st=9uwyoe39&amp;raw=1\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Display<\/strong> <strong>Time: <\/strong>0:00-0:22<br><strong>TITLE:<\/strong> Eyes of Tampa<br><strong>ROLE<\/strong>: Director, Editor, Sound Editor<br><strong>MEDIA:<\/strong> Experimental Video (Digital Photography &amp; Video)<br><strong>SOFTWARE:<\/strong> DaVinci Resolve Studio<br><strong>HARDWARE:<\/strong> Canon 5D<br><strong>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/strong> 1920\u00d71080px, Color, HD Video<br><strong>DURATION:<\/strong> 0:38<br><strong>CLASS:<\/strong> Experimental Film<br><strong>PROFESSOR:<\/strong> Warren Cockerham<br><strong>SEMESTER \/ TERM:<\/strong> Fall 2025<br><strong>INSTITUTION:<\/strong> University of Tampa|<br><strong>DESCRIPTION<\/strong>:<br>Eyes of Tampa is an experimental video that explores Tampa through a visual series of photographs and symbolic imagery, centered on the ideas of observation and perspective. The project uses close-up images of eyes combined with photographs of Tampa\u2019s urban environment to create visual similes that connect human perception with the spaces people move through every day. By layering still images and video, the film emphasizes how individuals experience the city differently from different points of view.
