Invisible effect

A full suit of clothes walks the length of a wide hall with nobody in it. a wide shot of a long empty hall with a polished floor, a plain jacket, shirt and trousers walk from one end toward camera holding the exact shape of a body, the trouser legs swinging and the jacket shoulders rolling with the stride, no head, hands or ankles visible anywhere, a hard shadow moving along the floor beneath the clothes, the hall itself unchanged, locked wide camera

A cafe table where one person is solid and the other is only their moving cutlery. a wide shot of two chairs at a small outdoor cafe table, the person on the left is completely solid and eating normally, the chair on the right is visibly pressed down with a cushion dip and a fork lifting food from the plate in mid air, no body visible on that side and the street behind showing right through the space, both plates and glasses moving as if used, locked wide camera

A raised arm is skin to the elbow and unseeable beyond it while holding a cup. a close vertical shot of a raised arm against a plain pale wall, the skin is normal from the shoulder to the elbow and beyond that point the forearm and hand cannot be seen at all, with the wall showing straight through the gap, a plain ceramic cup floating exactly where the hand should be and tipping slightly as invisible fingers adjust it, the edge of the change staying sharp at the elbow, locked camera

A drifting smoke cloud parts around the shape of a person who cannot be seen. a close vertical shot of a dim room with thin smoke drifting across it in slow sheets, the smoke parts and curls around the exact shape of a standing human body at the centre of frame, rolling over invisible shoulders and around invisible legs so the outline is readable, the body itself completely unseeable with the wall and door visible through it, locked camera at chest height

A person becomes unseeable while their clothes hold the body shape and step forward. a person stands in a bare room in a plain jacket and jeans, the body inside the clothes stops being visible from the head down so the collar, sleeves and legs keep the exact shape of a standing figure with nothing inside them, the clothes then take one step forward and the fabric creases at the knee and elbow as a real body would make it, the floor, the window and the light unchanged, locked camera

Prints press into wet sand at a walking pace with nobody in frame. a close vertical shot looking down at flat wet sand, a line of bare footprints presses in one after another at a steady walking pace with the sand squeezing up at the edge of each print and water seeping into it, no body and no legs visible anywhere in frame, a shallow depression of body weight showing where the walker pauses, the shoreline and the light unchanged, camera tracking forward with the prints

Grass flattens in a line across a wide meadow as an unseen walker crosses. a wide shot of a meadow of tall grass in low evening light, the stalks bend and flatten in a line moving steadily away from camera as something at walking pace pushes through, the grass springing partly back behind the track, no body or legs visible at any point, a bird lifting from the grass as the unseen walker reaches it, the treeline and sky unchanged, locked wide camera

Heavy rain breaks on the shoulders and head of someone who cannot be seen. heavy rain falls on a dark empty pavement at night, at the centre of frame the drops stop mid air in the shape of a head and two shoulders and run down an invisible back and arms before dripping off elbows that are not there, a clear dry patch of pavement below the shape, the body itself completely unseeable and the wet street and the puddles behind fully visible, locked camera

Falling snow builds on invisible shoulders and hair in a wide park shot. a wide shot of a bare snowy park under grey flat light, falling snow settles into the shape of a head and two shoulders at the centre of frame and builds up there frame by frame, flakes sliding off invisible arms, a clean snow-free patch of ground under the shape, the body completely unseeable with the trees behind fully visible, locked wide camera

A bicycle rides upright and steers with no visible rider on it. a close vertical shot of a plain bicycle riding steadily along a quiet lane, the pedals turning under downward pressure, the saddle pressed down and the handlebars steering into a bend, with no rider visible at all and the hedge behind showing straight through the space where a body should be, a second parked bicycle at the verge standing still and empty for comparison, camera tracking alongside
