This was a video i created for my graphic design class. Life is a series of moments in linear sequence, however after occurrence these moments only exist in out memories. I was exploring how various moments can exist in a film representation. Special thanks to Mark Smith for the shots of me wake boarding. Everything else was shot by me.
Exploration
This project was the fusion of visual and technological exploration of ways to represent moments. Our life is made up of a compilation of memories of moments. Some forgotten, some hazily remembered as if they were a dream, and some as vivid as if they had just occurred. Through animation and film i explored how these moments could be represented and visualized.
Thinking
Life is about cycles, a start and a finish, a beginning and an end. Even non-living things go through cycles. The sun rises and sets everyday, which in turn nourishes life on this planet. The seasons are a cycle, spring, summer, fall, winter, they often form a perfect analogy for Life. Spring is birth and growth. Summer is the majority of your life, and love. Autumn is the journey into old age, then wrapping up of a life. Winter is cold and lifeless like death.
Process Book
After my film was completed I created a process book to give insight into my thinking. It was designed like a parallax website, one continuos image. I did this to represent the timeline that makes up a movie, a series of clips linked together to form a cohesive piece.
