I am not a fan of shopping at the mall. Whenever I go to a mall I try to buy whatever I need and get out as soon as possible. The bit crowds and all the stores with flashy signs end up giving me headaches. This video displays fast and interrupted scenes, aiming to show the things that make me feel uneasy inside a mall.
This video deals with my perception of a church as a child. I try to portray how I felt and how I saw things when I was taken to church. I remember feeling surrounded and overwhelmed by all the statues of saints and the old architecture. Those visual components and the echoing voice of the priest and the people praying in the background made time feel slow and distressing.
This film portrays one of my favorite activities (painting). It shows me as an intense and passionate painter seriously engaged in a project. In a way, this piece makes a reference to time by displaying the process of making a work of art.
I explored the link between perception and time by altering the video.
Easy Does It
In my concept of time passing slowly, it goes by especially agonizingly slow when you’re asking someone out. The tension is palpable and the awkwardness of the moment is nigh impossible to bear.
F-fast foward
My idea of time passing quickly is over the event of meals. Be it with loved ones, friends and family, I find it can never be long enough if the company is great. Most of the moments zip past us without us noticing but a few fleeting moments are captured by our memories. Like an endearing song, we forget most of the lyrics, but no one forgets the chorus.
Sound Dub
For the last video I wanted to play around with the concept of mash-ups, where existing material is taken and reshaped to form entirely new pieces. Mash-up is predominantly found in music, where 2 or more existing songs are remixed to form a reworked, unique beat. This video takes speech from the footage that I have to form new, wacky, sometimes inappropriate dialogue.
In this video, I tried to show how time can pass in a completely different way in dreams.
This piece is, in fact, a documentary about something of mine, two something’s of mine, that mean a lot to me…
I enjoyed creating it because there is humour in it and I like that it keeps the audience on edge… I hope!
I created an awkward elevator scene to hopefully show how a very short time can feel like forever when you are uncomfortable.
This is a piece that, as you can tell from the name, is about oversleeping. Nothing is as frantic and hurried as someone when they are late, and I hoped to embody that in this film.
