12:14_01.24.2007: "This is what you will be riding on"

this piece, Sleep Dream Repeat is an abstract digital film that is constructed similarly to a piece of music where elements string together not in necessarily the logical sense but in a rhythmic pattern.

the piece, somewhere around 8 to ten minutes flows through four main chapters with several elements existing within each chapter:


an environment
a character
a style (film, effect, lighting, color, etc.)
an action done by the character


SDR talks about the fears, insecurities and struggles of life that are constantly pushed past in every living moment. i take my view of the world, one where i see others and wonder what goes on in their heads. i wonder if we are all hiding our fear of the unfathomable understanding of existence from one another. and i wonder if we were all truly comfortable expressing ourselves would we all go insane. but mainly i wonder if, and how we are the same.

the piece of course does not direclty express these concerns in a translatable form but rather is filtered through subconscious thoughts sparked by raw emotion and random simuli.

the end result is a hodge podge of imagery inspired by thoughts that are too difficult and complex for me to truly unravel, let alone understand.

the goal then being, is to show how my mind attempts to unravel the ideas and opinions i have about being a human being.
