Reflections, 2011
The short film is about fusing visual and performance art together to show different peoples views of themselves whilst not being to literal to the stimulus ‘Reflections’. We see individuals looking at internal reflection and duos commenting on each other in the environments they were given. The film juxtaposes different environments from several performances to add overall reflection to the short as well as in the individual movements the performers display. Overall it is about watching a sensitive and brash look at 6 peoples inner feelings, both alone or with someone else.
I’m getting involved in 2.8 Days this weekend. I have no idea (really) what to expect from myself, the cast, crew or the brief. We all get given the same theme to work from on the day the weekend begins and then no doubt run around like complete maniacs! It’ll be spontaneous and interesting whatever the result. I quote Matt (Left Eye) “We’re are basically going to point a gun in your face and tell you to make a film in 2.8 days”Under that kind of pressure i cant imagine that they’ll be room for procrastination.
I’ve chosen to Direct the short so my main challenge is to create and generate a strong vision in a short space of time and make it come to life with the cast and crew. Speaking of which, I’m happy (and excited) to announce that we have successfully gathered a team of very talented people to work and collaborate with for this weekend challenge. Together, we’ll try our best to make a short film that will say something andinspire using Contemporary Dance and Live Art.
Wish us good luck.
Baraka (1992) Directed by Rob Fricke
‘Without words, cameras show us the world, with an emphasis not on “where,” but on “what’s there.” It begins with morning, natural landscapes and people at prayer: volcanoes, water falls, veldts, and forests; several hundred monks do a monkey chant. Indigenous peoples apply body paint; whole villages dance. The film moves to destruction of nature via logging, blasting, and strip mining. Images of poverty, rapid urban life, and factories give way to war, concentration camps, and mass graves. Ancient ruins come into view, and then a sacred river where pilgrims bathe and funeral pyres burn. Prayer and nature return. A monk rings a huge bell; stars wheel across the sky.’ Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
