A Brief Statement

The majority of my work in the realm of video will focus on memory, dreams, perceptions, and time.

I want to explore what happens when reality is inconsistent, when people speak without talking, and when the waking world is invaded by the unconscious mind.

Enjoy.

That was excellent. Really liked the angles you used and the effects you chose. Very good actress, she got right into it and made it look perfect.

Great video. the only thing i have a problem with, is the match shot of her coming through the door - Two totally different doors. The ending worked really well with the video. awesome. also that mysterious element i commented on in your last two videos, is there again. You're creating a bit of a style for yourself.

The match shot of the two doors was intentional. It's not quite what I originally envisioned, but I made due. I wanted to convey a sense that what you see as the waking world (when she is in the tanktop), isn't all the real. So the door shot acts as a waking dream, like when you enter a door to a closet and end up in an open field. Thanks for making mention of it!
