Amy Waddell- Video Project

This video is meant to show how the interactions of everyday life are present in our faces and how how energy drifts in the direction of our inner mental states. I attempted to show this energy in the smoke and its movement through out the frames. Though I filmed the assignment in a very abstract way, I hope the sense of passing and looking back at the other is present even if on just a theoretical plane. I wanted the video to have a sense of quiet and calm yet with many different emotions present, I then wanted the video to move toward a playful and innocent feeling at the end. I interpreted the assignment for this project in showing how two people are in each others lives for a time and they interact and they often break apart from each other and yet the interaction can still hold a lot of significance and can be quite beautiful and calm or very emotional and deep. I used smoke because it moves and reacts to the environment in which it is in with a very beautiful flowing motion and yet can disperse within a second, this shows the idea of the only thing constant in life is change.
