This began as a self photo. After cleaning and arranging my desk for a half hour, I took the photo and went to bed.
In the morning I wasn’t happy with it, so I spent the day working on it. The concept expanded and became the video.
This is my first time attempting to create a cohesive colour pallet beyond placing little coordinated accents in the frame. The characters, screen and drink are blue, and everything else in the frame is warm toned, with little accents of red. I originally planned on having a red light coming from the closet as it opened which would have added a great deal to it by indicating the slow door open before the appearance of the knife (which didn’t really translate), but the downfall of drinking and shooting is you forget stuff.
Thanks to Brent for being the only one of my lazy gatdamn roommates to stop drinking beer and watching TV for a minute to hide in a closet. Thanks to Katie Bishop for being in my movies and dating me. Thanks to Karl Leung for being a constant mentor and hooking me up with sweet TED gigs.
