Chimera.

For the End of Year Show, I decided to produce a short video piece influenced by the dreams I've had within the previous three months. I began documenting my dreams at the beginning of this semester in a pad now known as my 'Dream and Doodle Pad.' Alongside the text, I produced doodles as well.
I captured certain aspects from this pad and evolved them into visual reenactments, with the help of Amileigh Newson and Gareth Galley. I spoke over sections of the shots, to narrate them and to add more of a personal experience. This short film was 1 minute and 34 seconds long, as I wanted to portray the idea of loss of time during sleep. Dreams appear to last the entire night, however this is not the case. They usually vary from a few minutes long. The title of my piece is 'Chimera' as it's based on dreams, fantasy and delusion. The quick snapshots of the camera is to suggest the rapid eye movement endured during ones sleep and the reverse of the film is to portray one trying to puzzle together the dream, as I usually remember the end of a dream before the beginning.  

Above are two film stilts taken from my video, whilst it was playing at the show. My piece was shown on a projector in the Dark Room, along with three other artists' work.
