Airport

I rarely play with video because of a couple of reasons. Mostly its because I don’t have a decent video camera for it. One day I would love to have one of many of these nice little HD camcorders available but who knows if that will ever happen. I am more likely to get a 5D II then that. This leaves me with the only little camera I have, a tiny little thing that records digitally into a weird proprietary format that’s hard to work with and its recording quality is sort of.. well, there is no quality really. Looking back at some of the videos I made with it I came across this little 30 second clip that I extended to about two minutes with music and some subtle shifting in time. After watching it a number of times over I have grown to like it.

There are these three things you can follow along with in it. The three people, the car, and the plane. They all sort of interact with each other within the events that occur diring the short period of time and the added music from Wixel (such a beautiful song) adds something to it that pulls it all together into this slow moving piece of life. I love the subtle movement of the ghosts of these duplicate movements and the way they interact.. Maybe you will enjoy it. Maybe it will bore you, but I thought I would share it here all the same.

    It was not boring at all. I enjoyed it very much. A moment of peace and meditation. Makes you think for a while… The music is indeed very good…
    thanks for sharing

    It’s brilliant! The ghost images give the impression of imprints of the past.
