ASSIGNMENT 7


For this assignment, I was in Thailand spending most of my time at a funeral, as I've mentioned earlier. I couldn't freely take photos of the ritual, mostly a mobile sneak - they also weren't exactly in a continuous coherent sequence as they could have been.  So it's quite hard for me to compile them to make a smooth story flow.  I had to use different video techniques to cover the entire sound clip with the photos short in stock.  Anyhow, the piece aims to depict the departure of one soul concurrent to the arrival of another.  As one family momentarily tries to capture and treasure the transience of existence, through earthly love, longings and attachment, they experience the universal inevitable.

PS: the new iMovie is kind of annoying. I couldn't get it to work properly so I ended up playing with Adobe Premiere Pro instead.
