This was an art school brief for over the 2008/9 winter break. The final edit managed to stay close to the original idea. Although this was a messy and uncomfortable process, the finished result evokes serenity and rhythm as well as an atmosphere of the uncanny.
This is the first experimental film made for its own sake. The music was created first and the visual images were sourced and recorded to accompany it. With a slow, minimalistic start, the music and images progress to a crescendo of intensity.
At the art school, we were given a simple project brief for over the winter break - make a self portrait using any means you like. I took the little camera with me as I walked the West Highland Way. The weather was appalling and I cut the trip short. Ultimately, the film took images of myself in the country and city. It became what it is - complemeted by some beautiful experimental music, courtesy of my brother Chris.
