I think back now to a karaoke video that I edited after starting off my year ending up at a lake in the Gunma/Saitama prefecture, filming ducks and swans and feeling that the ambiance of the shots was in line with a “karaoke video” so I made one using the footage. But this is an idea that maybe had more than zero thought, with more than zero preplanning or consideration really.
But also I started thinking about Andrew Thomas Huang’s work, beginning from this FKA Twigs video that just got released called Cellophane, which seems like afairly big budget extravagant execution of a idea that maybe has a foundational grounding on something that is relatively simple. FKA Twigs engages in a poledancing routine as the lyricism and overall feeling of the choreography concerns perhaps a failed relationship, then in the video, FKA Twigs is just perpetually falling. I started trying to look into Andrew Thomas Huangs other work and came across some ridiculous stuff
This film that is soon to come out and his other work seems to highlight such bright colours with, like darkness and it highlights it so much more? As a group we’re going to try to build on scenes that are of a particular style too. They are of a “hip hop’ style, but the structure of the idea involves a car scene, and a flash back desire. In my head I picture this as something that is inherently existential… I wonder what the others think
