A Haiku poem: Japanese poem that consists of 3 sentences with a 5-7-5 syllables structure.

Sometimes slowing down

is okay but just don’t stop

and ready set go 

This was my attempt at the haiku poem but didn’t really turn out to be a poem more like one sentence broken up into three parts. The 5-7-5 syllable structure’s definitely there though.

I used music provided by Brian from the shared google doc folder and credited it at the end. The opening title ‘Haiku’ positioned vertically resembles the Japanese feel of a Haiku poem since traditional Japanese literature were written vertically.

The poem was inspired by the footage of the traffic lights turning red, orange and green. The rest of the footages of the buildings were cut short and assembled that way to create rhythm and add variety. I also tried to composite the texts and footages as interesting as possible and at the same time to sync to the music.

However overall one thing I wish I could better would be the quality of the video. I think because during the process of scaling up some of the the framesizes of the footages, the resolution just failed.
