Insomnia (2008)

This is a film I created, filmed, and edited entirely on my own. It's a sort-of music video, or perhaps more of a visual interpretation, for the song "Insomnia" by Wintersleep. It's different from many things I've edited in the past, but I had a lot of fun doing so.

I wanted to try and portray the emotions, feelings, and images that one has on those nights where you just can't fall asleep. We've all had them, drifting in and out of consciousness, sometimes unsure of what is real and what isn't. I'd love to know how you think I did with it :)

A big thanks to Janesta Boudreau of the Sonic Entertainment Group and the band members for giving me the "go-ahead" to post this video on Facebook and YouTube!

Lyrics:

And I will not,
Grow tired,
Of crayon stars and fire.

The sunlight,
Has punctured tiny holes,
Of life.

I closed my eyes,
I held my breath,
I prayed for life,
And gasped for oxygen,
It wasn't there.

I couldn't see,
I prayed for light,
To scare the shadow out of me,
I couldn't sleep.
