Insect Young

Scenes of BRAY from the making of "cocoon" -- off the cutting room floor.

Please visit: http://www.braymusic.com.


Music:
Legions (War) by Zoë Keating.

Some words adapted from:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll.
(chapter: "Advice From A Caterpillar")



Narration:
Lily Berkebile

"To have the belief in the ability of actual flight."

"To be open, against the constructs of what we think is possible."

"Who are you?"

"Alice replied rather shyly; at least I know who I was, I think I must have changed..."

"To smile with a bug on your eye."

"Explain yourself..."


"I cannot explain myself, because I am not myself, you see."

"I don't see," said the caterpillar.


"Well, perhaps you have not found it so yet, but when you turn into a chrysalis, you will someday you know, and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you will feel it a little queer."


"Can a glove hang like a cocoon?"

"This fidgetty person, this creature all alone, confined in this interior space... Beauty, perseverance, crawling, crouched under a box with insects for company... All of these things I was hoping to use to accomplish this sense of longing, this poignant sort of misery, and loneliness."


"Hanging very delicately on this passionflower leaf, is a cocoon, which became a gulf fritillary butterfly, the following April."

(check this out at:) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Fritillary


"Feeling constricted in a tight space; feeling cocooned... wanting to be free. The struggle... striving for that, and yearning, longing for that."

This film still haunts me.

Pretty amazing film. I loved the way it was all put together, the editing, the music and some great scenes, 0.47 the guy with the antlers and at the end with the glove on the window. We don't know whether a metamorphosis is going on here or a psychological state of mind is manifesting itself visually. All in all superb, fav and 5*

Spooky, creepy, and cool!

[peebzzz]

The words being adapted from Alice in Wonderland makes me very happy.

I am a little bit in love with this video. Fave'd. I do wish I could hear you just a little better though.

I want to make a response to this. I feel inspired. I will find a decent camera and get back to you on the matter =]

your work is very strange and exciting. The glove at 5:51 just has me wild - it's like it's blooming. So arresting.
