Lonely

A short video piece I made in 1997, edited at the local public access station I used to volunteer at then, and shot outside around and about the building where the station was located. I tried to piece toegther a statement using the everyday objects and places that surround a person, and how such progress and technology that said objects and places represent can really make a person seem small in the whole of things...

In hindsight, I noticed that this video has a bit of a zen-like Bill Viola flavor to it--and I made this before I ever saw any of Bill's work......

Yes, a sequel is definitely in order soon, I'm thinking of shooting indoor scenes for it instead (and more emphasis on the sound as well, the natural sound on this video is a bit low, but I was going for more emphasis on the visuals).

You've got to go back to these places and make a part 2! I love the seeing these old bankomats and everything, crazy to think how dated some things already look. Would love to see the same places today. Also would be cool to have a little condenser mic action going and get the atmospheric sounds as well. John Cage style :)
