Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge): A Short Film

Here is a short film, which is a music video for Jay Electronica's "Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge)" For my Comm 609 Interactive Media Class at Wichita State University. The video stars my brother Josh as he goes through a day in his life. But not really, the story is driven by the song but created by me, who also directed. The audio is 100% the song nothing added. Even the movie clips are part of the song, so I found the clips and made them part of the film. It actually helps drive the story a lot. I should add that this is 1 song, just four different parts to it. Follow me at my blog http://prefectpicturespresents.tumblr.com/

Thanks you. his laughter is more of reflection point for him, getting back to himself and moving past all that has happened. The Wonka clip is kind of parellel in theme.

[Varunner]

@Varunner ,hey is that your school,cause I always dreamed of going to a school like that just to get away from home.

[Varunner]

@machineguncity Yeah this is actually Southwestern College in Winfield, KS. A small private school. The video doesnt do much justice cuz I made the majority over a holiday weekend when no one was around. But it houses about 600 undergraduates. Great school. I can't say that i've listened to too much evidence but thanks for suggesting. Thanks for watching, i appreciate it.

[machineguncity]

@Varunner , did you ever listen to evidence the weatherman lp? I think it would be great for any videos youre making.

@aaron57a it is from the movie "Turtles Can Fly" and they are speaking kurdish. the scene in this song is when a group of young boys runs to a minefield to see a small child in the middle of all the mines. they are trying to talk him through the situation. when you watch the movie, they dialogue will continue and you will find that the little boy is killed by a bomb

Does anyone know what language the prelude to voodooman is in...with the kids? And the land mine?

[fourmoyle]

Good stuff, good work. I get all of it excepting for the last bits. Is he remembering the clip of Willy Wonka at the end, laughing to himself on the playground?

Favourited.
