Palmer-Project Brief

Video Brief



The ART:

I want to evoke feelings of good memories in the viewers. I am highlighting that

even though people lose things or other people, these things can live on inside of you, and then they

really aren’t gone forever. I want to do some hazy shots trying to convey losing memories, as well as

longer shots on important items cut in with the scene of me reading the poem. 


HAL 9000

For this video, I want to focus on the aspect of slowly losing your mind, or succumbing to mental illness. I want to play with the audio, chop it up and add some effect to make it seem like a voice inside

someone’s head. I want shots of someone laying down, recounting things, yet realizing that they a

are slipping away.

I need an actor!

I'm looking for the King or Queen of the silver screen. (Failing that someone who can walk about ten feet without tripping over.) It's for the single shot piece that I'd like to make at the University campus library or Rawlings library on the south side of town. You can choose. All I want to do is record you asking for the film section, then picking out a book entitled 'How to film a single take short film.' and check it out as the camera follows you from around the other side of the book shelf & that is it. There's no cash being offered, but the Oscars are calling your name. However in exchange for your time I can volunteer mine, if you need a spare pair of hands in front of or behind the camera, or are stuck for ideas for your film (I've got a bunch bubbling away in the back of my mind) I'm willing to help you out.

Loop - A finished film ready for viewing.

Loosely based on my original idea submission this film has been made to include a predetermined number of scenes that have to be exactly 12, 6, 6, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 6, 6 & 12 seconds long and can be played in a seamless loop. It was recorded on a standard GoPro camera so the film quality is limited to standard definition. The music is a creative commons licensed piece by Blue Dot Sessions.
