The film, which had been temporarily titled "Fuzzy Dice" until I failed to find a pair of fuzzy dice for use anywhere in the film, focuses on the dream-like randomness of the hallucinogenic experience, and it was to this end that I created the film as a series of scenes, widely varied in nature, that had little to nothing connecting them. After an opening credit sequence that featured the word "Vision" moving around in a circle (which was not centered as an attempt to alter your visual expectations), our first scene consists of a discussion of purple. Louis, unseen for the majority of the scene, says that he is the essence of purple, and, upon cutting to him, we see him as a rudimentary visual depiction of the essence of purple, a random object created in FormZ, an extremely powerful 3D rendering program designed for use primarily in the field of architecture. The scene ends, and the first "music video" segment of the film begins, with Dave Matthews, "I Did It" (a song about hallucinogens) playing as the soundtrack, with visuals consisting of itunes (a program designed to use the waveforms in music as the source of a screensaver), zooms and distorted proportions in the video, and an After Effects sequence in which I animated construction-paper dots covering the walls of the apartment. Just a brief explanation
of the process on that one. |
