From the first tutorial, I got recommendations from Vicky on stereoscopic moving image, a music video by IAMX called Bernadette and a short film by Martin Arnold which he kept repeating or going forward-backwards to create a new meaning to a scene.
Continuing my nightmare story, I got inspired by this animation video by Robert Ek. It gives an uncomfortable, unsettling feeling when you watch it. This one image illustrates how my first weeks in London felt like.

Because of this video, I tried to search for videos of the most unsatisfying things on Youtube. (Disclaimer: they’re unsatisfying in many ways).
From these videos, I decided to portray the idea of ‘nightmare’ with an agonizing video. I wanted to challenge myself by going out of my comfort zone; I’ve always been creating stills so storyboard and film are new for me. I also should practice more on editing, so I’d like to edit the video myself (with a little help from here and there).
I can’t decide for now whether to film all the scenes myself, pair it partially with footages from other works or completely making an experimental film with footages from other works to exercise storytelling through film. If I can’t get any studios this December I’d probably choose the last option or filming anything that I can this December and continue it in January.
