self portrait

Film has the beautiful ability to take 1 single still collection of light and make the viewer believe that they're seeing part of a story.
so, too, does time create the illusion that our lives are a story with a beginning, a middle and an end.
illusion.
i believe that is not you- you are not the events you've experienced, but how you've experienced them; not the people you know but how you relate to them; not the hardships you've endured or overcome but the strengths or weaknesses discovered in the process.
The events in your life happen to unearth and unwrap who you are.

now putting that on film
i've been toying with the idea of doing a double exposure in post of two different things. the first being four simultaneous perspectives of one action. the second what is taken from those actions. and what those actions are will be a reflection of what i do- and what is "taken" or expressed or discovered personally in those actions.
or something like that.

i plan on sitting down this wednesday after class and planning what i want from this project. ( i hope i get some feedback on my other projects . . . i'm starting to feel that neurotic twitch of "o shit what if my shit is shit")
