Season Two, Episode Five.
Designed by Jake Lodwick. Featuring Eric Lyle Lodwick, Jenna Levine. Music by Brian Jacobs.

I wanted to play with the 'wigglegram' technique I've seen in many animated gifs online. The result is more of a series of photographs than a video, and perhaps feels a bit out of place as an Odwick video.

I'm beginning to gain confidence in my approach to filmmaking, gaining clarity on my motives, my goals. It's really simple. I want to start telling stories. Not 'making videos' but telling stories in the medium of video (or film). If I could go back, I would make this video into a (short) story, but this motive clarity didn't come until too late in the project.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the piece, even though it's a bit insubstantial. We're halfway through the season yet, and honestly I feel that I'd just been warming up until now. The next five videos might be where it starts to get interesting, or, at least, where my ambition leads us to a strange new place.

    Love it! I recall seeing some 'wiggle grams' from Japan in the late 1800s that were just astounding. Made it feel like a real crystallized moment in time. So cool to see this technique used in video!

    So this is the story of... Random wigglegram? I enjoyed the video on it's own, especially it's brevity but I didn't perceive any story from it.

    "If I could go back, I would make this video into a (short) story..."

    You can always go back. Do it again and tell us the story. It's okay to break the rules, your own rules anyway.

    Many short fiction writers would probably agree that a great story doesn't tie all of the loose ends up neatly at the conclusion...rather it resonates and leaves the reader wanting (sometimes uncomfortably so) more. The spectrum of short fiction ranges from the "super short" story to (arguably) the novella. I would argue that this piece might fall into the "super short" category...and the wiggle effect absolutely creates visual resonance. I can't wait for the next!

    i cant figure out how this style is shot. is it a burst of photographs taken one after another? this wigglegram technique is just so cool to look at! it's a music-video dazzler :)
