exp.05 is a completely appropriated video work. At the time it was created I was working on a large compilation of video material for projection at a dance party. Working away in the studio I heard for the first time the track "Just Like You Imagined" by Nine Inch Nails and, in a flash of inspiration, I saw how all the footage I had been collating could perfectly fit for the track.

The video is sampling from various documentaries and films in around the themes of sci-fi, neurology & space travel.

exp.05 is part of a series of five videos I did during my TAFE studies that explored basic experimentation with the time-based visual medium: light, colour, text, zoom, shake, editing & compositing, After Effects, iMovie, Final Cut, Sampling, still image & 3D.

Sampling & Editing: M. Leaf-Tierney
