DROPLETS

This is my graduation movie at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz.

DROPLETS is a movie about ideas. But it’s mostly a movie about the feelings, when you have no idea. Oppression, disorientation and fear can be paralyzing, but are often a very important element on the way to the perfect idea. The movie DROPLETS shows this feelings in an experimental way.

    I friggin LOVE the music/sound, the transition from the rope to the black-ink object, the ending, the transformation of the shell to a mechanical object.. Whole thing in general very impressive :)
    I think the moment of the bird's/wings' destruction best illustrates the emotional state you describe.
