Synopsis:

“What would the world be like from an underground perspective?”

SURFACE is an experimental film, exploring the emotional journey from an underground urban perspective. This 'urban symphony' transforms human actions and street objects into beats that harmoniously compose a grand audio and visual composition. The film emphasizes the ideas of ‘point of contact’, ‘human identity’ and notion of ‘live footprints’.

SURFACE is a part of UND-VIS, a thesis project for MFA Design and Technology, Parsons The New School for Design. UND-VIS : Under Vision Experiment; explores the new visual language of an unconventional perspective from below.

    This is great ! Incredible work ! I'm not sure the "story" is apropriate, for exemple, the crash at the end and toilet thing :-)
    I think this concept idea is more powerful than a simple anecdote... But, I repeat, this is a piece of art !
  • TU+ 2 years ago
    Thanks for ur comment. I discarded the narrative and instead intend to crate emotional journey. This is part one of the experiment, and I agree with you that it is a powerful concept. Next film will surely focus more on the narrative.

    Like the idea very much, if everything that is happening above the surface could link and create a little story would add a powerful flavor, otherwise this is a great piece to watch.

    this will probably be the dumbest comment you receive on this video: the sound (especially the footsteps) was nauseating...to no fault of your own...i guess i never realized until now....close-up sounds are rather claustrophobic....dumb, and disregard...

    great video. i've been thinking about how it woulb be to see the world from below since i read about an expedition to the antartic where the photographer walked on the ice and a group of orcs tried to break the ice below to eat him.

    The visual was great. I don't think I've seen anything quite like this. The Sound Design, however, was pretty mediocre. This is a style of sound design that was very popular in advertising in the 90s. No doubt because of the off-broadway show STOMP.

    It's perfect. Crash and toilet are perfect. Judgement by the viewer is always present in life. What the viewer expects is not always possible to give. Life is full of surprise. It's perfect. Thanks. (I admit being surprised at the bug life perspective at the end, nevertheless, it's perfect!)
