  2. This flower as an analogy for the plucking of millions of acres of forest; by us; by you; by me.

    Here's some stats for everyone:

    *Rainforest are home to about 50% of the world's species.
    *Each day at least 80,000 acres of forest disappear from earth and another 80,000 acres of forest are degraded.

    *Deforestation accounts for up to 25% of global emissions of heat trapping gasses (14% transit and industry; 3% aviation.)

  5. Sisyphus, the frog - 2nd version

    The image of this frog which almost vainly tries to escape the artificial world, is reminiscent of Sisyphus. He had gotten the eternal punishment to push a heavy boulder up a steep hill, only to watch it roll back down into the depths. The gods punished him because he had tried to circumvent their laws, and thus nature.

    The HD quality allows the viewer very close to the frog. The video shows the unease of the frog exposed to the artificial, blue-green polyester imitation of him otherwise so familiar surroundings. The synchronization with the music makes it a bit painfully lighter to watch. Yma Sumac's 'Chuncho' makes it seem as if the frog is consenting in this circus act which we make him perform.

    Music: Yma Sumac - Chuncho (Forest Creatures)

One of the things we learned in college for videography was to take one subject and make it interesting, even though in reality, it's boring with one shot. I wish I still had my footage from then so I could use it as a sample, but I'll do a new one to show you what I mean. I'm going to take a mailbox, and only the mailbox, and make it interesting by showing different shots, pans, and angles. You can take anything you want, as long as it's one subject only. Could be a person, a thing, animal, tree, you name it.
I'll upload the mailbox later once i'm done shooting and editing.
Have fun! *Remember, play with pans, close-ups, different angles...
