I'm still unsure of what aspect of time I'm going to look at, there are many things that orientate around time along with theories and so forth, so its hard to pinpoint what I want to do.
Looking into short films for a source of inspiration for time, no matter the topic. I found this short (11 minute) film.
What if you died and were given an opportunity to go back to your body?The Relativity of Time explores the surrealist journey of a selfish woman who never had time for anyone, as she roams trough the land of the souls trying to prove worthy to go back to her body.This short film was shot in three days in two locations, one is a green, fresh and pretty place, and the other is a lifeless wasteland.Our biggest challenge while shooting was the constant flying of US Airforce planes and the strong desert sun.The sun rays were dealt with lots of sunblock, lots of water and by taking refugee in the Van we rented.On the other hand, airplane sound was registered on 70% of the shots we took, and took me days of work to get rid of in the editing room.This was a very exciting and international experience. There were 7 nations represented on set at all times, and communication was always great!
