    Spooky! Once my sister and I were taking photos by our stairwell for a project and she was wearing this dress that was long enough to drape on the floor so when she tips over, it looked like she was floating. We cropped the photo so it would only be from the neck down and god it was freaky. I’ll try to link it when I find it.

    What’s the objective of the project?

    […] Here’s my attempt to mimic the horror-film-like quality of my sound from Exercise 3. It was really tempting to have a very literal visual interpretation of it. At first I was planning on using a gnome image to act like a thematic icon all throughout the video, and maybe somehow build a narrative based on that. However, I figured that instead of focusing on my personal definitions of fear, it’s better to start over and really re-think about the aesthetic qualities common to most horror films. […]
