[a conversaPon] Ongoing Project

Director/Director of Photography/Editor/Producer

• A simple concept of normalizing the things that make us who we are. Focusing on diversity and posi:ve ways of thinking as opposed to the nega:ve stories social media feeds on. Furthermore, the inten:on was to create a new way of indulging in interviews, for magazine websites, for example, by keeping the wriBen format and adding a larger visual element rather than just scrolling and looking at pictures. Save that for the print.

Three dancers represent one individuals inner feelings about himself and the way the world works. The first dancer represents the normal, the second dancer represents depression, and the last dancer represents happiness. Each person is dressed in the way they feel. First dancer is neutral, second is dark, and the last is bright. The ligh:ng is a representa:on of the outside view of each dancer. The first dancer is lit neutrally, which is just normal. The second dancer is lit brightly, which represents the acknowledgement and spotlight people give nega:vity. The third dancer is lit darkly, which represents the lack of care and aBen:on people give to someone moving up.
