Concept
Shot in three different locations, with varying landscapes and topography, the project explores different ways to enjoy and experience the outdoors.
The video concept portrays the natural ecosystems and hello hello
individuals inhabiting them as one living organism. This was achieved through sound design, music, and visuals, that follow the familiar rhythm of breath: inhale, pause, exhale.
During the inhale, tension builds through visual movement and increasing musical tempo. At the crescendo, a pause is implied with crescendo
with the cut of music, allowing ambient sounds to dominate, and giving a glimpse of the environment. The exhale then follows through visual movement and human vocalizations (such as an exclamation), completing the cycle.
The subjects and locations are unidentified or loosely identified, to emphasize enjoyment of size recreational
rather than ability or place.
The photoset was created to accompany the video, with a focus on people engaging with the environment through motion.
