Breakdown: Overload

An experimental short using footage from a shoot that had to be scrapped and audio from previous projects of mine.

This was a short experimental short I made for my experimental film class. When I attempted to shoot my senior thesis film, Starch Contrast, I ran into an unfortunate situation that made it so I had to completely change filming locations and also start from scratch. This meant the footage I had shot on Day 1 was no longer usable. However, I was determined to do something with the footage. When I was looking through it, I remembered how similar the framing of a lot of shots were. So I threw it into Premiere and played around with the opacity until I came up with something very interesting. I then went through some old projects and threw in some audio that would contrast but also somewhat flow together. The final product was fascinating, and I’m quite proud of it. It’s also the first time I’ve edited something I directed. Check it out!
