the grass is always greener...

This film is the exploration of a singular space.  Two worlds exist here united only by the fence that divides them.  I wanted to show the relationship between these two worlds and the space they both exist within.  As I filmed this I tried to do a couple things.  The first of which was to create movement with the camera.  In each clip that makes up this short film the camera moves from left to right across the subject.  I'm really glad I used this particular strategy as it gives a strong sense being in the space rather than just observing it.  The other thing I did in the initial filming was to really utilize the depth of the area.  I knew if I shot very close to the objects on the fence that when those object ended the effect of seeing what was behind would be much more dramatic than had both layers been viewed together at all times.
