Whose Business?

Every evening that I get a chance to sit down over dinner, I look at my Mint Salt and Pepper shaker. There is something so beautiful about not only the shapes and the fact that they interlock as if to hug, and not just because they are black and white. Somehow, these elements together make such a powerful statement. Sometimes I spread them apart as if they are longing for each other.

Today I was inspired to exploit this beauty in a series of pieces that will target the issue of diversity. The pieces will involve a potent choreography of timing and rhythm. The medium will be stop motion video. The three pieces will be different but should read as a coherent set. The music will be very very important and perhaps the most difficult part of the process.

First I must determine the context of each piece. What it is meant to convey. Then I will predetermine the goals of the piece and the choreography. Then I'll choose the music which best suits the piece. After listening to it over and over again and studying it's highs and lows I will begin to choreography the scene. Once the general idea is captured, the whole script needs to be written in terms of each individual shot and what happens.
