"Nights Through the Window"

Here is the final for "Nights Through the Window":



This is part of the identities "box" module. This piece is played when the user clicks the camera inside the suitcase, which represents my love for photography. Throughout my life and travels, I have always had a camera to document my experiences. In particular, landscape shots have always interested me and I wanted to use the technique of pixilation to make the landscape come alive. I chose to do a night landscape with a full moon to give it a mystical atmosphere, as the full moon and night is associated with many mystical things. Additionally, the title refers to insomnia and I tried to show the frustration of insomnia through the interuption of the sequence with a black screen and red writing saying "@#$#%^% Window!". This is done right before the tone changes to a more aggressive one through the red window and the red haze in the landscape.

Here is some of the inspiration I had for this piece:
