Sparks
2009
Experimental Short, 8.5 minutes
Dir. Eric Bates
A short story about a young spark, on a journey to fulfill his dream of joining the fireworks.
This was my first project after coming to the Kyoto University of Art in 2008. I wanted to experiment with techniques and do something I hadn’t done before. There are a few techniques that I began using here that even made it into my graduation film. So it’s pretty exciting to see the progression, and how unexpected ideas can be a big influence on later works.
I also got to meet two really great bands, Nabowa and →Pia-no-jaC↠that were kind enough to let me use their music.
This was screened at the Pictoplazma Festival in Berlin, and at Open Studio at the Kyoto University of Art.
