Dido's Aeneid Artwork

https://vimeo.com/69184858 Film still from an abstract re-telling of Virgil's 'The Aeneid' - told from the point of view of Dido, the suicidal female protagonist. The film incorporates twenty individual scenes which slowly and subtly merge, interconnect and contrast with one another to suggest the tragedy to come. A combination of experimental film techniques were used where I tried to use just as much on-set editing as off-set. I wanted my approach to be a physical endeavour, not just a digital one. Thus lens filters, coloured lights, animation, manipulation of photographs and matte painting whilst filming were some of the methods used to create the fantastical aesthetic I was pursuing. Classical and contemporary imagery have been used in tandem throughout the film. Allusion to what was and what is are two important properties running through the work. The moving image attempts to act as a vehicle of expression, suggesting the depth habitual in human character as well as the physical world throughout history.
