HD Energy Clip

Lets pump some energy back into this blog:

The above video is a short motion test for a divine/otherworldly 'presence' to be featured in a short film produced in Bristol. I say 'motion test' because I am still working on look development, expect lots of lovely minutely differing concept images to follow.

This presence represents the agnosticism of the director in that it is never revealed to be either spiritual or extraterestrial.

Conceptually: an excerpt from e-mail to the director:
I think the overall shape is very important – we should be able to denote an intelligent design while keeping it ambiguous – I think this would apply nicely:

 On top of that I think the energy emitted (be that light or some space bending element (distortion (similar to a heat wave))) could conform to patterns found in nature.

When you say ‘religious’ do you think of Christian iconography? I like the idea of something kaleidoscopic which could infer a more Buddist or Hindu origin i.e. Maṇḍalas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala
Personally I think my ‘big ball of energy’ was a bit of a copout –  it was mostly just me playing around without much forethought – I think the ‘perfect sphere’ is overdone in terms of representations of religious/alien presences.

Conceptual questions:
  • Has this Presence (I’m just going to call it that) travelled to Earth or is it appearing in the sky as if from nothing?
  • Are we implying that this Presence is responsible for the disappearances?
  • If Devine, could the light appear differently to each individual – i.e. is there a personal element – is the viewer (Rockford) seeing something personal to him? 
  • It is entirely missing the point but if you had to decided what is the light?
The pulse or beat of the energy – if it is massive then a slow, churning heart would likely sell it the scale. I think if the Presence has a definable structure then energy flowing at different speeds would denote a craft where as a consistent speed would be more suited to the pulse of a being or a cohesive ‘will’.
Less conceptual questions:
How big is it? Big enough to be seen from two very different locations.
How high in the sky?
Much less conceptual quesions:
Any and all camera/lens specs you can give me help me pre-empt any problems we might face further down the line. 

This video marks my first HD post to youtube... not the best user experience. After waiting 9 hours for upload (twice returning an error) the video then disappeared into the aether - so this happened:

Very difficult to write with ''privacy boxes" (...when you're trembling with rage!)

Nuclear, Solar, Zero Point, Geothermal, Kinetic, Electromagnetic!
That's every type of energy I can list in 22 seconds. See if you can beat me, it's such jolly good fun.


Shine on you crazy Blogosphere,
