Where I view my memories, I am always trying to re-capture my memories almost to the point where I would like each memory to be re-created as the same moment.
The point I wanted to get across with my videos on memory, was a sense of fun, and innocence, I decided to use the colour in my work the way I did because I wanted to express a clear crisp memory almost as though you could reach out and grab it.
I blurred the flowers so you know that the thought could fade and its not as fresh as when it happened, although I cut in and brought the flower into focus so you know that moment although faded can be re-created.
Looking back on the bridge scene was supposed to be fast, almost to a flickering image, because I didn't like crossing that bridge when I was younger.
The shots of mud was to represent as a child putting on our gumboots and walking along in the mud,
the shot was filmed fast as though that is a memory I would like to forget.
Finally the shots sitting under trees is how I still have a clear memory of sitting staring up at the clouds and thinking if I do that now I can instantly be taken back to that place it doesn't even have to be the same tree.
The shot of me from behind is a way of showing how I am looking back into my life.
The shot of the eye is to re-present looking through my eyes, although re-presenting today because its my sons eye and I want him to see what I used too.
The quickness and short shots are how brief that moment feels now.
