For this video, I started with the audio, compiling songs in garageband and creating my own simple single noted track intro using the keyboard piano to make it more personal. I wanted to be inspired by the song, creating a mood that was then translated into images that complimented the experience. This is my own interpretation but I wanted the audience to get the same emotional response from the combination of the song and pictures and create an atmosphere rather than a narrative. After finding the loops in Garageband that I wanted to use, I got a clear image in my mind of what I wanted the music to represent.
The mood it inspired brought me to a circus/acrobat theme and gave it a whimsical and magical quality. I wanted a more vintage look to the video as the music seemed a little nostalgic to me. I found footage of circus acts from the early 1900's and paired them with early photographs and advertisements from that time. To add to the atmosphere, I choose to put in some images of abstract light, twinkle lights, and blurred image of lights to make it almost dreamlike.
