Sketch 2:

You are at the station, tired, unclear about the time of the day, looking at the person waiting for a train that goes to the opposite direction. Is that just one man at the station at for the whole time? Are they different men? Is there a girl standing there looking at you? Or there isn’t anyone at all?

Filmed at Jolimont – MCG Station with my friend Castiel Cheng, Penny Wang and Gary Peng. Castiel and Gary were on the platform opposite to me and Penny, Castiel stayed at under the light as the person in frame and Gary was guarding as well as keeping continuity, Penny was at the same role as Gary while I was filming. Penny took the camera while I stood on the other side to be filmed.

Inspired by the Paris underground scene shown at the opening of ‘Hurricane’.

Sketch 3:

You are walking some where but can’t stay on your feet. You have hallucinations that a girl is walking towards you in the dark. You can’t see her face but it seems like you know who she is. Eventually you collapse.

Shoots of the street was filmed by myself on Lt Latrobe St and the ones showing skyline from a lane way was filmed on Union Ln, accompanied by Angus Ward in 2014.
Shoots of a girl walking in a park was filmed at MCG, staring Penny Wang, Castiel and her stayed on the phone for directions and Gary was guarding during the shoot.

Inspired by the jump-cuts and flashing shoots during the entire opening sequence of ‘Hurricane’.

Sketch 4:

You are a boxer, or you are trying to be one. You want to be tough but you’ve been lying on the ground. You can’t see who is around you, you don’t hear any sound. You are in a dream.

Filmed at T.U.F. Gym Melbourne with Naz Shah. Staring two boxing trainers Christopher and Mark. Lighting apart from the light in studio was a dido kit hired from RMIT. Sound was taken off at editing.

Sketch 5:

You are travelling in a city, you don’t know where you are and who is leading you. It’s an endless journey.

Inspired by the genre of music video and the theme ‘dreams’.

Sketch 6:

Is he dropping a book or picking up a book? The “book” can also be considered as a faith or a belief. Are you loosing it or holding on to it?

Filmed at RMIT near the courtyard. Starring Kevin Chan.

Inspired by the scene that a priest, a monk and a pope throwing their bibles and books to the fire at 5:55 in ‘Hurricane’.

Sketch 7:

You know, sometimes the dreams you have dreamt before come back to you. Sometimes one comes to you alone and sometimes they come to you together. Just like stress. They hit your dreams at once and you feel like you it’s too much for you to handle.

Footages are combined of previous sketches, background music: ‘L490’ by Thirty Seconds to Mars, from album ‘This Is War’. Sound effects are from free SFX downloading website.

Inspired by the theme ‘dreams’ and my daily life.
