- In Sydney modern art museum in 2007 was an interactive device looking like a big pool table. Everybody was free to come close and slowly put their hand on the surface. Then a geometric pattern would emerge from the same surface created by the heat of the hand. After staying there a couple of hours, we noticed that all those patterns were different. Some were similar but they were all unique in the way they were emitted by the hand and spreading on the surface. A contemplative essay about the energy in each of us.
- In the blinding daylight, characters stand immobile and mute. As the darkness come, they can finally hide and start to move. First in a shy and measured way ; but soon their bodies start pulsating, a vital stream penetrate them and they let it express itself. Energy is within us, we don't understand it but it is strong. Some will call it divine. We use it to fight, compete and survive. But when will we use it to free ourselves, and help one another ?

It was before all a spontaneous experiments for tries and errors and learn some digital techniques. We were a couple of designers willing to dig our teeth in technical problems. We took our time and enjoyed the process along the way. We always had a simple story which was that during daytime characters are immobile and when the night comes they animate and reveal their inner self. It is a bit like saying that your life happens at night in your dreams... When people say that all will is psychological not physical. "Its all in your mind"... The same philosophy also at work. We all have a day job, but it is what we do for ourselves and for free that we like most and keep us alive. A lot of code writers and software developers give away their work for free to the community. We are doing the same. Enjoying the ride. In the last years, with all the political things happening in the world and us beginning to be "conspiracies" advocate we started to hide a few humble and subtile political statements, or even religious. At the start it was supposed to be a music video to be given to a musician but it was taking too much time for the labels, so it became this weird experimental short film. We are just happy for the project to be finished :) and to rest quietly on this page. Better late than never.
This movie was just finished but was shot a long long time ago. Late 2007 (!) So ten years ago. It seems a lot that is true...Due to the modest production, this movie could only be done on the side. Most of us have a day job in the film industry and this project was from the start pushed away. This was shot with the first digital Red camera in Sydney. We all learned a lot from this project. Personally since this project started, I found my wife, had kids, changed jobs 5 times, renovated 3 houses and managed to finish this project that was very demanding considering the amount of digital visuals effects...
