Final Project Proposal

EXPERIMENTAL Through spinning wheels and splattering paints, I want to create a short film that alludes to the industrial/organic balance. Technology and biology (the organic) are often presented in a dueling dichotomy. I feel it is important to express the symmetry of the two. Nature feeds man. Man feeds technology. Technology feeds nature. They coexist and are cyclical in their essence. I am using a bicycle wheel to embody the industrial and/or technological. It is made of metals and solid in form, yet its fluid motion evokes a calming organic sensibility. The ink and paint drips mimic the organic in biology. I will be using bright colors as that of scientists' dyes. I want to open with the spinning hub and expand outward, showing the full wheel in rotation. I want to unfold smooth, seamless transitions between the wheel(s) and the fluid paint: droplets, spills and swirls. To better visually harmonize the two materials, I plan on using some bright colored spoke lights on the wheels. This should give it a more un-interrupted ambience. The goal is portraying one cohesive unit. I want to demonstrate a crisp but satisfying symphony. It will be captivating, yet simply meditative. My prime audience would be men or women, 40-60, who feel they belong only to categories and stereotypes, who still feel the need to categorize and classify, and who feel there is always a need for division.
