Project Ttle: Multilingualism

The first film ‘Electric Dialogue’ demonstrates the productive outcome that takes place when we are able to communicate in a multilingual society. Shown through a light installation where each hanging bulb
is given an individual sound representing a spoken language. When
countries work together and the sounds come together, a new electrifying sequence is created which would not have been possible alone. The film will embody the concept that creativity and innovation come when individuals can work together: beats, like people, work best when they combine.

The second film ‘Production’ will show the detailed making of the installation demonstrating a linked theme that when people with
different skilled backgrounds work together, they are able
to create a more significant piece than when they work alone.
The piece will be as a result of being ‘multilingual’ within design.

Brief: D&AD Music Video, Pigsy in Space
Project Title: Vinyl 048643


It starts at the beginning, the creation. Vinyl tubes
come alive as they are charged with a luminous energy.
From the bowl of mixed liquids, the tubes separate,
their individual glowing colours combine and transport
them to a new place. The journey begins.

Colours travel up and down, twisting and turning,
changing direction bendng around one another,
individual tubes coil around each other and their
colours intertwine. This movement is a reflection
on the trials and tribulations of characters within
the ‘Monkey King Legend’, where two friends embark
on a fateful journey to the West.

As the tubes continue to animate, changing speed with the
music they become a mass of electric veins, increasingly
organic as though running through a living organism.

Filmed on location in a cupboard (painted black),
a spiders web of rope supporting the drapery of vinyl hose,
tubes filled with ink produced from crushed highlighter pens
and flourescent pigments. Manipulating the tubes by blowing
them and invading smaller tubes with a syringe, activated
the bubbles inside allowing the liquid to run freely.
