I want the viewer to get the meaning from the video, sound, and music mix. Gentle at times and dramatic at other times, the video should convey the temporality of life, the temporality of all things, without the extraneous addition of a narrator.

There is a rainstorm sequence in the clip; you can hear the rain as it hits surrounding objects. I find that the rain is peaceful. A buoy bell sounds in the background, adding to the watery feeling of the scene. There is something romantic about the bell sounding. Maybe it is the stillness and emotional depth that I feel from its sound. It is eerie as it sounds in the still of the night; the scene is black. Really, it is hard to tell where it is shot because everything is dark except for a few occasional lightning strikes in the distance that reveal tree shapes and a blue sky. In my mind these objects, sounds, and scenes leave the viewer with a sense of mystical uncertainty. This conveys the meaning of life after death because it too is uncertain.

This video short describes life and how we pass from moment to moment with its drama and swings. There are sections in the video that describe something like darkness that is all around us, moments where we feel like we are drowning in life. I kept some of the sound from the clips intact, such as the rain on the water when I was snorkeling. I added music in the background that I think matches the video clip scenes. I end the video with visuals that show the fading of humanity. In the end, the flesh is overtaken by this world as we pass from it. I need to believe in something good, something peaceful, and something that I can look forward to that will happen after we die.
