Assignment 3 - Monumental Clock



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOMihzoD3ps

Humans build monuments, to date events, to mark their times, to remember important people, to remind the next generation what great happenings takes place before their time and what great people existed before them.


Monuments age, to tell the people that time is passing, to tell the people that it is here before this moment, that it had withstood the time to tell its story to the current generation and will continue to do so until it falls.

Monuments age, to tell people that nothing is eternal, that everything has a start but also an end, that things that rise will eventually fall and that one day everything will return to its primitive form, returning to Gaia.

Monuments remind us, that we are small, that we are specks of dust compared to the earth, and nothing compared to the great cosmos.

But that is why humans are prone to greatness.

We can build monument that scrapes the sky, block the sun light and cast a shadow across the land and can even make a mark on earth big enough to be seen from the heavens.

Monuments teaches us, that there is no such thing as eternity as everything will come to an end sooner or later as we know it, but it also tells us that every end is only the beginning of a new start.

Inspirational Videos

These openings are directed by Shinkai Makoto.
In my opinion these videos are just beautiful.
What i am looking at is his use of color and glare in the videos.
This creates a very atmospheric feel to the scene.

Assignment 2 Video

Narrative:
I stand as witness, a witness of the falling of a giant.


I witnessed the superstructure that once stands tall above all, now a lying in a heap; and all the elements that enables it to tower above everything else returned to its original form.

Concrete that are so robust in its form can reach for the skies because it has steel as its bones.

Walls that are strong and thick were once brick and stones.

Glass that looks pure, transparent and Omni can shatter to a million pieces.

I held my hand up, all I can see now are tissue that forms my skin and muscles, the veins that carries by blood, the molecules that forms the DNA strands in the cells, and the atoms that can be split to even smaller parts.

These are “all” the” ones” that make me “one”

Then I realise, everything is made the same.

I am just “one” of the witness in the crowd; the crowd is just one of the groups of people that belonged to this city; the city is one of many in this country; the county sits on a piece continent formed by many nations; the land, the sea and the atmosphere formed our beloved planet earth which sits on the third place in terms of distance of the sun that give warmth to its planets………

We are merely numbers to the country; we are no more than dusts to the planet; we are near to nothing if the universe decides to look at us.

Time is our judge, in the end we will become “one”, with the world, and with the universe.
