Home Life

I have few words at the moment for which I'd like to express. Instead, I'll backtrack a little bit:



(because the video quality is so poor, below are all the words in their respective order that are not legible at the bottom of the video window)

•g. q. productions presents...
•Home LIFE
•I sometimes want to go far away to study life on Earth...
•However, today I realized that I don't really have to travel far...
•For beyond the walls of my own home
•There is life
•and it continues with or without me.
•From the ground
•to the sky
•things are born
•and some things die.
•there is so much to discover
•and behind most things
•there is beauty.
•can you see it?
________________________________
This was a video I made about two years ago, I believe; not quite sure. I remember renting a camera from the Tech Library and simply feeling the urge to run the camera. I usually have an idea in my mind of what I want to accomplish but of course there is always room for error yet more importantly, more imagination.

I like to think of this as a sample of what I would like to do in my life: Show a different perspectives of persons, places, and things.

I absolutely love matching music with video footage as I firmly believe that music makes all the difference in a film of any kind. I give my praises to Andrew Bird and his band for their wonderfully inspiring music.

more later,

Gabe, this is an INCREDIBLE video. So simple. So beautiful.

I LOVED how you juxtaposed the images with Andrew Bird..especially that version of Scythian Empires. Music does make all the difference.
I hope you keep making videos.
