Context

The format of the final video was largely inspired by youtube content creators who make “supercuts” - mashups of many different but related videos all in one video. Supercuts often go viral because the viewer would rather find all of the content that they are looking for in a single video as opposed to looking for content themselves. In a way my video is a supercut, but only by format. Clearly, no viewer wants to find a supercut of suspenseful videos that end too quickly. However from a technical perspective the work was inspired by these cuts. The actual content of the work was additionally inspired by Kyle Bean and Aaron Tilley’s photograhy series In Anxious Anticipation. I wanted in part to see if I could replicate the anxious tone of their photos, but in an animated context.
