This project is a visual metaphor for death, and the possibilities of what lays in store for us on the other side. I decided to film Elmwood cemetery to capture the visual on death. The film starts with a smooth, almost peaceful ride through the graveyard
The transition occurs with bonfire footage from a previous film, to create an overpowering, silhouetted figure to represent a visual of Hell. Within the figure are lost souls dancing amongst the flames. The next transition occurs through multiple layers of cemetery grave footage, lightning and a spinning light reflection taken from a previous film. The ending transitions represent an abundance of deaths and the possibilities of where those people spirits ended up. When the lightning occurs, the motion of the cemetery shot speeds up to represent how fast life can disappear, and then you are left in the ground prepared for either the end, or possibly a new beginning.

Scene 2: (Silhouette of flames) Stone statue from Elmwood and footage of people dancing around a bonfire from Adam’s Basement
Scene 3: Multiple, variously angled cemetery shots from Elmwood, lightning and spinning light reflection from Terra Firma
Scene 4: Final cemetery shot (Panning into the ground) from Elmwood
