Candice conducted intensive interviews with seven pairs of identical twins and a single set of identical triplets after which she edited the footage and used it to create seven dual-channel video installations. Each pair of twins was filmed separately andwas asked the same kind...
Aesthetic Precendence
As far as the aesthetics of my project is concerned , I drew a lot of inspiration from Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience. This project by Times magazine presents a memorable video collection of dramatic testimonials from U.S. leaders, firefighters, flight attendants, veterans, family members and survivors who miraculously escaped from the collapse of the...

Super Awesome Shoot
So today I had a shoot with one of my friends. I just wanted practice with the camera and lights. Just to see if I could recreate the kind of aesthetic I am going for. I shot this using a green screen which was not a very good idea, because the resolution of the video...
Aesthetics
My goal is to have a clean sterile, uniform look , with a clean white background.
final sketches.
I decided the best way to create an experience for the viewer is to create a room. This will create a multisensory installation for the viewers. This will also create a safe, sterile environment. Each monitor represents a tribe , There is “conversation” between the screens.

The more I think about these preconceived notions, the more I am convinced that conversation is needed. These groups need a platform to talk and discuss, to hear each others views . A platform where there is no superiority , and each group gets an equal chance to let their views heard. A sort of round...
sketches,
