| Into The Light—Banana Heaven Awaits © 2012 Matthew Moore |
What would your life be like if you were a piece of fruit? Would you have friends, a job, offspring? What challenges would you have? Would you have enemies, predators or prey?
In the above images, I played with light and focus to express what a banana might experience at its end-of-life. I wanted to portray a top-down background light in an ominous way as to suggest "going into the light" and a soft out-of-focus essence to create a dream-like state. Luckily in post-production, I was able to create two different stories with the same shot. One where the banana was looking to the light much like a moth does to a flame just before perishing and the other as if the banana's spirit was moving towards the "heavenly light" on its final breath.
Hi Matthew,
ReplyDeleteI found your concept for the assignment to quite interesting and amusing. Your writing was easy to follow and entertaining. Thanks for a great post.
-Thanks, Andrew Pusbach
Your lighting, your concept, and even your stories are well thought out, but I still find myself wanting one part of the image to be in focus.
