Short video inspired by It

[jeddah]

Hi,

I thought at the risk of something appearing to be shameless self-promo, that forum members whose favourite book is It (followed by Duma Key and then Michael McDowell’s The Elementals) may be interested in this short film I produced as part of my University degree.

I’m at the University of East London in the second year of my Urban Dance degree. One of our assignments was to produce a piece of dance for camera as the choreographic principles are different than those for stage. My video is a response to the site called Channelsea River in Stratford (East London, next to the Olympic site). When I had a look the tide was in and so the arches were completely submerged but on subsequent visits I saw so many structures that I wanted to explore as part of the video and they all reminded me of It.

Essentially the narrative is about a clown who takes the souls of people, signified by a balloon, and a sandbag over their head. Anyway, I thought I’d share it with you. I know it’s rough but...

Ps. Yes I finally got the make-up off my face lol

That was very cool and creepy thanks!
Good luck at school and keep up the good work. Good thing about the make-up, it might have made for a friendless life otherwise.

You played the clown? cool...I like seeing where Stephen King's world meets others...
..looked like a dash o' the Wicker Man in there too...interesting...

Pennywise meets a Janet Jackson video-and I mean that as a compliment...good stuff and thank God for Noxzema eh?

Thank you for a) taking time to view it and b) the compliments. I want to revisit it one day and do it properly so i'll nag you about it then.

In the meantime my current piece is called Terrible Gods.... this time I play a statue pharoah that comes to life and battles with a statue of Kali. Using kathak and vogue influences - rehearsal log snippits are on youtube under urbanshake - if you're into Battlestar Galactica you may recognise the music...but the performance is tomorrow! Wish me luck... (pleeeeeeeeeeez).

(@giftshoparty) - yes I played the clown. I find doing weird easier than doing pretty lol.
