Experimental Found Footage from Laura Chong on Vimeo.
My original concepts were based on the story of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and combining that with found imagery. I really liked the story and the idea of found imagery but I didnt really have a direction to take it. I then moved on to the idea of using found imagery from the 50's. I found a really good library book full of quirky 50's advertising.
From there, I started looking at found footage from the 50's and came across all this really good stuff from archive.org which lets you use their stuff free. I decided on creating this experimental piece, using really random bits of found footage with quotes from the book. Instead of just quoting it in English I decided on using different European languages to enhance that feeling of obscurity.
