/exhibition information
/The idea for this film emerged from a thread of abusive comments on a blog post; one commenter ‘shouted,’ “NOBODY EVER CHANGED ANYONE’S MIND BY CALLING THEM A F***ING IDIOT!!” Both the words and thoughts of the characters are represented visually in order to draw a sharp contrast between the civility of their behavior and the incivility of their thoughts.
INSIDE VOICE is made by animating sand and objects underlit and toplit under a Canon SLR, using Take5 capture software. The texture and limited palate of the sand and the malleability of the media facilitates the morphing transitions between thought and speech.
