ABOUT:
7.8 billion dreams of tomorrow, the resolute heart beats for unity and peace.
Since birth it is reinforced that we live in a world separated by arbitrary division - politics, gender, borders, appearance. Though for the 7.8 billion of us to move forward together and take care of our home, Earth, we must connect with our own resolute heart, that gut instinct of hope and love, to remind one another that we are all linked with an innate desire to live in unity and peace. “Resolute Heart”, a song and music video by musician and filmmaker David Porteous, features only one character - unity.
ABOUT:
This is the world’s first music video for the deaf. This music video is my attempt at translating music into a visual form. My goal is to show the deaf community how recorded music is constructed. Each instrument in this video was created from scratch by filming various light sources. The size, texture and position of each 'visual instrument' reflects how the instrument was mixed in the audio recording. The colour of the instrument is significant with regard to it's pitch.
