RUN AND GUN

2013

For this piece, having to do with my everyday, I chose to show two very different activities that I partake in on a frequent basis: running and playing video games. I typically run at least two to four miles a day and if I am not busy with work I really enjoy playing video games in my spare time. I decided to juxtapose these two different activities in my life by overlapping sound bites from a call of duty gaming session over an easy two-mile jog I often take. This for me encompasses my everyday because they show two activities I often find myself doing. For me running is a peaceful and tranquil activity, overlapped with the constant sounds of guns, bombs, war sounds, and my occasional out burst provides an interesting contrast.

For this piece I filmed with a GoPro, and I recorded with my cellphone, after all I do use my iPhone every day.
