the price for being you
1st project SAE Institute '11
1. A frenetic voyage through the psychologically and socially turmoil
of a young talented player driven from obsession and greater devotion
towards success into the flawless and arrogant world of Billiard, yet
in dichotomy with his moral virtues and fear of loosing his human
essence.
2. Through hectic sequences portraying constant pressure, vehement
focus depicted by firm daily practice, our dazzling individual who's
identity is hidden, finds himself fighting between the exhausting and
obsessive quest of recognition to the most harmonious scenario
delighted by simple human pleasure, sharing with beloved ones. Few
animated and disorienting jumps through hoops follow this confused and
tired warrior bringing us to a truly staged reality, drifted from
desire to reason. A dark reflection of his in a window gives us the
clue of his rumination about his persona, who he is, what he needs and
where he should go?
3. Our considerate nature possessing incognito, is moved by dogmatic
persistence and definitely nerdy approach to his profound organized
daily notes made in AutoCAD! So addicted to this "game", that his
first action after stepping out of bed is shooting on his pool table
just beside. Extreme persistence mounted by grueling hours of training
lead him towards drainage of mental and physical self. Inevitable
retreat from society, mostly loved ones, who are found to be part of
the inutile reach to obtain attention they deserve. We hear his speedy
breathing while running desperate... Constant pressure and most surely
unchangingly confrontation with oneself and the others, takes us
through energetic and wild images depicting a state of inner and outer
madness, where perfectionism and simmering resentment manipulate our
concealed character in solemn need of tranquility. Most giving and
sometimes behaving too casually to enable survival among the burning
eyes in the "Arena", ruled by ruthless individuals blinded by the
pursuit of gaining leadership and most tempting, power. Drowned into
delusion, loosing any perception of time or space, presented by
blurred shots, ticking clock, time-lapses... but adrenalin pumping
intensely through his veins sourced by the glorious feeling of
accomplishment is a pricy dangerous drogue.
