Mobius Production

From an evolution of ideas emanated this somewhat not so illustrious production. Perhaps we should have speculated more thoroughly with our vision of making pistons that moved up and down. But in the end this thing came out of it and I guess its not so bad. We were efficient in time, and produced something acceptable, if not exceptional. We shot it in a locker and put a sheet of shiny card behind it to bounce the light around in an emanating glow. We used card boxes ascending in size to create a small pyramid. These were originally black but I fiddled with the colours and things in premier to create this rather psychedelic strangeness that I would not really know what to call. It doesn't really need a name, and I like it this way.

I think Mobius is an amazing piece of contemporary urban design upon the landscape. If only temporary in existence, its physicality is preserved on film indefinitely.

The production used 21 fibre glass triangles in an ongoing succession, called a “stopcycle” it is a series of objects that sink into the ground and then return and loop. So, each piece has to be moved between each shot to create motion. The director would therefore need to consider many aspects of his environment. Some of these aspects might be traffic, lighting, permission (to use the location), and time.
