All the things you didn’t say
Pespectives - Antonio from BaseMOTION on Vimeo
Stumbled upon this project by the creative studio Base Motion and I thought it was pretty neat:
While interviews traditionally present what people say, in Perspectives the interviewees don’t actually say anything. With the spoken portion of the footage edited out, Perspectives leaves only body language, pauses for thought, and interjections to do the communicating.
Typically people think of “content” only as what’s literally being said. The content of “Perspectives” is based on the idea that what’s not being said says something of its own.

Reminds just a little bit of Bas Jan Ader’s powerful silent short, “I’m too sad to tell you”
When our focus is limited, it is amazing how clear things can suddenly become. I wonder how different the world might appear if I couldn’t hear anything. How much more might I see?
