Departures_Train#2 is a short video created for the 2012 celebration of Art’s birthday. The media arts collective Video Pool, based in Winnipeg, Canada, put out a call to members for light-themed videos for their Lite Nite event held on January 17, 2012. This is my contribution, and my first attempt at abstract video. Using clips of out of focus lights (street lamps, traffic lights, headlights, signs) passing the window of the train as I departed from Vancouver BC, I attempted to use filters and compositing in editing to generate visual effects that reflect emotions I feel while traveling by train.
