Kahlil Joseph - Until The Quiet Comes (Inspiration)

Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes

I was listening to the Until The Quiet Comes album and I found myself re-watching this short film and I admired the resourcefulness of Kahlil Joseph to create a music video, short film rather, of a hybrid structure: narrative and performance, and how he used interpretive dance to bring in the element of performance as majority of the music is electronically produced and makes it exceedingly difficult to incorporate into a video. I feel that, as a group, we need to devise a way to bring in an element of performance as our song choice is likely going to be electronically made.

I also enjoyed the sound editing in slowing the tempo of See Thru To You at the beginning to give the video an ominous effect and the helped enrich the dramatic effect of the narrative. Also, the editing of three songs to keep the audience interested as a lot of the music in the album is ambient and also, it marked a transition in the narrative.

The slow motion of the dancing with the slow speed of the music complimented each other perfectly and the lifelessness of the background actors and the life of the 'dead' actor gave the video a hauntingly beautiful effect.
