About
o - the mayan word for consciousness, the zen symbol of formlessness, the sound you make when you see something pretty.
Recycling footage both old and new from past filmmakers and today's 3D artists,
Soul Studios presents a music film with new narratives about various aspects of life -
war, entertainment, the digital age - all tuned to the key of music.
Both music and visuals carry equal focus and each individual story is part of a large framework, the cycle of a day.
Carrying on the tradition of other wordless films, 'o' presents stories using more subtle languages of sound and visuals.
There's a sense of humour at work as well as a social consciousness, and the contributors know not to put their audience on the spot.
Too lightweight for 'art', too artistic to be seen as pure amusement, 'o' will enlighten and delight.
