There is a kind of loneliness when you experience deep water, no lights, no creatures, but just yourself, your breath, and the sound of water.

 

It was accidentally created while hanging an action camera onto my scuba diving gears to record my night-diving journey. The situation was not planned, and I got lost with my diving partners, some of them disappeared in the darkness, and some were trapped by the fishing nets under the water. I was in a panic, struggle emotions, trying to multitask in that situation. I remember, the film was about an hour-long, but I tripped it into a 5-minuets short clip which I found there is already a lot of different stuff happening in that darkness. I can feel there is up and down, and it brings out a kind of openness for the viewers to imagine while there are a lot of breathing noises and light flashing around and could make people not really comfortable watching it in a long time.
On the other hand, I hope the filming tools could be something really similar to other traditional tools to create a work of art. A traditional tool like a brush can create a lot of strokes with a variety of weights, mass, thickness, speed, etc. This is not only because we have the freedom to use a tool, or even to control a tool. Yet, it is about understanding, we understand the tool we chose and the material we used. So, instead of just using a function or purpose that a tool was created for, the tool itself gave us the permission to explore with it, to play it, to handle it differently. And this should be applied to any other “new” tools, like a filming camera.
