Chops

Abstract Live-action Film & Editing

Chops is one of my second year films from my Animation Degree, created using live-action footage of friends and family. It is an experimental film on eating, focusing on mouths using editing and sound.

This film portrays my own phobias and disgusts with watching people eat and the movement of tongues. This film was made for people with similar phobias and any audience that can relate to seeing someone else scoff food!

Aims for Chops were to learn the most about editing footage and clips together and working on constructing a similarly complex soundtrack. By using various compilation programs such as Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro, the film was created through several stages of directing, filming and cutting down hours of different recordings to achieve the best result.

Tim Webb’s 15th February influenced me by the use of his repetitive techniques alongside the up closeness of the face revealing raw detail.
