This was shot on Sunday after sitting in my recording room brainstorming ideas when I realized I left my headphones in another room. I was struck with the idea of making continuous space by shooting multiple shots on the same camera direction but in different spots to create the illusion of my arm stretching to grab something while my body sits in a chair.
The music was an intentional addition as the audio of me breathing and making other sounds would break the illusion as you could hear the rest of my body being closer to the camera than I would like it to seem. The grabbing of incorrect items in different spaces I believe helps add to the effect that I am blindly letting my arm move through space while making educated guesses due to having no visual queues. I had a lot of fun trying to ensure my arm moved as straight forward and back as possible so that the stretch illusion would work best rather than it seeming like I have a bunch of joints all extending outward.
