Next Frame Student Film Festival

by Sarah Orenstein, Beta SP NTSC PAL, 4 min. and 33 seconds

Windows, masks, and doors first appealed to me in their uses of intentionally concealing and revealing.  This seemed like a marvelous way to expose space and characters.  Both visual and aural motifs are utilized to create an old radio music box and it’s conductor who tunes a medley of tracks revealing masked players hidden.  Tinkering with the idea of a music conductor/train conductor and music tracks/train tracks, the viewer is given a carnival ride on a toy train through the perpetually changing sets of the radio and the shadowy imagination of a masked traveler.
