noli me tangere
(2000)
Lightwave 5.6 rendered animation; 2:07 min
the zen of flicking a cigarette off a highway overpass at night
 |
 |
Woodwind sounds rise as the scene fades in from black... a silhouetted hand holding a cigarette is made visible only in flashes against the highway lit traffic below... bass violin chords strike with the passing of trucks... |
The camera follows the traffic inward, towards the overpass and the dark figure... |
 |
 |
With a jerk of the arm, the cigarette is cast over the side, tumbling down through the wind in a slow, graceful spin... Violins describe a repeating, dramatic theme... |
Time seems slowed down as the fall is measured only by the distant markers of blinking radio antenna... |
 |
 |
A heavy industrial rhythm emerges as the cigarette plummetts toward the traffic... |
Cymbals crash when it hits, and as sparks fly a deeper, rougher rhythm begins to cycle... |
 |
|
The smoke rises and twists until the oncoming truck runs directly over the cigarette and blacks out the camera... The rhythm continues over the end credits... |
