Phoenix

This video actually serves as a "music video" for the song, "Phoenix" by friend, Katiti Matshaya. The goal of this video was to use the music and create a narrative around it using various images, and it also just a way for me to learn how to use video editing software. The video aims to convey two themes: 1. The idea of a phoenix - a mythical bird that near its death burns itself and rises from the ashes to start another life. 2. "Beauty in the destruction/distortion" There is an interesting distortion at the song's midpoint which juxtaposes the calm and surreal opening of the song. Therefore, I wanted to find imagery which would compliment the song's structure and the story. Watch now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9dpR1FLufR4?si=9tRJgV16kY9GeH1j
