Silly Film

A film in response to a class at SFAI, thinking about surveillance.
Its funny, i had thought the idea ofsurveillance, had been done already: that Orwell's 1984, and Channel 4's Big Brother had already chewed it over enough times. But recently i've heard the phrase bandied around.
Talking about it today, i guess it is being reconsidered again as technologies develop? Everyone talks about the volume of CCTV in London, the most captured city. I find the extent of personal cameras insane.
I guess in this clip i was taking the piss out of our attitude to surveillance, more than surveillance itself. the eye of a monster.
We fantasize forever about the number of times we are photographed everyday, and who might be watching, and what they might do with the information. the unknown God of cameras, sees all that we do, and judges us for it!
Take me to camera heaven, for thine is the Kingdom.
