Production Strategy

So this drift started out as a pretty long walk from my old house on 55th and North to my new house on 63rd and Milwaukee. I figured I would consume a lot of good material on this walk. I was wrong. I found myself recording and Photographing the same thing I did on the two previous Drifts. I didn't want this. I didn't want my third drift to resemble either of my other drifts, because I wanted to show growth. I wanted this drift to have a certain theme and emotion. The inspiration was from the song "Greet Death" by Explosions in the Sky (instrumental band). Let me say it was only the inspiration for my video. The sounds in my short video really don't resemble anything created by EITS. The tempo and rhythm really don't even resemble that of the song, but it is the feeling from the song I really tried to mimic. Towards the end of my drift I found the perfect place to collect all of the material I needed. It ended up being only about one hundred feet of deep tunnel. I think it worked though.
