Water Body is a film that explores the sensations associated with being underwater. The film makes use of vivid orange and blue light, first person camera angles and abstract imagery to create an effect of augmented reality.
It captures both an external experience, depicted through the human body moving through water, as well as an internal experience, shown through imagery that resembles electrical impulses. The latter is a portrayal of the electro-chemical reactions that make up human thought and an attempt to render the internal human form through visual abstraction.

The film also explores relationships between tension and calmness. This is done through varying the level of stillness both in the body depicted, as well as in the lighting and the camera stability.

Viewing Instructions.
Sound.
It is best to view the film with headphones as it is important for the sound to be close to your ears, as it would be when actually underwater.
Holding Your Breath.
When the first black screen appears, you may try to hold your breath until the end of the final black screen and the disappearance of the underwater audio track. This will take just over one minute. The reason for holding your breath is that it allows you to fully connect your own physical sensations to elements of what is being described on the screen.
