SUMMER OF LOVE
time project
In my video, my goal was to recreate the energy and exploration from the late sixties and early seventies in San Francisco, California. My house is 45 minutes away from the city so I have spent a lot of time there. I have always loved San Francisco and the music that resulted from the counterculture which is why I decided on this topic. My video is a flashback in time to 1969. I wanted to create a visual experience that was similar to the imagery that the individuals in my video were seeing. To do so, I made a fast-paced, psychedelic video that recaptured the energy from San Francisco. The video represents my own interpretation of San Francisco from the Summer of Love. Each song characterizes a different aspect of life during the time. I wanted to capture a sense of community, love, acceptance, and creativity in my video. This was the first video project I had created and I was happy with how the video turned out.
