We all get lost in patterns, for some of us they can be totally consuming,” says director Tom Wakeling explaining the movitation by his meditative short film Pattern.
“I wanted to make a film about the feeling of being totally consumed by one thought. A thought that endlessly repeats, that spirals out of control until there’s nothing of you left.”
Augmented by a wonderful score by composer Evan Gildersleeve, the hypnotic film was shot by DP Nick Morris on 16mm at the Kimmeridge Ledges of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England.
It’s a remarkable achievement in that the light effect – which symbolises the repetitive thought as a single beam duplicated then stacked back in time – is real, no CGI was used in its creation.
