The CORNFIELD Movie - Artstory animation and conceptual storyboard 10 min
The Cornfield Movie presents an initial cinematic experiment to gather and animate the various elements of Cornfield - a visual expansion of the Artstory through pictures in motion. Currently the Cornfield Movie functions as a conceptual draft for a richer and more elaborate cinematic experience. The sound track married to the animation is entitled Four Sea Interludes by English composer Benjamin Britten, conducted by Leonard Bernstein. This powerful and beautiful music evokes the moods of the ever-changing seas, conjuring the sound of the constantly emerging, growing, and dissolving forms of Life. These are the energies of Cornfield . . the sea of Maize.
The theme of Cornfield is simple, and the thread of that simplicity can be easily followed in the trajectory of its cinematic component. From a spark in the fertile ground of pure potential there arises a great throb of energy, motion, and meaning . . . resolving itself into stillness once again - the cycle of Life, a play of Consciousness.
