Meditation on Peace is a pixilation time lapse film in which a figure (filmmaker Keith Lock) practices Chen Taiji, while the world around him moves twenty to thirty times faster than usual. A natural Fade In and Fade Out is created by the sun rising and setting. The film is a riff on Maya Deren’s Meditation on Violence.

Shot on 2 rolls of Super 8 with all editing and effects done in camera. Shot with the help of my two teenage kids, as well as professionals, Patrick Jenkins, Jeff Tran and John Porter. Music is by Lee Pui Ming.

Commissioned by 8Fest 2015.
