Director's statement
Building on a foundation of realism, I employed a collage technique, using media as the dimension of the collage. By combining film segments that strive for realism with internet videos (Vlogs), the narrative progresses in a linear timeline.
This work portrays the lives of internet influencers, using various internet videos to capture the essence of this group. By leveraging the unique characteristics of the media itself, the film achieves a unity of form and content, offering a perspective that is at times calm and at times vibrant.
