Daily Program / Season #2: Tightrope Smile

This face came through and it immediately felt like a clown, but a dark and distant version. The spikes and the stare had a complete mood on their own, so I decided to make the loop do more with less. Instead of moving the face across the screen, I focused on the underlying motion using a push and pull zoom. It creates a precarious tension, like a forced grin. The soundtrack matches that feeling, using circus motifs with an uneasy edge to keep the loop circling. AI generated music by Birddog
