Synesthesia and cymatics are really interesting topics for
me. I had never heard of cymatics before so when it was brought up in class I
was really surprised to see all those sounds literally take the form of certain
shapes and patterns. Seeing sound brought to life in that way really opened my
eyes, and the TED talk was also really informative about the practical uses of
cymatics. I’m a little bit more familiar with synesthesia though and I really
like the idea of it. I managed to find a short film I saw a few years ago that
explores synesthesia and also introduced me to synesthesia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHnnGHgeyC0
It’s worth a watch, as it’s really creative and well done.
Seeing or feeling the world in a different way and then sharing it is something
that I think I strive for as a filmmaker. This idea of smelling colors or
hearing shapes is something to keep in mind and can make it easier for me to
share what I’m feeling through the medium of film. Expressing ideas in
different ways and through different techniques might reach a viewer on a
completely different level than just straight out showing them or telling them
the general idea.
