Notes for Judging: |
The inspiration behind creating this film was recently catching myself on a number of occasions jumping on a curb mimicking a skateboard move completely subconsciously while idle. This ignited in me a curiosity to explore the nature of these odd reflexes and subconscious behaviours athletes, of all calibers, engage in.
What excited me was that even though I focused on athletes, these notions of unconscious idiosyncrasies and quiet obsession completely transcend sports.
