Analogue scratch film animation from Chloe Debonnaire on Vimeo.
An experimental film inspired by people with ADD and ADHD. Using archive footage of an office scene I wanted to almost recreate the scenario with how someone with ADD or ADHD would be viewing the situation. I wanted the camera to be the eyes of the viewer, so that they can see into the scene as if they were present - they are looking through the eyes of someone with ADD or ADHD. I deliberately chose a stereotypically boring segment of footage as that is when distractions and lack of focus most obviously occur, with the person losing track of what is being spoken about and thinking about something else and making their surroundings more interesting with their imagination. I used colour, bleach and scratching to show this.
I also used sound to reflect what was going on, using a variety of office sounds and adding someone whistling so depict the way the persons thoughts are in the clouds and they're thinking about other things.
The title 'Wait, What?' I chose because it is what I find myself saying in like 60% of conversations when I realise I haven't been listening to what someone has been saying to me for a solid 5 minutes. Hopefully it will strike a familiar chord with others as well, as it's such a relatable ADD/ADHD phrase, or some variety there upon.
