On Wings: Death of the Sweeper

The Set: To tie together my creative work, film work for others, and a competition, I travelled to the Canberra brickworks and took a bunch of texture photos. After the production of the Local film, we plan to have a small creative hiatus and then we’ll be getting down to film a warped biomechanical fable about a man making himself wings from scrap metal, among other things. These were designed to capture the flesh and blood quality of metal and rust and to experiment with the atmosphere for this movie.

The Photo: Once there was a man that worked for a factory. Unlike everyone else, he did not make the cogs. Instead he cleaned. When the world moved on, he slowly lost purpose and with this he lost his heart in a wave of nothingness. The man soon died and faded away, leaving the ground untended by his broom. All that was once clean is now covered with the dead skin of the world.

Texture: Feel free to use this for anything you want. It took five seconds to take the photo, but I'd still like to see the finished product of anything this is used in. Click download for larger.
