happy & sad at the same time by MM

the idea behind this:

i’ve worked racking my brain around this feeling “happy and sad at the same time” trying to understand how i would ever show that in a video. then i came up with the idea of the most basic thing that starts my day and can change the whole way i feel in a second, looking out the window when i wake up. the fact is, if it’s rainy and dark i automatically feel a little bummed vs the moment when i look out the window and it’s sunny and i feel like i can do anything with this lovely day. what i did then was keep my camera in the same spot for a few days and filmed the mornings… waiting for a day that made me feel the “sad”… and a day that make me feel the “happy”. to even better showcase this i have the audio ripped into two sides… the left goes with the sad and the right goes with the happy… listening to both headphones at the same time will overlap these and hopefully help with the happy/sad experience. the audio is a piece by me… the sad is the original playing in the correct direction… the happy is playing backwards… starting with the huge sounds of the finish (the feeling that is already great and anything is yours today)
