This is a music video for An Echo, a song of the high school band I was a part of, Mang. This video was created with footage I took over the summer of 2012 during my travels from Prince Rupert, BC to Fort McMurry, to Montana, Colorado, Texas and Lewesiana. This video is kind of monotonous, and was created largely to show this footage, but also because I had some associations between this material and this song..
I went to these places because I knew them as centers of activity for various industrial development, and I felt like I wanted to explore these issues further. A lot of my experiences filming in these places was pretty wreckless, and I had no idea what I was doing in these areas. I definitely learned a lot about the scale various industries, and had a lot of drive to use this material and continue this crusade of media activism.. .
How much it mattered that I took detours to visit these places I am not sure, some times I feel like I have not fully processed the significance seeing these places- It still feels like a dream, but having this material has helped to feel like I am contributing to something, but more so like a step continuing some long journey of activism.
