This video was created as a collaboration between Dave Brown and David Nixon. All images and videos were shot by Dave Brown at a variety of locations.
There were then a series of conversations about what Dave wanted to express in the finished piece.
The editing and music composition was completed by David Nixon.
Conceptualise
The Burden from an idea Dave Brown had to carry a concrete block around with him as a metaphor for the baggage we carry in life. By physicalising this emotional weight, the film shows how important it is to sometimes put it down and rest.
Capture
The Images and videos were taken in and around Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex. The finished film tells the story of the journey around the area. You will note the straps that Dave used to carry the block, these became an important aesthetic to the finished piece.
Collaborate
Working together was a crucial part of this project. It would have been possible for Dave to use an automated or AI editing platform, but the collaboration became an important part of the meaning of the film itself.
Create
The finished piece was published on Linkedin and the now debunked Driftwood Studio Substack account. The feedback was varied, but generally the film was well received and, for the most part, people understood the message.
