EXTREME SYMBOLS is an experimental animation short and score that was completed between 2021 and 2022. The work is a dedication and homage to my dear friend Baramet (Ham) Laosethakul who passed away in early 2021. The work has been a process of my grief, and seeks to process joint memories, environments, dreams, and speculative nostalgia between two friends.

Are we able to create and position omens in a state of lucid dreaming? Could these supernatural objects grant fortuitous affect upon the waking life. EXTREME SYMBOLS is a process of digitally seeking and creating new artefacts and images in order to consolidate the past and present.

EXTREME SYMBOLS incorporates a mixture of various mediums, methodologies, and subject matter to address the various stages and ideas that are involved in consolidating loss. The experimental film includes the use of photogrammetry to create digital scanned artefacts, sourced video footage, live-action film, digital sculpture and animation, motion capture, and artificial intelligent assisted imagery.
