Fluid is an experimental VFX short film that explores the concept of mental fluidity and sees human cognition as a process of birth, awakening, thought, realization, imagination, and finally... understanding. The work is based on the view that thoughts should flow through the mind into an ocean of ideas uninhibited by ancient superstitions and primal impulses. Mental fluidity is maintained by a habitual, philosophical practice of critical self-reflection that holds nothing sacred, or above honest investigation without predetermining the answers. Authentic education in concert with a balanced use of technology can free us to maintain a childlike elasticity that is perpetually... FLUID.
