DESCRIPTION:
From Samantha Marais' album "At My Door". Follow up to "Real Life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REdLe4aSKTg from which it follows on directly. Sam and I worked out the basic idea of returning to her house and getting ready for bed but we needed to show ideas of "home" which the song is about. I had been thinking about shadows anyway so I suggested using shadows of childhood, parents, etc. Sam immediately saw what I had in mind and this is the result. The shadows were filmed on an empty floor of an office building and composited using After Effects.
