"Lifelines" is a digital video depicting a protagonist's moment of transition - in walking away from the abusive confines of one life and starting a new one filled with both promise and uncertainty. Using only image and music, it distills the essence of this dramatic arc in 60 seconds as it seeks to convey a meaning beyond what words can adequately describe. The challenge of this work was to portray a dramatic arc in about 60 seconds using no more than three hours of shooting (using a Canon XL-1 rental from SAW) and three hours of editing (on SAW's Avid Express System).
