"Large-Scale Operation"

This video below was developed as a marketing piece and
 was produced, edited, and presented for a 'gold-prospector' audience... 
because gold prospectors don't care about glitz... unless it's a reflection off the surface of gold.
 
Approach: 
  • pixilated transitions- to (subconsciously) represent the granular separation of gold flakes/"pickers"/nuggets, amid the other "fines/concentrates" (as they are called), in any given "return",
  • demonstrate the complete setup of a small-scale production system and the operation, to... "sell the dream!"
  • incorporate recognizable music that was (symbolically) relevant to the pursuit of 'said dream'- prospecting.]

This example used the IARNG Military Service bio of (CSM) Larry W Steele as the ‘words’, with each letter filled in with the varying colors/tones of a (referential) photograph- underlayment, to create the ‘ WORD PORTRAIT’ ILLUSION of his likeness. The words are there, but the (real) message is expressed through imagery.
