I have the tape and camera ready to go. I'm still trying to get squared away on what the visual elements will be. I had entertained the idea of shooting the dinner table setting (making sure the distance remains the same between the camera and table) in multiple backgrounds, but I still think I would like to keep it in one location. I should be shooting video this weekend.
As a very general central theme, the video clips will relate to time. Again, I don't won't the story to be too specific, as I want to allow people to draw their own conclusions. The time theme should work well with the setting. Having to sit down and eat is a constant, and showing the passage of time through this view makes sense.
There will be a mixture of symbolism and explicit story elements to relate. The video clips should not feature any dialogue, and be about 2 minutes in length. Each video will have its own series of events, so they could exist on their own.
I will have the shots widdled down by the weekend and ready to shoot. I'm also a bit behind on the sound portion of things. I'm going to attempt to get the ball rolling soon.

Sounds like you're trying to work out the specifics of the videos and the relations between them--and the temporal element is going to be heavily emphasized? I think it would be interesting if the videos were looping, since they are so short, and they changed with each repetition. Maybe something as simple as having the videos be of different lengths, or even something more specific or complex--a way of making different temporal relationships, that would slowly develop, if the viewer stayed around, or viewed the piece repeatedly.
