Contrast Between Dreams And Reality

This is my first experimental video of my new project in which I want to create my own version of the dream sequences shown in the movie inception. I was influenced by the exploding city scene, in which Cobb is sitting at a cafe with Ariadne explaining to her the construction of a dream and how people perceive them. Cobb says that you only realize you were in a dream when something strange starts to happen. Then with his consciousness he causes various explosions throughout the streets and houses in order to convince Ariadne they are in a dream.

With my first video I wanted to bring that "scene" to the street of Portobello. My purpose is to show the contrast between dreams and reality. Therefore, i decided to make something solid (in this case the street) to explode while walking over it. "In a dream we create and perceive our world simultaneously and our mind does this so well that we don't even know that its happening" meaning that we don't have actual control of the architecture as we do in real life.
