Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were
one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, and as its location
has never been established. There are many legends and myths as to its existence.
Therefore, I wanted to animate the build of the hanging garden of Babylon
temple to support a legend that the Gardens were
a structure to allow the Neo-Babylonian rulers to pursue their very traditional
and religious practices.
As a place
of worship the temple is grand and towering structure, pointing to the gods,
and the pinnacle of the structure being a tree. The tree represented beauty,
strength, wisdom and eternal life. Therefore the layers of the structure signify the building of a life from the bottom mother
earth layer, to the water providing nutrients and the Tree being the
crowning glory.
The gardens disappearing in the sandstorm adds
to the mystery of the Gardens.
With respect to sound, like many places of
worship, temples are quiet so we can appreciate the natural surroundings. Therefore
sound in the clip is to provide atmosphere only
