About the design

clockwork is David's first-year film at the RCA. It began life - like much of his work - as a series of illustrations and sketches, depicting a sense of environment and emotions. David has a particular affinity with circular narratives and loops within his work, which probably derives from previously working in a non-time based discipline. The themes of clockwork are based on monotony and the cycle of work through a father and son relationship. Every day, the son is trying to get the father to play with the clockwork toy, yet his father is too exhausted from work.
