Great concept, playing an interview of a retired soldier over the top of game footage from Call of Duty.
To think, ten years ago you couldn't even buy a plastic toy gun and now you have teenagers not really knowing the difference between fiction / fantasy and reality. Sitting in front of a screen for the full weekend, getting paler and paler, building up thumbs like biceps, loosing the use of their legs, talking to friends they have never even met, where is all this leading.
You can turn on your games console and become anything you have ever dreamt about!

His next project 'Kill Zone' which were images of top paintball locations, exhibited in light boxes was very inspirational. The images were so sharp and detailed, which was brought to life with the use of a black frame and light box behind. The detail within the compositions was transfixing, I could have spent all day looking at these images and still found something that I may have missed the first time.
