The piece was edited in After Effects as well as Imovie while many of the screengrabs came from personal footage while the glitches were used as a green screen/blue screen right on top of the videos. In-between crops and zooms between glitches on the original footages gave the video a more glitched looked. Many glitches, overlay and green screen were used to create the glitchy electronic and overwhelming feeling of the piece.
There were a lot of audio effects as well which were used to overwhelm and create a sense of increasing anxiety, panic within the user/viewer. Their frequency and power were changed as the uneasiness seeped in, their range augmenting as the anxiety, repetition and glitches augment as well.
