Artist Statement – The Eventide Sector


You've appeared in a new dimension, a dreamscape made purely of thought, sound and observation…. You turn yourself around to see a billboard up ahead. You see on it, it spells out your current location in big bold letters…. You now know where you are…. Your current coordinates, The Eventide Sector.”

Edwin Nicholson’s Research project this year wanted to answer the question, how can he create a short opening sequence that reflects the styles of Rod Serling’s ‘The Twilight Zone’. He has tried to capture the feeling that you’re in the early 60’s, and you’re watching a show in black and white on an old analog TV set. The show features a title sequence, three introductions to stories that he has created that may or may not make you think.

‘The Twilight Zone’ is a show with multiple genres created in 1959 by the Science-fiction Legend Rod Serling. The original show lasted till 1964. He thinks the one thing that made the original ‘Twilight Zone’ so popular was the introduction of each story. Rod Serling would come on screen and tell you the premise of what’s happening. Would get you hooked on the story in at least a minute.
Enjoy your personal viewing, of the Eventide Sector.
