Experimental Videos
Sell's short film & video work commonly combines experimental techniques with a non-fiction diary film style. Much of his experimental work challenges the perception of the viewer by presenting multi-layered and abstract moving images in order to construct narrative through motion. Some of these films have been referred to as being 'reminiscent of early Stan Brakhage'.

Famous quotes containing the words experimental and/or videos:
“If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning, concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
