Well I am sure that you are more than fed up with the amount of text so far, (I know I am) so I have decided to upload some short clips of what I have been working on, and some of the tests I am currently doing.
This first video, is a test to see how well the plastic screen works being back-lit, and how clear the image is.
I decided that one way for me to link the material to the environment was to comment on our polluted oceans, and project a walk along a beach the morning after a storm.
Unfortunatly, there are a couple of factors which I am not pleased about, both with the footage and screen, such as; too much of the image is broken up, and its hard to make out what is going on in the video, and walking through churned-up sand whilst trying to keep a camera steady proved to be more difficult than I imagined.
What to do?
To solve some of these issues, I plan on limiting myself to only using clear plastic carrier-bags, and with my next footage I will be try using a tripod to take stills which I will then convert into a time-lapse.
I’v already given a description on Youtube.
