Final Project - Sample

This is a project from last semester. I want to base my next project on this sort of collage technique. Only, you know, moving.

Final Project - Ancient and Modern

After working with Jason on my last project, we got to talking about why it is that we both enjoy photographing and painting railroads and trains (and it’s not even Freudian). My fascination comes from the urban decay so frequently associated with the railway system, because, after all, the decreased popularity of trains as a means of transportion has resulted in economic devastation for many cities. So for my next project, I wanted to use the words “ancient” and “modern” to make a statement about how technology is changing the landscape of the country. But when I thought about it, I realized that American doesn’t have anything in the way of “ancient” architecture. America’s ancient architecture is the landscape itself.
So for my next project, I want to make a 30 second stop motion animation out of a photo collage. It will start with a landscape, which will then slowly be edged out by brick buildings and railroads, only to be slowly covered up by modern skyscrapers made of metal and glass.
Right now I’m in the process of collecting photos for the project.
