This action is the one to be performed by me for the 10 second animation. These 4 notecards are the actions I wrote down. My experience with this project was better than I expected, although there were some great difficulties on my part. I found that working with an entirely new partner (Hannah Frost, and using light and shadow in interesting ways to be the most beneficial. Capturing an action or the "happening" within the time frame was also interesting, so we made sure that every frame held a specific purpose and wasn't wasted or meaningless to the whole. Difficulty arose when I took Hannah's video of her feeling the wall. I filmed it wrong in that her body was mainly on the left side of the video, which would be covered up as Mad and Peter described to us earlier. The contrast between light and shadow also wasn't too strong. So I took all 40 frames into my photo-editing program, flipped them all vertically and bumped up the contrast so that the difference was much more distinct. Then I took these new 40 frames into my video program and exported it into the video that is available at the top of this post. This is why it is an mp4. file rather than a mov. file. As a project I've never remotely done before, the experience was fresh and overall enjoyable. Working within the style of New Vision Photography was also interesting, and was something I would not have considered if I haven't been exposed to it. It opened the door to new and more interesting possibilities when filming an already obscure act.
