New New Treatment

That's right it's changed again!

Due to starting work on the bear sculpture, I realised that I wouldn't have enough time or money to make all seven sculptures in time for deadline.

So instead, I thought the best thing to do is to create the two main sculptures, the Bear and the Stag, as originally discussed. However, I will be exchanging the rest of the sculptures to make the Beast, as I can make the Beast very large and can focus all my time onto them three instead of rushing seven of them.

Also, an issue has been brought up due to the size of both of my projects, I currently have my 4 busts bundled in the corner of the room but I have half a bear taking up the main space of my bedroom. Sadly, I am struggling to find space for these projects, I have even tried storing them at uni, however, our classroom is shared and I don't want to leave them out to be damaged or take up other peoples work space. I was given the advice to make my current sculptures compactable/transportable, but due to the technique I'm using to put the sculptures together kind of makes it impossible, also I don't have time to test out ways to make it possible due to deadlines are just around the corner.

Earth vs Humans Treatment

Earth vs Humans is an installation piece about natural disasters and the impact it has on humanity using four basic human busts, sculptured by hand using chicken wire and paper- mache. On each bust will be a projection of each natural disaster, volcano, earthquake, tsunami, and hurricane which will be made to animate slightly as if the images were a video of the real thing, by using Photoshop to create these images and animate them. As well using sound to accompany the projection to bring the reality of these events by using Adobe Audition/Pro Tools to create the bassy earth noises with the odd crack or bubbling sound effect to represent the sounds of the each disaster. I wish to improve on this project as last year’s piece did not consist of a sound piece and the projections did not move due to lack of time and poor organization.

Due to their basic human and genderless features the piece lets the audience imprint themselves on the art making it approachable to anyone.

Effects

Instead of making the after effects process too complicated I can just blend the old image on the current footage. I'll keep the old images in black and white then morph in the new footage over the things that have changed, which will then be in colour so you can see the comparison.

The life of the film, movement of the surroundings.

Techniques: blending, overlaying, colouring and fading

Equipment

I can use my canon 650D though I may need to use a microphone to get clear sound (background sound).

Location

Midhurst, a small town in West Sussex that still holds it's vintage background, yet has clearly been enhanced from our development.

My Time Project Treatment

Already loving photography of old abandoned places because of there creepy feel. There's a feeling of fear around them, yet the emptiness sort of brings a new view of life to it.

Pulling me towards them, encouraging me to explore and learn the true story behind this now crumbling structure. 

I know, text book start of a horror movie right there. 

Just seeing these places which were one beautiful and full of people rooming around sort of makes me sad in a way. And the fact that the abandonment isn't just with small houses but institutes, business even towns or cities.

I've even looked around to see why I'm pulled to abandoned places, then I remember how much I love ancient ruins. The Colosseum, Machu Picchu, The Great Pyramids, etc. I love them because of the history that comes with them. Things I wasn't alive for or just didn't see.
It must mean something about mu personality. I know I am a very nostalgic person for events in my life, but abandoned places that mean nothing to me also intrigue me and me feel anxious, excited and nostalgic.

My idea for this project came not only from just messing around on Tumblr but then looking into Jeremy Marshall who photographs urban abandoned places.

Thomas Edison school before and after

This image really gave me the back of my idea. The Mix of old and new in one frame. Of course this being a still image I turned it into a moving image.

 3 old abandoned buildings with most of the structure still standing, one on each screen. Looping from there current crumbling state, to there older built version. Of course I will not be choosing random places to put of screen. I shall be looking into the history of these places to see if they deserve to be remembered. Why they closed down, what they did in the past, any scandalous information about the place, etc.

 The one minute loop will be of them fade or forming into the old form and then reforming back into the old broken down building.

I believe the message I'm trying to portray is that over time things decay, even buildings that might were of great importance and even though now it looks intimidating, we should remember things in there prime and listen to the story that they tell rather then flee at the sight of them.
