Test takes

Powers of Ten.


I have settled on the "Strata" concept to use for the portal. I am going to honor Charles & Ray Eames' film, "Powers of Ten," by creating stop-motion animations of a location seen from above. I will use illustration rather than photos or live action. And it will be black and white. I will use a MAX patch to control my DV camera to capture the images and write them directly into a movie file.



The Setup.

Here is a test stop motion technique I will be using for the final. It's a lot easier than I had thought it would be, but I fear that the real deal will be a lot more time consuming.
