I have decided to rethink my proposal, where my attempt was to combine time lapse sequences from my surroundings in Wellington and my second (or first) home in Copenhagen recorded simultaneously. I still like the idea, but to realise it I probably would need a more stabile internet connection than what I have right now in my apartment, where it jumps off quite often. To make the combined time lapse more interesting, it would have been great to somehow merge the two sequences together using a projector to show both indoor and outdoor life in the exact same time in two different locations. Hmm.. overall I realised that the idea would get a bit complicated to realise with my limited equipment and unreliable internet even though I found it very interesting.
I still would like to experiment with this mix of time lapses though..Perhaps I find a way or technique to realise the project in an interesting way. My plan is to give it a try in Premiere, perhaps mixing the frames in different ways during the sequence.
Another idea is to show appearance of the moment of now by using geo tagging. I will try to find different examples of situations in the “moment of now” from around the world to experiment with the idea of what “now” consists of. I guess my final project would then consist of a series of edited and matched pictures. I made some research and found that Flickr Clock lists video sequences in time order. I think there might be some other opportunities to look at as well: Google Earth, Share on Ovi etc.
Well..I will just keep on experimenting with these different ideas..perhaps something tunes out to have a strong visual effect in itself perhaps a mix of different aspects of these ideas will lead me to the end result.
