Cutting it close
Dave and I had a serious session working on this today. We had many objectives: to have a paper plane being passed fom location to location with different people, to create a basic tune for our clip, to gather images for the body of our clip from google earth, and altogether process them in photoshop for final production.
Dave took photos of classmates acting as plane passers against a blank wall in the photolab. We planned to superimpose them on top of their location, i.e. a landmark in India etc.
I spent hours processing photos of our volunteer, Jack, to be the final scene in our clip. From this, 36 good final images of him were produced, which can be seen featured in the last part of our clip. He is superimposed in front of a famous piece of British design by Banksy. We are very grateful that Jack took the time out from his own work to help us with our clip. Unfortunately, we don’t have a huge amount of time to superimpose the other ‘actors’ into our clip. We are still very grateful for their help also. We will still see our message bounce from country to country across the globe.
I also took roughly 170 images from Google Earth which span across countries. We had the intention of applying lines on top of the images to show the path our plane has travelled.
I also made a quick mix up of a song which may sound similar to M.I.A.’s song ‘paper planes’. We thought this tune would give us an obvious cheesy humour effect.
Early tomorrow we plan to add additional frames to our beginning and end to provide a less confusing storyline.
