project three: rough cut

here is a rough cut of the type of effect I am aiming for with this project.

project three: narrative

each word to be displayed separately, one per every-other second, with video playing in opposite every-other second.

ten significant objects

For the final project, I want to incorporate my hoarding tendencies alongside my useless collections, of which I have many. I want to add a theatrical quality to the final video, reflecting some kind of cabaret/performance. The projector screen will have heavy involvement. (description of each object at the bottom of this post, I couldn't figure out how to get it beside or under the images)

1) Seat map of elementary/high school auditorium; involvement of many performances

2) Ring; given by best friend when she left Toronto

3) Box of receipts; collected since grade six, useless collection

4) Marionette Puppet; childhood gift from grandmother 

5) Projector Screen; owned by my parents to show slides of family photos when they first got married

6) Negatives Collection; negatives from every photo I have taken on analogue camera, since a young age

7) Filing Cabinet; contains documents from all past employers, all school documents (including grade slips and project outlines), birthday cards collected since a young age, every letter given to me, postcards

8) Car Key; from my first car, which played a very significant role in my life

9) Cello bow

10) Boxes; containing useless collections of receipts, old found objects, old gifts, scrap fabric

final countdown: rip wrap

Before creating the final, Sara and Tracy gave the following advice, based on seeing  "mock-up.mov":

- although subtlety is nice, make sure the numbers are visible

- design the numbers uniquely from one another so that it doesn't get predictable

- use the different surfaces of the box; maybe it will roll over at different points?

- allow the paper to pile up a lot around the box, so that at the end maybe the box is hardly visible

- design each box as if it were a different present, and having no relation to the previous or next wrapping design

- create a colour scheme / use clashing colours to exaggerate the separateness of each layer

- bright colours might make it exciting

Thanks guys!
