DLR Space Time Analysis Video 




So this is the new video i made for the DLR space time analysis.
This time i chose to do the acting myself because it was very difficult last time to explain to my friend what to do and how to do it, she just didn't get it...... so i didn't really get the results i was hoping to get, plus it's very intimidating to act and dance in the DLR as passengers stare at you like an alien, plus i got stopped every single 10 min and got asked for a license from the DLR which obviously i didn't have.
So i asked one of my friend to film me this time, it wasn't easy at all!!It was his first time filming and i insisted on him filming from certain angles and zooming into certain things, but he was intimidated by the crowd and he wouldn't do it...we spent hours and hours just trying to get one single shot right the way i wanted it!!
It was exhausting and he got fed up of it after couple of hours...luckily i managed to get couple of footage and play with it to create this video.
Overall i think it's ok as the first video i made, i posted it on Facebook, it had lots of great comments...it still needs couple of changes like overlaying the map to understand the movement when I'm trying to locate the destination, reverse some of the footage to understand that we are going back in time.....
Im working on it and will post it very soon !!
The difficulty lies in acting and managing the camera when I'm not the one handling it, so i get distracted from the initial thing i was planning to do, although i had it all written down on a piece of paper
The great thing about it is i love dance and expressing ideas and feelings and i get great buzz out of it!!
Representing architecture through dance is something new to me but i'm loving it.
My tutor Nic was right when he said you need to do something you are passionate about!!
