A Day in My Life

Writing about the Chicken Project reminded me of another open ended project I did in my final year at Conestoga. Week/Day was a project that asked my classmates and I to visually communicate what a typical week or day in our life was like. I do not remember how I came up with the idea, but I decided to create an impossibly long string of photos that I collaged together to show my path from my house to my classroom at school and back. I knew I would need to do all of the photos at once which caused me to be late for class, but I was, and continue to be, really happy with how it turned out in the end.

Once I had the photos together in one long strip I realized that my idea of printing a book was too difficult (though I would still love an enormous print with an accordion fold). To solve the printing problem I decided not to print at all. With the help of a couple classmates and countless internet tutorials I used After Effects and Flash to put the project together in a video format. My website will expire and soon this will be my sole online presence, but for the time being you can check out the project here. Below there are also a few screen shots of different parts of my day.
