Depict a space by using only 2D photographs, taken at consistent intervals, to create a “flip-book” style montage that can be played as a series of gifs with text overlays in the same style as NYT’s Walking in War’s Path. One example workflow would be to set up the story in Photoshop using the “animation” feature, setting each frame to 1 second and pausing for 5 seconds on frames that have text, to give readers time to absorb. Another would be to create short videos containing a series of photos that are each 1 second long, and potentially sound.
The goal of the project is to experiment with the nature of the flipbook / stop motion aesthetic and what it can convey, to see how the 2D medium of photography can be used to explore 3D space. Consider how you would like to contextualize your chosen space and the images you use to represent it. What interests you about the space? What would you like the viewer to experience? What “information,” whether literal or aesthetic, do you provide to support this goal?
