This project was entirely made from paper cutouts from the Internet and multiple magazines. As for the camera used, my Nikon D60 was our main instrument of focus. Frame by frame, a total of 400 pictures was used to create this project taking over 2 hours of picture taking and set up. For this project students were instructed to create an original video relating to a text, or a music video that they enjoyed or could relate to. We chose the text Language by Stephen Fry. Excerpts from the text were used as our main area of focus, playing around with the meaning of letters, words and language. Amusing yet thought provoking, our video asked questions without revealing answers, and let the viewers enjoy the enigma.
