This was just a proof of concept for a project I am doing for ds106. I am planning on using two cameras. First I will start at what will ultimately be my final destination in the video, and take a picture of the place. Then I will view that image on the camera’s LCD, and take another picture from slightly further away from the original shot using another camera (this may require two people). The second photo should show the same basic scene but from a few feet away and show the other camera displaying the previous photo. I will then display that second image on the second camera, and take a third picture using the first camera from another few feet away that has the second camera showing the second image in it. I will rinse and repeat this process until I reach a limit of being tired and usefulness of additional photos.
Then I will take the photos in reverse order of them being taken, and place them nested in Prezi, creating a path that zooms in on the camera’s displayed image shown in each photo. This will create the visual effect of travelling from the viewpoint of the last photo taken all the way back recursively to the viewpoint of the first photo taken. Then I’ll find a way to make the zooming extra smooth or some other way to make the “travelling” process appropriately gripping, and screen capture the video from Prezi using Camstudio, and then do whatever sexy video editing works for the art of the work.
