Pitch for Dynamic Imaging Project 1:

After spending “play time” building up a stack of books and movies into what resembled structures only to have them fall over and over I decided to build my first piece around this idea. It would also be something to pursue throughout the entire semester, of course.
Each time the structure fell, I was able to build up a little bit higher the next time. I plan to show this in my first video by starting out with a normal landscape scene with a single tree in the center. The action begins with a leaf falling from the tree. As soon as the leaf touches the ground, the whole tree falls over. A building erects out of the ground. The camera begins to pan upwards and never stops doing so. As the camera pans up, the building falls and another building rises in its place. This building falls, a cloud of dust rises up, and another building, larger, rises to take its place. This process continues, possibly with airplanes, clouds, and birds flying in fore/background, though they aren’t important and are more there just for the layering. Eventually it ends with a skyscraper being erected and destroyed, but nothing rises to take its place.
