This week I've been concentrating on different ways to evaluate and present my revival project. It's a bit weird because my event day was essentially my 'final piece.' It's been going quite well, but its been quite difficult gathering together eveybody's photos, sketches, notes etc. and organising them. Also I had about two thousand pictures of the day to edit down for my film, which is a mix of stop frame animation and video footage. The film turned out quite well, but it was really hard using windows movie maker on my old slow computer. There are a few changes I need to make- some parts are frustratingly juddery.
Anyway, here are some of my favourite photos people took on the disposible cameras.
There were so many more photos. I expected to find alot of shots of the clocktower when I picked up the prints and I thought I would find this a bit boring and predictable, but actually I really loved looking at the different way people had recorded it. I liked the fact I knew exatly where the person was standing when they took the picture and what was surrounding them at that specific moment- for example, Paul (the newspaper vendour) has the best view of the clocktower because his booth sits directly infront of it, but his photo gave me the chance to see exactly the view he's seen almost every day for 32 years.
