So before this project really began I really had no idea how to start. I've never been good with projects that were just open ended with out any real direction other than the one we take. As I was walking home from work one night I realized the campus of OSU is almost alien at 5 in the morning. It's crazy to see High Street completely free of cars or people. I found this to be really cool so I took a picture of an intersection I pass regularly. Then I took another picture of this intersection at around noon. Then I started to compare the two. I realized that they were different and lining them up was cool but it didn't really feel like a final project. So I took more pictures at different times and put 4 times together in one picture. This was better but by only seeing part of any time you don't get the full experience of being at the same place at distinctly different times. So I knew i'd have to make it move. I decided on a rotational disk made up of 8 pieces so that any time could be represented in two places in the piece. After some cutting of the pictures and some learning of the animation timeline tool, I was able to make my project. While I'm pretty happy with it, I feel like after it was done I could have taken it further and done work times. I'm not sure if it would have the same impact to have more subtle changes, but it would be interesting to try.
