Folding Time; The Human Marquee

Post by rodent » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:26 am

Anyone familiar with the Folding Time Project might be interested in this idea. A marquee of human bodies, forming letters, scrolling across the time lapse camera.

I can envision PVC pipe letters held horizontally by a number of people standing shoulder to shoulder, to be used as a frame of reference, and keep the letters cohesion as a group of people take one step forward every 10 or 20 seconds across the camera's view. Then, right behind them, another letter, then another.

The letters could spell out any number of words, phrases or sentences. Such as "BURNINGMAN 2004; (theme name)", "PARTICIPATE", "FUCK TIMELAPSE CAMERAS", ect.

Does this even make sense?

Though it makes sense it requires a steadfastness and patience that doesn't seem feasible at Burningman.

maybe just a "scene" set up in the camera view that can be changed a few times a day - if you know the camera timing you could even avoid being caught during scene changes.

It might be fun to use the Folding-Time camera to create stopmotion animation sequences for the unintentional entertainment of FT viewers- Thosr of you who have played with super 8 cameras know what I'm talking about....
