This was our inspiration for the idea of using live streaming within our performance. This is video called The Great War by Hotel Modern, previously spoken about. The idea of creating a video purely out of pictures with slight movement in them inspired us because it allowed us experiment with the camera and work together as a group exploring our ideas with this technique. It also intrigued us as it created two elements of performance, watching the people control and manipulate the scenes and watching the end result as it was projected.
The idea emerged of creating our own animation with ease through the use of cameras and camera phones. We thought that we could replicate this in our own performance by having a video camera filming a sequence and projecting this for the audience to see.
We chose not to use a high quality camera to create our videos to create authentic videos and to create a low cost effect to mimic technology that everyone is accessible to. This relates to dreaming as that is also a everyday occurance and wanting the videos to create a ‘home video effect’.
We practised with this technology and made our own video with the combination of Stop Motion.
