Artist Statement
My
stop motion animation is titled “Progression of Time.” The film was shot around
Gainesville, Florida. The purpose of my project is to capture time while living
in Gainesville, Florida. The footage took place in a day’s worth of activities.
I went to downtown Gainesville and Payne’s Prairie to shoot the film. I wanted
to capture the sunrise and sunset to show progression and time throughout the
day. I also wanted to capture the untouched land of this world versus civilization.
Time elapses in that sense because everything in the past used to be barren
land untouched by humans. Downtown Gainesville has many buildings and there are
many people walking the streets. There is a form of art that can be seen
walking down the streets. The beauty seen in nature with the sunrise, sunsets,
and the view of the never ending fields is art created by nature. In
the fields of Payne’s Prairie, time elapses solely based off of the position of
the sun in the sky. In downtown Gainesville, time is captured by not only the sun
setting, but the restaurants filling up with people and the lights on the
streets lighting up when it gets dark. There is almost a glowing feel to
downtown Gainesville when it gets dark. For the pictures, I used a Visco filter
to capture the color in the images. I wanted to make the pictures look
mysterious, cinematic, and saturated at the same time. The Visco filter really
allowed me to do that.
