The infinite project
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I had an idea brewing in mind for ages now, and today I actually talked it through with Uka/Nic for the first time. Since we were chatting about his new camera and considering trying to do a double exposure project.
Anyhow my idea was to have a few photographers, probably our fellow flickr friends etc to shoot a photo of themselves holding an A4 frame, then each image would be ’shopped together inside each other, in a series of shots that link together and eventually loop round.
Then I was going to take it the next stage up, and somehow in flash produce a looped flash version of this, so you could scroll through each image, or go backwards, and it would loop over and be never ending. This was inspired from a the infinite oz flash I have seen, amazing visuals, insane detail - amazing. Anyway I was discussing with Nic the logic of how to make images loop around like that, and he was very handy in thinking through a work around with me.
I don’t know how some people do it, it’s like this is how I know I could never be a proper hardcore dev or programmer, their minds just work a certain way, they see things in a certain angle that makes them come up with such solutions I could never ever thought of. I mean I consider myself a reasonable problem solver but some people just take the biscuit. THAT’S why they’re hardcore geeky devs or technical geniuses.
So yeah, after discussion with Nic, I’m so going to try this idea out, but with just images of myself first, it’s still going to be hard though. Hmm…
Oh and in other news…LEMMINGS ON THE DS!! Sqeee!
